Review: Good sturdy loft ladder, especially useful in smaller than usual access hatches - A well-made, sturdy and easy to use and install loft ladder, with a small enough footprint within the loft to fit in our difficult entry hatch. Very easy to use, and a lot stronger than I expected. Buy a small aerosol can of silicon lubricant spray to keep everything working easily - you will probably only need to use it two or three times a year. Measure carefully before you buy - all the necessary dimensions are clearly shown in the advert - to ensure you buy the right size of ladder. The only thing I felt could be improved is the telescopic pole supplied to unlatch the hatch and pull the ladder down has a shiny plastic tip on it to push the hatch up. This is very slippery and you have to make sure it's absolutely straight before pushing or it just slides off and could cause damage. I got over it by getting a screw cap off a milk bottle, drilling a hole in it and screwing to the attic hatch just where I need to apply pressure so the pole cannot slip around. A better way of dealing with this would be if the manufacturer used a soft rubber tip, similar to those used on walking sticks, for the pole instead of a shiny plastic one. This is such a tiny problem though, that I wouldn't detract from my 5-star rating because of it. A super piece of kit. Update: I've now had the ladder installed for about 3 1/2 years and it's still going well, showing no signs of weakness or wear at all. Well worth 5 stars still
Review: Very sturdy ladder - Sure, this product is a bit more expensive than your average ladder, but you do get a quality product that is very easy to install.. No regret, but will mention that the steps on this ladder is super uncomfortable if you go up it with only socks on (which I suspect most people will), I wish they would design the actual steps in a way that didnt hurt so much.. Not a big deal, but I complain every time I go up/down the ladder.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This says it needs 23cm clearance in the loft, please can someone confirm that when you push up to release it doesn't go over this.  Thank you**
A: No. The design incorporates two links, one on either side. The top of each link is attaced to the top of the ladder. The other end swivels where it attaches to the loft. As you stow the ladder the link arches back (so allow for the arch) and the ladder stows above the downward hinged loft hatch.Problems that I have are: ladder failed to retract properly and needed exchanged; difficult to insulate loft hatch since ladder stows into the space above the hatch; not all of the dimensions of the ladder provided by manufacturer so difficult to design detailed installation taking account go height of ceiling and thickness of ceiling including insulation and determining exactly where the ladder would land on a fairly compact landing.Hope that this helps.

**Q: My loft entrance is  W50cm x 70cm will this fit?**
A: my ladder dimensions are  W 44cm  and  when in up position overhangs the loft opening by  59cm  so this should fit your loft opening of
W 50cm x 70cm

**Q: Compared to a normal aluminium sliding 2-section ladder, is this telescoping one really preferable?**
A: This is an old question, but deserving of an answer - way back in the early 90s my dad had his loft boarded out and got the standard 3 part aluminium ladder for it. 

It was awful to use felt rickety and because of the 3 sections slid out so rapidly that fingers were at risk. But at that time there was nothing else. 

My last house had big enough bedrooms for a full conversion with stairs. 

Ive moved and this ladder is easy to fit, i am the wrong side of 50, it slides down slowly and is far more solid as you use it than the aluminium 3 or 2 part ones. 

It is inevitable there will be a trade off with more weight because its design is more sturdy.

**Q: My loft entrance is 58cm wide by 56cm will this fit?**
A: I would say that because the ladder drops down in the entrance but stores in the loft space where it needs room (measurement given by Youngman is 2.6m from floor to floor e.g. loft space floor level and not floor to ceiling as most might think. Because of he way the ladder is fitted you will need more room on the climb side than 58cm or 56cm. I had the same loft opening size that you have but now have 58cm (W) x 72cm (L) and the ladder stores at one end of the L opening, and I fitted a new drop down hatch that is hinged on the same end that the ladder stores. In my view you will need a bigger opening that is a small job if your joists run aligns with the L then you can just move a noggin back 14cm to 16cm to give a 72cm l opening. If you leave the opening at the size you have it may constrict your getting into the loft whilst carrying stuff (am a big chap so that was important to me).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great ladder but a few minor niggles.
*by P***P on 2 May 2017*

What I like about this ladder: 1. Sturdy construction 2. Relative ease of installation 3. Small footprint when stowed away 4. Nice telescopic action What I dislike: 1. Packaging was inadequate so the ladder was scuffed on arrival, caused by parts bashing again the ladder. Not a deal breaker as it is not seen most of the time, but seems a shame to damage the exposed sections for want of a bit of extra padding in the box. 2. The nuts on the top of the ladder where the bolts from the bracket attach both fell into the hollow telescopic tubes. It was a real struggle to locate them back in place so the ladder could be bolted to the bracket. They need to be more securely seated. 3. In operation, it is a bit of a struggle to latch the ladder onto the support bracket when folding away. The rungs all collapse nicely except the last one and I have to jiggle the ladder about before it collapses allowing me to hook it on the support bracket. Interestingly there was a a woven braid included which was not on the part list and not mentioned in the instruction book. Turns out this can be used to pull the ladder down and control it swinging back up for storage, but you need to attach it during assembly, so too late for me. I am not inclined to disassemble given that a hook is included (and that is mentioned!!). You also need a drop down loft hatch as there is not enough clearance once the ladder is stowed for a lift and remove type, so I had to replace my loft hatch. Most of the ladder sits above the loft hatch when stowed.
