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.

We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.

You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
How much does a loft ladder cost in Chippenham?
This work is not an energy-saving material for VAT, so it is standard-rated if VAT applies. Where it is done alongside insulation, the quote shows each part separately.
Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about a loft ladder in Chippenham
What do I need to do before you arrive in Chippenham?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Will I get a written quote for work in Chippenham?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Is loft work in Chippenham 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.
How long does it take to fit a loft ladder?
Two to four hours into a suitable hatch. Half a day or more if the opening is enlarged.
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.
