1100mmx700mm

As a roofer I have climbed a few different types . This one is more robust than most I have came across and good value . I wouldn’t recommend fitting by a DIYer unless you’re really handy . A bit of a faff to fit and a real risk of the spring loaded hatch closing on you while you are standing inside the frame fitting it . I After removing the ladder from the brackets I cut a couple of bits of old facing and jammed them into the ladder retaining brackets and the frame edge ( take the draft seal out first ) to stop it closing accidentally. The latch lets it down a bit and fitting a small metal loop on the hatch door to hook it down with the rods handle would make operating easier. All together though a good buy

The designer has sat down and given some thought to this product. It is made of knot-free wood and the fixings are of good quality. The whole product is well constructed and has a solid feel to it.The stays lock into position and the springs are well balanced for easy operation. It is straightforward to fit; one person can do it, but you would probably need a second pair of hands to open the door after screwing the frame in position, depending on how you tackled the job. I removed the ladder which made it lighter and easier to do. The supplier has a choice of four hatch sizes and delivery at the time of purchase was free through amazon and at a very good price. It was on offer and I had looked locally for a decent ladder but most wanted a lot more money for an inferior product. The packaging was good, a piece of hardboard protected the hatch face, reinforced cardboard at the corners, cellophane wrapping to protect against damp and an outer cardboard box. I gave the ladder a couple of coats of varnish both to keep the treads clean and also to protect against moisture as my loft is not enclosed. I rarely write reviews but i was so pleased with this hatch and ladder that it deserves some praise. I would thouroughly recommend this product.

Great item. Fed up with using step ladders and extending ladders, it was time to fit a proper set of steps and the handrail was a requirement for my purchase. Great in use, folds away easily and is simple to operate and close. A bit of a struggle fitting it, it is a heavy item and there isn't much you can remove to reduce the weight. Once in the opening it was easy to level up and fix in position but its definitely not a one man job lifting it up to the hole. Overall very pleased.

Superb product. Fitted in a day and the result is a neat, functional and safe loft access. Instructions say two people but, I was able to complete the job by myself but there is a bit of lifting and shifting so be prepared. To make the job easier I stripped out the ladder from the hatch. I decided to make a sub frame with an internal measurement the same as the external on the loft hatch frame. This made the job easier as I could fix a relitavely light frame to the loft and then offer up the loft ladder frame, clamp and secure with sturdy screws that passed through both frames. May appear a bit of messing about but it does make the job easier. Just a couple of points though. I would have likes hex key fittings for the ladder to hatch as these are tight against the metal frame and easy to strip the heads. Secondly, as the top rungs rest on the loft hatch my size 12's don't have much room. to overcome this I will place spacers under the ladder fittings to give a little standoff. Also, when fitting the plastic shoes to allow for an internal moulding, drill out the four, two on each shoe, screw fittings and these will fit better. Otherwise once the bottom run is cut to length, fitting the shoes will raise the height stopping the ladder sections from closing snugly. But, excellent product and I will be buying another for my garage loft.

WOW: This is a quality product that will impress! Solid, sturdy, safe and stylish. We fitted one for a customer who was thrilled. The unit is VERY heavy to lift into place - so we, as recommended, dismantled the ladder from the door to enable us to lift it up into place. It took two of us from 10 till 5:30 to install it and finish the caulking etc ready for over-painting - the actual hatch door is a grey-white finish. We were not in a hurry as we wanted to get it right first time! (Cock-ups are a pain to correct in ceilings!) Measure thrice cut once!! One working below and one in the loft (Hot work!!) We used a couple of 'Lidl' (acrow-type) props to hold the unit up in place whilst we screwed it into position. Cutting the stairs to length was a bit nerve wracking (two steps were cut off) and the sliding mounting was used to get the ladder to open perfectly. the plastic feet screwed on to give neat finish. We were extra careful when measuring up beforehand because it is a BIG hatch 1100x700 ti fit in the available space (we braced the frames together before we cut through the middle one.and needed us to cut through one joist - so we had to get it right! We would definitely recommend this unit to others. Note: Be prepared to quote for installing flooring as well as these super stairs encourage loft usage! Cheers BPS - nice product Dave & Raul

BEST IDEA WE HAVE HAD . Avoiding going up to the loft is a thing of the past now- as it is so secure and comfortable to pull down and use in slippers. Brilliant.

Bought the larger size as I wanted to get a Christmas tree and suitcases in and out of my loft easily. Really good quality ladder, not hardwood but larch I believe. Fairly easy to fit but a really good mechanism and easy to use.
