Good value but prefer the wood type a lot more work to fit and money.This morning put the tree and xmas decs back to there yearly rest and having a nice firm ladder makes it easier... http://www.diy.com/rooms/abru-timber-complete-loft-access-kit-h28m/663952_BQ.prd

No doubt an excellent price, but I am aware of someone who had a bad accident on one of these type of ladders because bolts sheared and the ladder broke, and she wasn't a large or heavy person by any means.Personally I'd only fit a stronger wooden one now, as I did for the person in question.Of course they are a lot more expensive, but then again a ladder is not something you want to take chances with.If you are going to use one of these, then firstly make sure you're well within it's weight limitations, I don't wish to sound rude to those of us (myself included) who are overweight, but bear in mind you'll be carrying a load that has some weight to it as well, so you want the total to be within it's limits.Maybe think about what the heaviest items you intend or keep in the loft are, and see if this is suitable.Whilst these type are fairly flimsy, as long as it's not overloaded, and is properly fitted, they are quite safe to use.
Someone mentioned that they were unsure of their DIY skills, or ability to fit something like this, well they're not difficult, the important thing apart from fitting it correctly and securely, is that you make sure it has enough clearance and space to retract to and pivot, otherwise it won't work at all!
I don't like them, but heat added for the price.

Looks good.

Would have thought Argos would have matched this with being the same company !

Amazon have price matched

I can also confirm easy to install, took 30mins

Although it doesnt say

Brilliant, just reserved one for store pick up.
Looks ideal for what I want, I'm only in the loft 4-5 times a year.

Is there a minimum distance required between the hatch & walls? I've had a quick look & it seems so. Trouble is, my loft access is in a corner above a doorway, so there is limited space :neutral_face:
Good price for ladder though

May be worth buying - but I'm hopeless at DIY (I can just about assemble IKEA flatpack furniture). Will this be within my skillset?
