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

Telesteps Loft Ladder Installation

Location – Gidea Park, Essex

This week we are installing a Telesteps telescopic loft ladder. These are fantastic products for situations where there is little to no room inside your loft to push an Easiway or Spacemaker into. The Telesteps collapse into themselves, making them extremely compact to store away.

Here is the current loft hatch opening…

We then get to work…

Firstly we have to unpack and prepare the Telesteps…

 

Once the loft ladder is unpacked, we then have to install it onto the current loft hatch opening

 

Now that the loft ladder is securely installed to the opening, we test that it is working correctly…

 

Now that the loft ladder is securely installed, we take the existing hatch door and apply new hinges and a twist catch…

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.

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…
