Jupiter Blue has been great to deal with. They answered questions promptly and efficiently. Definitely knew their stuff. The hatch came within the time frame given . It was well packaged and although we needed to make some slight alterations to the opening, it fits and looks good.

Ordered made to measure loft hatch , if arrived early and fitted perfectly , great service .
-
Ordered a new insulated hatch to replace an old wooden one. It was harder to remove the old one than it was to fit the new. Fitted just right and tightens into place with just a few screws. Easy!
-

Very pleased with whole process, a quality product well packaged and exactly as ordered. Replace an old loft hatch which I removed first then new hatch fitted just right.

Arrived on time, well packaged. Made to exact measurements. Really easy to fit, it’s probably a two person job to be safe but I managed it on my own and my hatch was really quite large. The finish is excellent, looks really good. I’m very pleased with the purchase and consider it to be really great value for money. Put some pics on my Facebook of the finished job and already passed on a few recommendations. Would 100% recommend and would use again.
