Nice one David. Good to see a straight forward and to point video, which I know is going to be very useful to people.

Nice film mate.

I loved that.. thank you so much.. that's my next job...

Nice video... straight to the point with details. I could help but laugh though as I had the benny hill music playing in my head when you speeded up and started hammering lol. 😉

Very helpful David, thanks for sharing.

Very helpful. Thank u

Thanks for the informative video! Whoever built my house 40 odd years ago decided to put the attic hatch in one of the bedroom closets (built-in, USA syle). Sure, it's neatly tucked away, but you have to empty out the closet and squeeze your ladder, your tools, and yourself past the shelf and hanging rod. Was hoping to relocate it out into the hallway for easier access, but wasn't sure what all would be involved or if I could manage it by myself. By the by, my roof is just about as shallow as yours since it's a "hip" roof (pyramid shaped).

Yes David

Very good, thank you 😎

As a self-employed joiner I've been earning my living over the past 18yrs doing a lot of loft conversions and in all that time I can honestly say I've never come across a loft as shallow as yours Dave. Nice job again as we have come to expect from you, pity you can't use the loft space as a room . The lathe and plaster ceilings in older houses are a nightmare to cut into the muck and dust is horrendous. Nice neat job mate what's next I wonder?

Thanks for the informative video. At 13:15 did you cut the hole too big by accident or was there some reason for that? When you said at the end 'very easy, very quick to install' I was thinking about the replastering part you missed out. A concertina loft ladder should fit up there even if there is hardly any room

that loft is small, but our is tighter. even a kid can barely crawl in it.

Really helpful video thanks David. This might be obvious from each hatch, but are they screwed into the joists on all four sides or just both sides (on the 'permanent' joists rather than the added braces needed to support the hole)?

Helpful video, did you do a video on how to install the light and switch??

Did you have to support the joist before cutting it out? I always thought you had to brace it by fixing a length of timber across three joist in order to keep it from dropping before putting the bridle in? I am looking to do this in my own house soon and trying to gather some info in it. Cheers 👍🏼

1920 with metal vertical joist hanger was the roof rebuilt?

Can you link the product

Hello. Im fitting a loft hatch now for the first time. My instructions tell me to cut the hole 2.4cm bigger than the loft frame dimensions. Why is this ?

3:37-3:55 You should give your noisy todler a tenner and send him the betting office for an hour, I do it for mine. Keeps them entertained. Just make sure they don't sneak off to the pub instead, mine like to do that and come back rotten-drunk throwing up everywhere and crying like its not their own soft fault for being a lightweight and not being able to handle their drink.
