Loft Ladders from Ladders UK Direct
Across the UK, there are hundreds of attics and lofts that aren’t being properly utilised. Why? Because lots of homeowners don’t have a loft ladder to help them get up there!
Here at Ladders UK Direct, we offer loft and attic staircases in a range of materials, including aluminium and wood. We can also provide complete hatch and loft ladder kits for easy installation.
Installing a loft ladder in your home will give you the following benefits:
- Improved accessibility and convenience
- Safer ascent and descent
- Access your loft / attic faster
- Make more use of your loft space
Alongside our extensive range of loft ladders and attic stairs, we offer a range of loft ladder accessories - such as exit rails to make your ascent and descent as safe and convenient as possible.
If you need help choosing the right ladder for your attic, or if you'd like to order your new loft steps over the phone, please contact Ladders UK Direct today.
Loft ladder sizes
Loft ladders come in many different sizes. Our most popular loft ladder sizes are:
- 1200mm x 700mm
- 1150mm x 550mm
- 1200mm x 600mm
- 510mm x 430mm
The above sizes use minimum opening length x minimum opening width.
There is no 'standard' loft ladder size, so you will need to select a ladder that fits your loft opening. The Dolle Hobby 1200 x 700 is our best-selling loft ladder, although this sliding 3-section loft ladder may be preferable if you're short on space and need something more compact.
Before you install your loft steps, you will need to take these measurements:
- Floor-to-floor height
- Floor-to-ceiling height
- Hatch clearance
- Loft opening width / length
- Horizontal and vertical clearance
For further details, check our Loft Ladder Measurements guide.
Our loft ladder prices range from roughly £150 to £1,000. The cost of your loft ladder will depend on which style, size and material you choose. The most budget-friendly options tend to be made of aluminium, whereas our more expensive premium loft ladders are usually made from solid wood. At the top end of the market are our loft staircases, which come with a bigger price tag because they're made of the highest-quality materials and boast stylish designs to suit your home's aesthetic.
While installing a loft ladder is a fairly simple job, you'll want to take your time and get it right, first time! Whether you choose an aluminium or a wooden loft ladder, the installation time should be no longer than 2 or 3 hours. If you need to create a loft hatch from scratch, the installation process could take considerably longer.
Yes - if properly installed, loft ladders are safe to use. Installing a permanent loft ladder in your home will generally make it safer and easier to access your loft / attic.
Here are some tips to help you stay safe while using your loft ladder:
- Before you stand on the ladder, perform a quick visual inspection to make sure it's not damaged
- Try to maintain 3 points of contact with the ladder at all times
- Don't overload your loft ladder (check the maximum load)
- Wear sensible footwear when using the ladder
- Don't allow young children to use the loft ladder unsupervised
