Frequently Asked Questions about Loft ladder repair in Dawlish
What loft ladder problems can you fix?
Most things - loose fixings, stiff mechanisms, broken springs, worn catches, misaligned sections. If the main structure is sound, repair is usually possible. We'll assess and advise.
My ladder doesn't unfold properly - is that fixable?
Usually yes. Often it's stiff hinges, worn catches, or lost tension in springs. These components can often be adjusted or replaced.
Is my old ladder safe or should I replace it?
We'll check and advise honestly. If it's fundamentally sound but needs maintenance, repair makes sense. If it's worn out or damaged, replacement is safer.
Can you get parts for old ladders?
Many manufacturers supply spare parts. Common issues like springs and catches are often available. Very old or obscure ladders may be harder to source parts for.
