Good to Know
> 📏 **Measure ceiling height** - ladders come in different lengths for different ceiling heights. Too long and it won't work. Too short and it's dangerous. Measure accurately. **Buying a loft ladder:** - Floor to ceiling height - Hatch opening size - Weight rating needed - Folding vs telescopic preference **Integrated hatch-ladder:** - Comes as complete unit - Easier to install - Often better insulated - Consider if replacing hatch anyway
Frequently Asked Questions about Loft ladder installation in Crediton
What type of loft ladder is best?
Depends on your ceiling height and preferences. Folding ladders are common and reliable. Telescopic save space. Concertina types are compact. We can advise based on your situation.
Will my hatch opening need modifying?
Some ladders fit standard openings. Larger ladders may need the opening enlarged. We'll check compatibility with your existing hatch.
How much weight can loft ladders take?
Most are rated 100-150kg. That's enough for a person plus carrying items. Check the rating if you're on the heavier side. We fit ladders rated for real-world use.
Do I need to buy the ladder first?
You can, or we can supply. If buying yourself, measure your ceiling height and hatch opening first. Wrong size is the most common problem.
