  • Realise this is the DIY thread, is it still ok to ask questions about hiring professionals to do your DIY?

    Flat I've just bought has a potentially very useful loft space (which I actually own, unusually for leasehold) but at the moment it's neither very accessible or useable. I'm interested in having a larger hatch fitted if possible, a ladder and light installed and boards fitted. Some of that I would attempt myself, but there are companies which will do that whole thing.

    Thought I'd ask on the (probably unlikely) off chance if anyone had done something similar and had any advice?

    (I did manage to successfully stick a new coat of paint on the bedroom walls this weekend. It's a start)

    I fitted one of these as it didn't need a particularly big hatch so I could get away with enlarging the hatch without chopping through any joists http://www.ladderstore.com/loft-ladder-range/loft-ladders/alu-fix-concertina-loft-ladder-2-46-2-73-m-1.html

    Enlarging the hatch, fitting the ladder and a new cover and boarding over took about a weekend. Not too tricky
