Read Our COVID-19 Update

Covid-19 cases in the UK are expected to escalate rapidly.

From now, we are asking our staff to:

  • Continue with good hygiene, including washing hands with soap and hot water regularly.
  • Sanitise their desk/work area, door handles, phones, steering wheels & driving controls, etc., daily using the bleach spray and paper roll provided.
  • Limit close contact with others as far as possible, considering carefully your actions outside of work too.

If they develop ANY of the well-publicised symptoms of infection (a NEW dry cough or a temperature) they should not attend work under any circumstances.

If they believe they are at greater risk of infection or have underlying health issues meaning they could be disproportionately affected, they should inform management immediately.

Orders, quotes and deliveries can still be arranged at this time, but we appreciate their may be some reluctance to as the situation develops. Our team will be following appropriate guidelines to ensure the health and well-being of our customers, but please let us know if you have any special requests and we will do our best to accommodate.

We should prepare imminently for changing our working practices to reduce physical proximity (social distancing). This could mean changes to working hours and using our workspaces differently.

We very much appreciate everyone’s co-operation during what is expected to be a challenging time over the weeks ahead.

And like all challenging times, it will pass.

Happy Customers

Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Trader reviews

Superb all-round service. The two workmen quoted for the work one evening and we arranged for the work to be completed two weeks later. The loft-zone system has enabled us to add a loft to our new-build without invalidating the NHBC warranty. Masses of storage space now and so much better. Would highly recommend the company for your loft/loft ladder requirements.

The team arrived on time, quickly evaluated the job and immediately set to work. The work was done quickly and completed satisfactorily. One issue at the end regarding the loft ladder was remedied after agreeing a compromise.

2 lovely young chaps came to install our loft boarding and ladder! Clean, tidy, very polite and so quick resulting in an excellent job at a very reasonable price too . Finish product looks great and gave us a clear run through on how to properly use the loft ladder. Would 100% use again if we were to move!
