What is a loft ladder?
The ladder has to suit the floor-to-ceiling height, the hatch size and the space on the landing where it lands. Ladders with an integrated insulated hatch are the neatest option because they replace the old hatch completely. More about a loft ladder.

Questions about a loft ladder in Houghton-le-Spring
Is loft work in Houghton-le-Spring different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
Do you charge extra to travel to Houghton-le-Spring?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Houghton-le-Spring. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Houghton-le-Spring book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
What size hatch do I need for a loft ladder?
Most standard ladders need an opening of about 550 by 700 mm or more. We check the model against your hatch before ordering.
Can you fit a loft light at the same time?
We can arrange it. A new lighting circuit is notifiable electrical work, so we use a registered electrician.
