Installing a Safety Fence / Hand Rail in Smethwick

/ Empire Lofts/

This house had a very tall ceiling which meant that the loft ladder we installed didn't have much rail left at the top to hold onto when getting into and out of the loft. We custom built them a hand rail / fence around the hatch opening to provide a fixed point to hold.

We installed this in a terrace house on Bowden Road, Birmingham, B67

In a 3 bed a 1990's period semi-detached house on Beech Farm Croft, Northfields, Birmingham.

Fitting a Custom Built Wooden Hatch and 3 Section Aluminium Loft Ladder in Bourneville

/ Empire Lofts/

Here is a great example of:

In a 3 bed a 1980's period house.

This job is a good example of extending out the existing loft hatch hole in order to fitting a larger hatch to accommodate a loft ladder. The couple wanted this ladder installed because there boiler was in the loft and from experience they new that there energy supplier will not service there boiler unless there is a fix point loft ladder and loft floor boards leading to the boiler. This is for health and safely reasons. The original hatch was only 65cm/55cm which is a perfectly decent width but not an ideal length. We Custom built and fitted a hatch extending the length to 80cm making there new hatch 80cm/65cm. Perfect for a ladder leaving penalty of room for a person to climb up though with suitcases or tools.

Boarding Out Loft, Adding a Balustrade Rail and Fitting Loft Ladder in Selly Oak

/ Empire Lofts/

Here is a great example of:

  • Boarding out a loft with 18mm P5 moisture resistant tongue & groove boards.

  • Boarding out using loft legs.

  • Adding safety balustrade rail

  • fitting 3 section aluminium loft ladder

  • fitting upvc hatch

In a new build, 2 bed, terrace house.

This job was a great example of the use of loft legs. Because the house was a new build with 270mm of insulation we put forward the idea of the loft leg system to board out a section of his loft. These loft legs allow you to board out a loft with minimal disturbance to the insulation. This is done by fixing down light weight plastic stilt legs to create a raise platform above the insulation. The owner also wanted a balustrade rail added as a safety feature.

Bespoke Hatch and Loft Ladder Fitted in Tamworth, Birmingham

/ Empire Lofts/

Here is a great example of:

  • fitting a custom hatch in between narrow joists

  • extending hatch aperture to gain better access

  • longer hatch to accommodate ladder

  • fitting a 3 stage aluminium loft ladder 

In a 1980's, 3 bed, semi-detached house on Hornbeam Road, Tamworth, Birmingham.

The owner of this property had a truss roof and did not want to cut out and brace the ceiling timbers. Instead they wanted a custom hatch built to fit in between. Because the joists were only 460mm apart there was not much room to get up though the hatch into the loft with suitcases. For this reason they asked for the hatch to be extended in length to accommodate them and a suitcase when climbing up though the hatch. We built them a custom hatch 460mm/1000mm and dissolved the architrave into the wall in order maximise the available width.

Loft Ladder in Coleshill, Birmingham

/ Empire Lofts/

Here is a great example of:

  • Enlarging a loft aperture, 

  • Installing a larger, custom built loft hatch,

  • Installing a 3 stage loft ladder

In a 1990's, 3 bed, detached house in Kendal Avenue, Coleshill, Birmingham.

This was a straight forward job of pushing back a cross beam (noggin) to square up the aperture. This was done in order to make the loft hatch wider so I could accommodate a 3 stage loft ladder at 90 degrees to the stairs. It's really important to widen out the hatch to allow yourself plenty of room for you and your belongings to easily fit though the loft opening- safely and securely.

  • Raising the floor level to accommodate water pipes

  • Raising loft floor level 200mm to accommodate insulation

We also removed the tongue and groove system from every third board for quick access to any part of there loft, instead of having to pick up the entire floor in the case of an emergency which require access to the pipes. All of our boards are screwed down into place to ensure they are easy to bring back up again if needs be
