I am shortly to get a floor hatched installed so workers can gain access to my subfloor crawl space. It is going to be installed in the floor of cupboard.
Is there anything I should know?
Are these hatches normally on hinges or do they pull off and place down again?
Should I expect something like this

Where they appear to have used the actual floor they have sawn off?
I am not expecting it to look nice as it will be under carpet in cupboard anyhow. I do want it to prevent any odours/drafs coming up from crawl space and to be easy open and close.
I am concerned about them sawing through floor joists too - I know I sound very worried...
Someone exolain please
