Folding all seem to attach to the back of the hatch, which will be a pre-made jobby w/50mm insulation, so not suitable I don't think. Concertina could work, but all look a bit crap/flimsy, and most telescopic seem to use the space behind the hatch, which I don't have. Maybe this crap diagram will explain the layout a bit better. Fixing to the wall so it extends above floor level like a normal staircase would be ideal.

Those concertina ladders are terrifying - there’s nothing to slow the extension down so if they come off the hook or you get it wrong, the whole lot comes down at speed with no regard for fingers, feet or pets. They will also roll if the angle isn't shallow enough so you end up swinging about.

Has anyone come across a loft ladder (or just a ladder) that will fix on a wall and extend down from the loft space? I'm getting the loft hatch upgraded and its going to end up quite close to the end gable. To avoid taking up floor space and give me something to climb on right up to the loft floor level of the loft it make sense to me to hang it on the wall, but I can't find anything fitting that description.
