well made, good easy fit. prompt service and delivery

Genuinely happy with hatch. Good quality, good service. The reason for 3 stars is that I paid extra for the insulation cover and it is a poor fit around the catch and will tear easily
-
Well made and really easy to install. I’d highly recommend it, it’s far tidier looking than the tatty old wooden hatch we had before.

Easy to order, delivered on time, and fitted perfectly.

Ordered this product after helping my son fit his Jupiter Blue Loft Hatch. Delivered after about 10 days, took half an hour to fit the hatch. We're both really pleased with our loft hatches, they have clean lines, a good sturdy lock, good insulation & a good finish to them. Really happy, worth the money! All Good!

Excellent product fitted perfectly. Bit of a struggle for two pensioners to fit. Held it temporarily in position by using a couple of nails through the screw holes first then fitted screws. We did it. Perfect thank you.
