Hi me again!
My current loft hatch is not on hinges and requires you to lift the board/hatch into the loft.
I just bought a loft ladder and didn't think that I would actually need to convert my hatch into one that swings down on hinges. I actually asked the guy that I bought it from if I'd have to adapt the hatch and he said no. Of course that would mean getting another ladder out to open the hatch then pull the loft ladder down which would defeat the purpose
My question is whether I could buy a loft hatch on hinges in wood (the only ones I've seen are PVU and they look quite naff in the pictures (I could be wrong) or if I could convert my existing one. The other question is if I could do this myself (I'm a 26 year old female and ok at diy stuff) or if I'd be better to get someone in to do it.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks!
Claire
