“I purchased this ladder to fit a small hatch (700x520mm) with limited space above. To fit this I had to convert the old hatch which hinged up into a hinged down hatch, and this was the bulk of the work. Fitting the ladder itself was very simple, requiring only 6 screws. I chose to re-enforce the end of the hatch I was mounting the ladder to with a 44x140mm decking beam securely screwed and bracketed to the loft joists, mainly because I anticipated that the weight of the ladder hanging from a bracket at one end would exert more torsion than the existing loft hatch frame could take, and the height of the ladder mounting bracket exceeded the height of the existing loft hatch frame. Stretching the springs to install them requires some strength, but is fairly easily achieved by looping some cord through the springs and pulling down to attach the lower end. Delivery was speedy, the ladder arrived complete and in good shape, the service from Ladder Store was faultless. I would definitely buy from Ladder Store again.”

“Im pleased to give feedback on the 'Telesteps 60324 Telescopic Loft Ladder for Small Hatch Sizes' because I am very happy with the purchase. The ladder is everything it should be; sturdy, easy to use and giving confidence to the user. It is simple to use, with no danger of being speared by a descending section. The hatch size here is actually fairly normal, but the roof is low. This ladder is small as it enters to roof-space and lies on top of the door. This means that there is no 'juggling' to get the ladder up and all the loft floor space can be used. The positioning allows insulation to be fitted underneath. My only critical comment is that the instructions have tiny pictures and the suggested YouTube link shows a slightly different ladder. Actually fitting the ladder is simple and a drawing/photo of the top of the fitted ladder would be useful.”

“An excellent product although the instruction booklet came for the wrong size ladder. The fixing is the same so that was not a major issue.”

“I liked the look of the ladder before I purchased, and I was not disappointed when I installed it. It looks and is very strong and hopefully it will give me long service. On the downside it is heavy even for a man and especially so for a women. A person less than, say, 5'8'' tall would struggle to raise or lower the ladder without the aid of some sort of a step. My wife (aged 65) would struggle to operate the ladder on her own - I, therefore, leave the ladder down most of the time as I can move around it easily.”

“It's very good but was not compatible with my loft hatch which has a thickness of 6 cm.”

“It was easy to fit but a lot heavier than I would have thought after watching the video on Youtube.”
