Easiway Storage Loft Ladder Installation

This week, we are installing an Easiway Loft Ladder into a home.

This customer wanted a loft ladder which was ideal for basic storage access. They had an existing hatch which pushed upwards into the loft and we hinged it down for them.

Let’s get to work…

 

This is the existing push up loft hatch which will need to be hinged down.

Did you know?

If we can use your existing hatch to hinge it down, this is free of charge!

We then climb into the loft and begin fixing the Easiway loft ladder into place…

 

We then start making adjustments to the loft hatch in order for it to be hinged down…

 

The loft ladder and hatch are now all fitted.

 

We then test everything is working as it should…

 

Excellent, great work.

Thanks for reading our fitting of the week.  If you are interested in having a loft ladder or roof window installed, please do not hesitate to contact us on 020 8551 5800

Easiway Loft Ladder Installation

Location – Shooters Hill, London

Hello from South East London  This week we are installing another Easiway loft ladder.  Ideal loft ladders for  basic access to your loft space.

This job was fairly straightforward as our customer already had an old aluminium loft ladder in place and a hinge down hatch door.

Our job was to safely remove the old loft ladder and replace it with a new Easiway loft ladder.  The hatch door that was already present did not need changing, we therefore kept the door in place and applied a new twist catch.

We get to work but firstly removing the old loft ladder.

 

We then get the new Easiway loft ladder ready for installation

 

After the Easiway is unpacked, we then fix it into place

 

We then open the Easiway loft ladder and test it is working well…

 

After our testing has been completed, we then make any final adjustments necessary.

 

The last job left is to create a new twist catch on the existing loft hatch door.

 

If you would like a loft ladder installed, please do not hesitate to contact us on 020 8551 5800, we would be happy to help you.

Easiway Loft Ladder Installation

Location – Ilford, Essex

Hello from Ilford, Essex.  This week we are installing another Easiway loft ladder.  Ideal loft ladders for  basic access to your loft space.

Sometimes we have to put new hatch doors on if for whatever reason, we are unable to use the door you have.  In order to save you money and with your permission we can occasionally use your current door and hinge it down, as we do on this fitting.

Let’s get to work…

 

Here is the current loft hatch opening.  The hatch door before was a simple lid which sat on top and pushed up and inside the loft.

We then get the new Easiway loft ladder ready for installation…

 

 

Once the Easiway is unpacked, we then install the loft ladder into the hatch opening.

 

Once the Easiway is fixed into place, we then prepare the existing hatch door for hinging down.

 

We then test pulling the loft ladder and hatch down.

 

Successful test! We then put the ladder away and tidy up…

Easiway Loft Ladder Installation

Location – South East London

Hello from South East London.  With Christmas fast approaching, we are fitting more and more Easiway loft ladders.  Simple, low cost, easy access to your loft space.

This customer already had their own hinged down loft hatch door, we therefore did not have to put on a new door.

We get to work…

As you can see from the images above, this valued customer already had a hinge down door.  We then unpack the Easiway loft ladder and start installing.

Here you can see Mr Fitter fixing the Easiway into place.

Once the loft ladder is fixed into place we need to test it works correctly.  Mr Fitter puts the loft ladder away and opens it up again.  See below:

Mr Fitter opens the hatch with the pole and pulls the Easiway loft ladder down to hand reach height.

The ladder is now fully open and ready to climb.

We then close the Easiway loft ladder up to check that also works correctly.

Hello from Surrey.  This week we are installing an Easiway loft ladder.  The Easiway is a basic 3 tier sliding aluminium loft ladder with a handrail and a guide bar for ease of use.  This ladder is ideal for basic storage access to the loft.

We get straight to work…

Here is the current hatch.  We removed the push up “lid” that the customer had and are going to fit a new hinge down door.

We then un pack the Easiway ladder, ready for installation into the loft hatch.

   

We then erect the Easiway and size it up to the ceiling height.

   

We then fit the handrail to the left hand side (customers request).  We can fit the handrail to any side you wish.

We then get the ladder ready for fixing to the hatch frame.

We then fix the ladder to the hatch frame.

Mr Fitter then tests the ladder out to check it works exactly as it should.

    

Ladder in good working order, we head out to the van in the sunshine and cut the hatch door to size…

  
   

Once all cut down, we head back inside and size the hatch door up against the hatch to check that it is all cut correctly.

All ok, we then fix the hatch door into place.

   

Great work, all done.  We give the customer a full demonstration…

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 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

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.

Today we are fitting the Easiway loft ladder, this product is an ideal solution for simple basic storage use/occasional use.

For this particular loft ladder, there is no need for any cutting in the ceiling, it’s a case of installing the loft ladder into your current hatch opening/hole.  Your home like most others probably has a hatch you push and to the side, for this loft ladder, we would hinge down the hatch and put a twist catch on it.

Lets get to work…

Does this situation look familiar to you? this hatch was just a simply push up lid.  Push it up and to the side to access your loft.  We will change this.

We removed the current hatch and now we will prepare the loft ladder for installation.

   

Ladder prepared Mr Fitter? “Yup…” time to install into loft hatch opening…

  

Easiway loft ladder installed into opening, lets have a look up

Good job Mr Fitter… tea break? “No we have work to do…” what a work ethic… time to put on the new hinge down hatch door.

Lets get to work…

This is probably a similar situation to what you have at home, a hatch door that you push up and put to the side.

We remove the hatch door and set it to the side because we can use it.

Now we prepare the Easiway loft ladder for installation

Quick check of the time there Mr Fitter? yes we are on time (well of course)

While we were preparing the loft ladder, something appeared at the top of the stairs!

Yummy!

Ok let’s continue preparing the loft ladder…

Now time to fix the ladder into place

Apply the handrail to the loft ladder

Ok ladder installed.  It is time to hinge down the loft hatch door.

Fantastic! lets see the loft ladder in action…

Door now hinged downwards.

   

Lovely job.  A nice aluminium loft ladder, ideal for occasional usage.  If you would like this loft ladder installed, please click here to fill out the form and we will contact you to arrange a date suitable.

Location – Norwood, London

Good afternoon from south London.  We have arrived at a lovely family home in Norwood, south London.

Today we are installing the Easiway loft ladder.  An ideal solution for basic storage use/occasional use.

For this loft ladder, there is no need for any cutting in the ceiling.  Its a case of installing the loft ladder into your current hatch opening.  Your home is probably like most others and has a hatch you push up and to the side.

For this loft ladder, we would hinge the hatch down and put a catch on it.  However this situation today is slightly different and the current opening was much larger than the average and so the hinge down door would prove difficult to operate.  Fear not, we have the answer…

…Lets get to work…

First we removed the current hatch cover and got the ladder prepared and ready.

    

We then had to ensure the loft ladder was secured to the hatch opening.

  

All secured, lets give it a little test to see if its stable.

  

All good, lets check it out stored away.

Right, ladder done.  Its time to unleash the cunning plan for a manageable hatch door.

  

Only half a door? …we are not finished yet!

Ah I see, clever clever!

Excellently done! If you would like a loft ladder installed like this one, click here to fill out the form and we will contact you to discuss your availability.
