You've been a busy boy

It's not the fitting of a loft ladder that is the issue, it's the
rather flimsy loft hatch that needs to be modified (or potentially
replaced). Just wondered if anyone had had any success with a loft
trapdoor which defied simple modification

Hi Andrew,

I know you can get a concertina style ladder that extends to about 2.5 mtrs,
I think it's shown on one of the links, that fits between two of the main
joists and doesn't really need anything more special than hinges fitted to
keep the hatch cover from falling away from the opening. This give freedom
to hinge the cover one way and pull the ladder down from the opposite side.
It may be one to look out for.
