Very pleased with the loft hatch received. It was made to the exact dimensions I specified. As advised on the site, you do need to allow a 5mm gap for irregularities in the space where you are inserting the hatch.

Ordered over the phone, a lot simpler than the majority transactions I have done this way. Hatch arrived earlier than stated which was a bonus! The fitting of the hatch could not have been easier. The screw holes were all pre-drilled so all I had to do was make sure I fitted it square, again this was quite easy as the frame was a lot more robust than expected. The hatch door was well insulated and soundly constructed. I wish I had known about Jupiter Blue earlier as I have probably lost quite a lot of heat through the old un-insulated hatch over the years.
