Delivered on time and made to the specification I ordered. However the loft hatch insulation (rockwool batt) is not covered therefore there is the risk that regular use of the loft hatch will start to dislodge the rockwool and we know how messy that gets. A simple piece of plastic sheet covering the rockwwol insulation would ensure that things don't get messy....

Very easy to place order for bespoke hatch, arrived on time well constructed and easy to fit

Spoke with Ben who gave great advice over the phone. I had an awkwardly sized loft hatch and rather than making it to the exact size, Ben advised a few MM off each dimension to make sure it fit, and I'm glad I took his advise, otherwise it wouldn't have fit. Build quality is very good, well insulated and looks very sleek. Highly recommended!

Wanted a new loft hatch for our house, but have a non standard fitment, so unable to buy from high street retailers. Had ordered a small access panel for work from Jupiter Blue and it was great. Not able to adjust ceiling so ordered a made to measure loft hatch from Jupiter blue waited the time as advised online and hey presto one well fitting quality hatch was delivered. Fits well, made well and looks great.

I ordered a bespoke loft hatch, and can only praise the whole experience. Excellent quality, and excellent service. Easy to fit and looks so much better than a painted wooden hatch.

I needed two different sizes for my cottage and wanted something that had quality together with looking good. These hatches fit the bill. They look unobtrusive and will undoubtedly remain that way for years.

We needed a made to measure unit as the hatch size was non standard. It arrived quickly and fitted easily - just one word of warning though. It is a two person job to hold up while fitted which can be difficult when up ladders. Not heavy just awkward.

The bespoke loft hatch i recieved was very well made and the exact measurements i gave. It was so easy to fit needs two people to start but once you have two screws in it just needs one to finish. It's a realy nice bit of kit i would recomend to anyone wich i already have and the customer service is 10 out of 10
