Your Attic Access, Boarding and Insulation Experts

Learn more about the services we provide to make your loft access safer, maximise storage potential and make your home warmer.

Boarding

Board your loft for greater convenience, storage and safety. We supply and install LoftJoist products which allow for insulation to be installed correctly between your ceiling and your loft boarding.

Ladders

Fitted ladders make accessing your loft space easy and safe. Fitted ladders are stored inside your loft and retrieved when needed through the hatch.

Hatches

We supply and install new insulated hatches to replace old ones but we can also change the location of your loft hatch and make good the old one so you’d never know it was ever there.

Insulation

The correct depth, density and quality of your roof insulation is essential to saving money and keeping warm. We supply and install loft insulation.

Prevent & Solve Condensation

Condensation in loft spaces can be solved with the right treatment and maintenance measures. We can survey your loft space for condensation and supply and install equipment to prevent and solve damp issues.

Loft Hatches and Safety

A safe and accessible loft space starts with the right loft hatch. When using loft ladders to reach your attic, a well-designed loft hatch is essential for secure and stable entry. Modern loft hatches are crafted from sturdy materials and feature secure locking mechanisms, providing an excellent solution for safe loft access in any home.

Choosing a loft hatch with built-in insulation and fire resistance not only helps prevent accidents but also reduces heat loss, making your loft more energy efficient. Insulated loft hatches help maintain a comfortable temperature in your home, keeping heat in during winter and out during summer.

Loft hatches are available in various sizes and styles to suit different ceiling heights and loft layouts, ensuring a tailored fit for your property. Regular maintenance and inspection of your loft hatch are important to keep it functioning safely and efficiently. Whether you need a standard or custom-sized hatch, investing in a high-quality, well-insulated loft hatch is the first step to creating a safer, more energy-efficient loft space.


Fire Safety and Prevention

Fire safety is a top priority when it comes to your loft space. Installing a fire-resistant loft hatch is a smart way to help protect your home and family. Loft hatches made with fire-resistant materials, such as mineral wool, can help contain a fire and prevent it from spreading to other parts of your property.

A fire-resistant loft hatch acts as a barrier, giving you valuable time in the event of an emergency. Features like self-closing mechanisms and fire-resistant seals further enhance safety, making these hatches an excellent choice for any loft. Regular inspection and maintenance of your loft hatch can help identify potential fire hazards and ensure your hatch remains in top condition.

When selecting a loft hatch, it’s important to choose one that meets the latest fire safety standards and building regulations. By installing a fire-resistant loft hatch, you’re not only improving the safety of your loft but also adding peace of mind for you and your loved ones.


Understanding U Value

When it comes to energy efficiency in your loft space, understanding the U-value of your loft hatch is key. The U-value measures how well a building component, like a loft hatch, prevents heat loss. A lower U-value means better insulation and less heat escaping from your home, which can help you save money on energy bills.

The U-value of a loft hatch depends on factors such as the materials used, the thickness of the insulation, and the overall design. Loft hatches with a low U-value are more energy efficient, helping to create a well-insulated loft and reduce your carbon footprint. Adding insulation, such as mineral wool, or choosing hatches made from high-performance materials can further improve thermal performance.

By selecting a loft hatch with a low U-value, you’re making a smart investment in your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. It’s an important consideration for anyone looking to create a warm, energy-efficient loft space.


Building Regulations and Compliance

Ensuring your loft hatch meets current building regulations is essential for both safety and energy efficiency. Regulations such as Part L set specific standards for thermal performance, fire resistance, and safe access, all of which are crucial for a compliant loft space.

Choosing a loft hatch that complies with these regulations helps reduce energy bills, improve energy efficiency, and lower your home’s carbon footprint. It also ensures your loft access is safe and up to code, avoiding potential penalties or costly modifications in the future.

Building regulations can vary depending on your location and the type of property you own, so it’s always wise to seek professional help when selecting and installing your loft hatch. By working with experts, you can be confident that your loft hatch meets all necessary standards, providing you with a safe, energy-efficient, and high-performing loft space.
