Quality is not cheap. If you go the other route you have a piece of plywood insulating your loft with a reasonable gap all around it. Loft doors almost always get covered with grubby handprints too. The diesel fumes collect in the loft and it gets all over the place when you get things in and out.
If you overheat in the summer, try lifting the loft hatch out. Makes for brilliant ghetto air-conditioning.
Down side with the thick loft door is it will be in the way when you're using the loft ladder.

totally agree; misjudged and bought a 3 step that is too small for this job but was/is ok for painting etc.
Might just get a 5 step for this job .. it looks do-able but then again the loft is a can of worms atm ;)
That made to measure hatch door is insulated, made with steel and about £180 for the size I require.
