Loft ladders upgrade in Leamington Spa makes going up to the loft a breeze

If you are looking to upgrade your loft ladder then our timber option may be for you.

A wooden loft ladder features sturdy, wide treads ideally suited for carrying heavier objects or for customers who feel more secure using it over a narrow tread.

We also fit our timber loft ladders with a hatch that is up to 1.2 metres long which means no more sqeezing through a loft opening that is uncomfortably small.

We only fit trade-quality ladders from a trusted supplier so our customers can be sure of the best quality.

We also take away any mess when enlarging a loft opening and will even paint around the new hatch so it looks as if it was always there.

We work in Leamington Spa, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding areas and can provide customer recommendations.

Timber loft ladders in Redditch offers best of both worlds

This October, we have been busy fitting timber loft ladders in Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

A timber ladder stows away easily in your loft space

The photo above is from a loft ladder installation in Sambourne, near Redditch. You can see how neatly the ladder stows away once folded.

Timber offers sturdy treads

The photo above is from a different installation of a wooden loft ladder that we also completed this month. As you can see, as well as being easy on the eye, our timber loft ladder has sturdy wide treads. This makes it perfect for people who need to carry up larger items to the loft.

In this photo, you can also see the 1 metre-wide loft opening. If your loft opening is on the smaller side, changing to a larger hatch can transform how easy it is to get up to your loft.

Timber loft ladder enables safe storage in Studley

A timber ladder, in combination with a larger loft opening, makes going up to the loft a doddle.

Timber ladders are a more expensive option than aluminium, but will provide years of reliable use. Their sturdy treads and solid construction ensure maximum stability when carrying bulky items up to storage. Our wooden loft ladder is ever popular amongst older customers who value safety over all when accessing the loft.

We fit many timber ladders to customers throughout Warwickshire and Worcestershire and can vouch for their quality.

The photo above is from a recent job for a very satisfied home owner.

Wooden Loft Ladders proving popular in Warwickshire and Worcestershire

Five years ago our customers were shying away from wooden ladders, preferring the more cost-effective aluminium option.  Recently this has changed, so that in 2019 we have been installing more wooden loft ladders than any other kind. This shift in customer choices led us to wonder,  why the change?

In uncertain times we all know that people favour staying put and investing in what they have rather than moving house. In what has been a turbulent 2019 this must surely be a factor in people committing to top of the range ladders.

Add to this the fact that homes are getting smaller, particularly when you compare the living space in new build homes today with that of previous decades.

Whatever period of house we live in, we all have so much more stuff.  Most customers who contact us want to clear their loft to create more storage space and streamline their living spaces.

For many people this concerns items that they only use at particular times of the year or equipment for occasional hobbies. Some customers like to swap over their winter and summer clothes to create wardrobe space. When it comes to carrying heavy items up to a loft people prefer the sturdiest timber ladders.

Wooden Loft Ladder in Warwickshire

This was the case at a recent installation in the Bridgetown area of Stratford-upon-Avon, where we boarded the loft of a detached 1970’s family home. At 35m2, this was a larger than average installation taking two days in place of the usual one.

Storage space at a premium in Stratford

The customer planned to  move items from both the garage and bedrooms freeing up valuable space in the home – at a premium with three children. The family enjoys camping in the summer along with all the equipment involved and planned to store items in the loft.

In order to comfortably and safely take larger items up to the loft, their preference was for a wooden ladder.

Timber loft hatch

To further ensure easy access, we enlarged the loft opening fitting a new timber hatch.

The customers were delighted and as soon as we finished were planning to spend the weekend de-cluttering and creating more space in their home.

“On average a wooden loft ladder costs £180 more than an aluminium option,” commented Stuart Dyson, owner of Stu’s Loft Ladders. “Whilst there are jobs where a lightweight aluminium or telescopic ladder are the best option, many customers, particularly those with larger loft areas, are choosing wooden. Fitting a loft ladder is something that you will most likely only do once whilst you live in a property and so people want the quality and strength of timber.”
