I almost feel confident to do that by myself but am still gonna have a friend who knows more about these things than I. Mostly to have him there to catch me before I make the mistake I don’t want to make.

[@jimbrechin1089]

Thinking of doing this to my loft. Is there a way to get some insulation on that set up or do you just have to put on draught excluders?

[@homeimprovements]

It has a fully insulated lid and is airtight 😊😊

[@mattysea7163]

Great sound quality

[@homeimprovements]

We’ve since fixed the issue that’s our bad we are learning 😊

[@piata_centrala]

How much is cost ti fit ladder like this with same circumstances with ceiling and ild hatch

[@MattRozier1]

Hey fellas what size wood and screws did you use to make the new loft hatch frame?

[@homeimprovements]

We matched the existing ceiling joists 😊😊😊

[@lee5150]

Don't forget to measure BOTH ladder rails and cut to suit! Sloping floors are a thing!

[@wediactis]

Didnt show how to clean up edge of trap door when up😊

[@user-re5tz3fd6i]

Hey lads can I ask you how does the loft hatch cover lock and unlock

[@homeimprovements]

There’s a bar that turns a latch inside the cover 😊

[@impamiizgraa]

Hmmm I was thinking I could do this until you got talking about packers and lost me entirely. Would've been great to video the packers thing. Still excellent nonetheless, I think if I can at least make the hole in the roof and reinforce, I'll be able to spend less on the carpenter to install the rest for me!

[@user-jv7zh1hc3f]

What loft ladder and hatch was this lads?

[@homeimprovements]

Fakro mate 😁💪🏼💪🏼

[@rhysellis9388]
