Loft Hatch, 04 December 2009
By DPL81 from Croesyceiliog, Torfaen
Good Quality: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5
Value for money: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Pros: looks very neat
Cons: a little flimsy before installation

"On purchasing this loft hatch via the website with standard delivery, it arrived promptly and well packaged.

Although a little flimsy out of the box, it was easy to install and looks very good in-situ. It has made a noticable difference to the warmth in my hall, and the built in insulation panel is to thank.

Overall, I am very pleased.

Perfect Just The Job, 07 October 2009
By easydiy from Bedfordshire
Good Quality: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5
Value for money: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Pros: fairly easy to install., easy to clean
Cons: looks a little frlimsy

"Ordered this online and received within a few days, very quick delivery. Extremely easy to install, you just have to make sure you leave about 2mm extra for the frame so long as it is not too tight a fit, the reason I say this is I did not have a standard size loft hatch so I had to widen my loft hatch and cut some of the plaster for it too fit, if you do this make sure the frame is not twisted and leave enough room otherwise when you close the hatch it will not line up onto the frame I did have a little bit of ajusting to do on my hatch but on more modern houses the hatch should not have to be modified as the size should be a standard size for the hatch so it should go straight in with no problems. It looks very nice once up and has a good draft seal to keep any heat escaping through it, overall very happy and very good value.*****"

Good value, 25 September 2009
By Kenny2 from West Scotland
Good Quality: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5
Value for money: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Pros: much simpler and quicker than building your own.
Cons: less insulation than levels specified for attics.

"Neat and tidy access door. Simple to fit and easy to use. Quick easy solution that is good value for the money spent. Minimal amount of insulation built in but could be overlaid by extra slab or quilt insulation if felt necessary."
