Safe access to loft

Gavin1979 · 19 Oct 2016

As you can see from the photos the only way to access the loft is to put the ladder across the staircase, which doesn't feel safe, especially when finding a rung on exiting.

The hatch measures 65cm by 48cm.

What would be the best option for access? Would a loft ladder fit? Only way I could see that working is to have it openening down the staircase. Or does the access need widening or even moving?

Advice would be welcome

Thanks

I would create a new opening in a safer location.
