Loft Ladders

Loft ladders for every ceiling height and hatch size — timber folding, aluminium concertina, sliding vertical, and electric models, including fire-rated and insulated hatch options.

Before buying, measure your floor-to-ceiling height — the full distance from floor to ceiling, not just floor to hatch opening. Most standard loft ladders cover ceiling heights from 2.2m to 3.0m; heavy-duty models extend to 3.5m. Hatch opening size is the second measurement you need: standard openings run from 550mm x 700mm up to 700mm x 1200mm for larger access points. If you need a handrail, check that the model includes one as standard — the Werner Easy Stow, Youngman Eco S-Line, and Stira Folding ranges all include integrated handrails and are covered in our loft ladder selection guide.

Fire rating applies if your loft is a habitable room or Building Regulations cover your installation. Our 30-minute and 60-minute fire-rated loft ladders comply with BS 476 and include the fire-rated hatch as part of the kit, so there’s no separate component to source.
