Boarded out from hatch to boiler, permanent switched loft light, permanent loft ladder and a guard rail around the loft hatch.

I believe the rail is only when the boiler is near the hatch.

hmm, an alpha in a loft. are you going to provide the basin to put underneath or is that an optional extra?

You also need a gas shut-off outside the loft.

I believe that is not mandatory. With a shoot down ladder and a permanent light it is then just another room and does not need a isolation outside the loft. An emergency gas shut off is the maintap at the gas meter.

Can i just pick up on the "gaurd rail" around the loft opening,is this a requirement even if the boiler is no-where near the opening ie 20mts away.Also should the access ladder be fixed and perminant.
If these are not adhered to can i make a swift exit ?
