Carpentry- 7 Apr 2025
Ken was hopeless at fitting the doors he'd made They were needed to close a cupboard under my stairs He came and fitted a framework around the inside of the cupboard opening. The framework was so thick it stopped me me taking out either of the two appliances that were inside When I realised that he'd done this he told me that I hadn't told him that I would want to take then out. I explained that I had to so that I could service or repair them. There were also other items behind the appliances which I no longer had access to. He suggested moving one of the appliances to one side but when I said there was no room to do this he rang off. I then spent most of the next day removing the framework and refitting the hinges. This is something that a decent workman would have done, He clearly accepted no responsibility for the appalling error in his planning and I would advise any potential customer to steer clear of him

Carpentry- 1 Mar 2025
I needed to upgrade my interior front door to meet new British Fire Standards - fitting a fire door strip (an intumescent strip combined with a cold smoke seal into the top and both sides of the door or frame) and a self-closer. Jack was by far the most knowledgeable of those who quoted for the work about the required fire standards- I understand he inspects doors for a London council. He completed the work to a very high standard, was reasonably priced and a pleasure to deal with.

Very pleased with the extension carried out. Fair pricing on the quotation, especially in todays climate.

We love our new space and cant thank them enough for all their hard work and the wonderful addition to our house. I would recommend Vision Build to everyone.

We couldn't be happier with the work Mick and his team delivered did from Renew and Restore. They took on a major renovation for us—full replumb, gas, and plastering and general refurbishment of the whole house and the results are brilliant. Mick is great to work with; he’s straightforward, pragmatic, and always finds a way to make things work. It’s rare to find a team this capable that also maintains such a high standard of finish. Highly recommended!

Plastering- 15 Apr 2024
We hired Dean for plastering and tiling our bathroom. Dean came out to review what was required and provided a break down quote quickly. His prices were fair and we appreciated that he was honest in what could and couldn't be done. Throughout the job he was clear on what times and days he could work and was always on time. He cleaned up after himself and never left a mess. The plastering work completed was done quickly and to a high standard, especially impressive when there was a large hole in the bathroom wall from the plaster blowing. We also hired Dean to complete the tiling of metro tiles for us, again the work was completed to a high standard and we are really pleased with the results. The wall (as with all Portsmouth houses) isn't level or straight! We trusted Dean to be left in the house alone and would definitely hire him again.

Martin was recommended to me by a friend to custom build a radiator cover. He was reliable and professional and completed the job efficiently. The amount of detail he put into the radiator cover was excellent and when finished he was extremely tidy. Overall experience was great and was very fairly priced. Would recommend Martin to anyone.

Rating: 5 out of 5
After 18 years of working for local authorities and companies, I took the leap 4 years ago, and became self employed. It has had it's moments, but it's also allowed me to learn, and be creative, to work with customers to achieve what they would like, not doing standard work, to a lower quality in order to meet dead lines. I cover all aspects of internal and external carpentry including • Kitchens • Doors • Floors • PVC installation and repairs • Fencing • Decking And everything in between. Bespoke work such as media walls, under stairs storage solutions, and fitted wardrobes are popular at the moment, so have a look on FB for RJL Carpentry to see recently completed jobs, and other work carried out. Get in touch to discuss any ideas or projects you have in mind, or country music and rock / metal 😁

Types of loft ladders offered by installers near you

When you hire a loft ladder fitter, they will help you to choose and install the right option for your home. This can depend on your ceiling height, landing space, and how often you plan to use the loft.

Your loft ladder fitter can provide several options, including:

Aluminium loft ladders: A lightweight, cost-effective choice for occasional use. They usually slide down in sections and easily push back up.
Timber loft ladders: Solid and sturdy, they often fold out and come with an insulated hatch.
Telescopic ladders: Ideal for tight landings and hatches, as they collapse down neatly to save space.
Hatch enlargement: If your current loft opening is too small or awkward, ladder fitters can cut and frame a wider hatch to fit your new ladder.

Whatever type of access you need, finding the right loft ladder installer is simple. Just post your job on MyBuilder with any questions you may have. Then, loft ladder fitters who are available and interested will get in touch.

How much does loft ladder installation cost?

A loft ladder is often seen as a small investment to open up an entirely new space in your home. The final price can depend on the type of ladder you go for, as well as if you need any extra changes to your hatch or ceiling.

Generally speaking, you can expect to pay anywhere from £150 to £600 for professional loft ladder installation. See all the details in this loft ladder installation cost guide.

Take a look at the average cost for different loft ladder services:

Standard aluminium sliding ladder (supply and fit): £150 to £250
Telescopic loft ladder (supply and fit): £250 to £450
Timber folding ladder with new insulated hatch: £350 to £600
Hatch enlargement or relocation: £150 to £300

What to ask loft ladder fitters before hiring?

Finding the right person to fit your loft ladder is much easier when you know what to ask. When looking for loft ladder professionals, ask these simple questions:

Will you supply the ladder, or do I need to buy one?

Some tradespeople prefer to supply the ladder themselves, while others are happy to fit one you've already bought. It is best to clarify this early so you don't end up paying twice or buying the wrong size.

Have you fitted this specific type of loft ladder before?

While most loft ladders seem similar, installing a heavy timber folding ladder requires different skills than fitting a simple aluminium slider. Asking to see examples of their previous work with your chosen ladder type gives you peace of mind. A tradesperson will usually provide images of their previous jobs on MyBuilder.

Does my current loft hatch need changing?

If your hatch is too small, in an awkward spot, or opens the wrong way, it will need modifying to fit the new loft ladder. Knowing if your hatch needs changing will help you understand if the job takes longer and costs more.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Before anyone starts work in your home, confirm that your loft ladder installer holds valid public liability insurance.

This confirms that if something goes wrong, whether that's accidental damage to your ceiling or an injury on the job, you know you are covered. Ask to see proof of their cover before work begins, it takes seconds to check and could save you significant costs later.

Will you provide a full, written quote before starting?

It is always best to get a quote in writing rather than relying on a verbal estimate. This document should clearly break down the costs for materials, labour, and any extra work like hatch modifications.

Is waste removal included in your service?

If they are cutting into your ceiling to enlarge the hatch, there will be plasterboard and timber waste left behind. Make sure they plan to clear this away so you aren't left with a mess to clean up.

FAQs: Common questions about loft ladder installation

Do I need planning permission for a loft ladder?

You generally won't need planning permission just to have a loft ladder installed inside your home. However, if you live in a listed building or a strict conservation area, it is always best to check with your local council first. Otherwise, this type of internal work falls under permitted development.

How long do loft ladder fitters take to finish the job?

A straightforward ladder swap usually takes a professional just two to three hours to complete. If the loft ladder fitters need to cut into your ceiling to enlarge or move the hatch, you should expect the work to take a full day.

Can tradespeople fit a ladder to my existing loft hatch?

If your current hatch drops downwards and is large enough, most installers can easily attach a standard aluminium ladder to it. However, many older homes have small, push-up hatches that will need to be enlarged and replaced with a drop-down door to work safely.

If you are unsure what your hatch needs, post your job on MyBuilder and local fitters can assess the situation and advise before quoting.

Do I need to clear the space before my loft ladder installer arrives?

Yes, you should make sure the landing area directly under the hatch is completely clear of furniture and trip hazards. Your chosen tradesperson will need plenty of room to set up their step ladders, safely handle the new hatch materials, and test the folding mechanism.

Can installers fit a ladder in a tight landing space?

Yes, if your upstairs landing is very narrow, a professional can recommend space-saving options like a telescopic ladder.

These models collapse straight down into themselves rather than folding out, making them perfect for homes with limited clearance. A local tradesperson can measure your space and advise on the most practical fit.
