Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do I Need Planning Permission?
A. Not to fit an access ladder to your loft space.

Q. Are the Fire Escape Ladders approved by the Fire Brigade?
A. Yes, the Fire Service recommend that you have an escape plan which, in the event of a fire, a Fire Escape Ladder would enable you to safely exit an upper floor room via a window.

Q. I'm not sure the loft hatch will be big enough to accommodate a ladder. Would you be able to make the access hatch larger?
A. In most cases yes. Step Up Loft Ladders always carry out a survey before recommending what work would need to be done and give an idea of cost.

Q. How much is a survey?
A. Absolutely free and you are under no obligation to buy.

Q. I would like to have my loft boarded out so that I don't have to walk on the joists. Can you do this for me?
A. Yes of course subject to survey.

Q. What do you use to board out a loft?
A. 18mm tongue & groove chipboard, which we drill and screw in place.
