Well made, delivery as promised and easy to fit.

Very good service purchasing a made to measure loft hatch with clear instructions for measuring to get the best fit. The product is very good quality and looks perfect in place. Whilst the hatch arrived a day earlier than expected, the only issue was being asked to pay £36 for delivery from North Yorkshire to a city in mainland Scotland when the company advertises free delivery to "most of the UK"

The Loft Hatch arrived as ordered and on time. It fitted exactly and I am very pleased with it although I think it was quite expensive for what it is.

Quick supply and delivery. Good quality product. Easily fitted.

Very easy to fit but definitely not something to tackle single handed and make sure you have some packers/spacers to hand in a variety of sizes, which you can get from Screwfix or Toolstation. It would be good if there was an option to buy a long pole with the correct end fitting. I designed and 3D printed a key to fit to the "non ladder" end of our existing pole but this isn't an option for everyone. I'm very happy with the end result as it looks very smart and the insulation is top notch.
