A jigsaw would just about hack it, but I would go with the angle
grinder. To contain any sparks hang old curtains or bed sheets which
have been damped around the area. Get someone to watch for possible
signs of fire, you can't do both and have an extinguisher to hand
ready.

What about bolt cutters or similar to completely avoid the risk of hot
metal or sparks in the loft.
