Location – Hainault, Essex

This week, we are back in Essex to install a telescopic loft ladder. This valued customer chose this ladder as they did not want to enlarge their hatch, however they wanted a product which was built to be used on an often basis.

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

Lets get to work…

Here is the current loft hatch
