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…

The telescopic loft ladder is ideal for lofts with little clearance.  This loft ladder is robust and high in quality.

This week, this customer in lovely St John’s Wood, wanted us to remove their old 3 piece aluminium loft ladder and replace it with the Telesteps, telescopic loft ladder.

The telescopic loft ladder is ideal for solutions with little clearance.  The product, is robust and high quality and takes up little space inside the loft.

Lets get to work…

This week we were supposed to install an Easiway loft ladder, but unfortunately, and it does happen from time to time, this customer did not have the clearance space inside the loft.

We recommended the Telesteps, telescopic loft ladder.  This loft ladder is ideal for solutions with little clearance.  The product, is robust and high quality and takes up little space inside the loft.  The customer agreed to have the work done…

Lets get to work…

Here is the current loft hatch.  We know already that we will need to put a new one on, this will be the last job.

The fitter examines the hatch carefully (to be honest I am not sure what he is examining either)

Right… to work!

We remove the loft hatch and set about getting the telescopic loft ladder ready for installation.
