Loft ladders near me – questions to ask
When you’re trying to choose between local loft ladder installers, it can be helpful to ask them a few specific questions – so that you can be confident that you’re hiring the right tradesperson for the job.
Here are some of the questions we recommend you ask when you’re trying to find tradespeople to install loft ladders near you
Can I see any of your examples of loft ladders fitted near me?
Seeing examples of the previous loft ladder installation projects that they’ve worked on will show you the style and quality of their work.
Even better, if they have happy customers in your area they may be able to show you some of their loft ladders in person.
Do you have insurance for loft hatch installation near me?
Whatever home improvement project you’re planning, it’s important to work with tradespeople who have the appropriate insurance to cover their work – just in case anything goes wrong.
That’s why we make it mandatory for all Checkatrade members to have up-to-date public liability insurance to be listed in our directory.
What’s your availability and when can you do the work?
The best loft ladder installers will often get booked up in advance, so it’s always helpful to plan ahead as much as you can. The earlier you book them in, the better.
It’s also a good idea to ask them how long they think it will take them to carry out the work – especially if the loft ladder installation is going to be a tricky job due to restricted access or if your home has an unusual layout.
How much do you charge for loft ladders and boarding near me?
When considering local loft ladder installers, It’s always important to find out how much they charge for their work, so that you can compare them with other tradespeople in your area.
And, as part of the quoting process, make sure they detail exactly what is included in their price – such as labour, materials, equipment and waste removal.
As a rough guide, you can expect the cost of installing a loft ladder into an existing hatch to be around £287.50. If you need to install a hatch, as well as installing the loft ladder itself, the price will be somewhere in the region of £427.50.
