I thought as I have a very old house that boarding my loft and creating a bigger hatch would be a messy and big job ( including replastering of the ceiling). In fact the job was done in just over two hours and no mess created whatsoever – the loft hatch looks like it’s always been there. I’m very happy, the ladder provides easy access and the quality boarding has provided a usable storage space for things I don’t use often – like my Christmas tree. Thanks Access4lofts. Work is highly recommended by me.
