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.
