Loft hatch needs to be extended

Posted by Reginald Henderson, on
The origional loft hatch is now too small for my wife and to enter it via our loft ladder. It needs to be made longer so as to be able to enter loft

Hi Reginald widening the loft hatch definitely wouldn't breach planning regs! If the roof is made up of trusses these must never be cut as the structural integrity would be lost, if it is a traditional cut roof it is just a case of cutting ceiling joists and trimming with new sections. It should be a fairly simple job. Advertise your job in carpenters. Ed

Best you advertise job. Widening the loft hatch may breach planning and building regs
