The hatch arrived today, so many thanks for a swift delivery. It even actually fits...........I admit I was worried that I had screwed the measurements up, but all fine. There was a bit of sanding to do as the house builder had not made the original opening exactly square, but that is life. Of course I also forgot to cut a slot for the locking latch and spent 1/2 hour trying to figure out why it would not shut fully. Old age and senility I guess. Anyway, we are very pleased with the hatch and would like to thank you for the service. It is far better than the old plastic thing the house builder supplied and now I can fit a loft ladder. regards David Vanbeck

Bought this Loft Hatch back in July only got fitting it today Friday 5th Dec and it fitted perfectly, very impressed wth the quality and also the service. I initially made a mistake with one of the measurements, but a quick e-mail with the correct dimension and Martin sorted the problem out. Delivery cost to Northern Ireland was reasonable(£24) and arrived well packaged. Very pleased.

These hatches are excellent in terms of manufactur, finish and packaging. I agree with another reviewer that the insulation material needs to be covered, whilst a plastic sheet/bag would do the job I cut a piece of hardboard and flex it into the aperture.
