Installation of an Aluminium Loft Ladder

Location – Southgate, London

This week we are in north London fitting a loft ladder.  We are going to replace an old, heavy ladder and replace it with a light weight aluminium ladder, ideal for basic storage access to your loft space.

We set to work removing the old loft ladder.  Time for a quick pose in front of the old ladder first, yes?

Ok Mr Fitter, now that you have done posing, can you get to work?

Time to remove the old heavy product…

Once removed, we get the new loft ladder ready for installation…

We then erect the ladder and put against the opening, ready for fixing into place.

We than fix the handrail onto the customers chosen side (the left).

Our next job is to add the final touches in the fitting of the ladder itself to the loft hatch

Once this is done, we just test that it is working correctly

Now that we are happy that the product is in excellent working order and installed well.  We do a full test from opening the hatch and taking down the ladder. This is then demonstrated to the customer.

Open the loft hatch and attach the pole to the ladder…
