Summary: How to use your loft safely for storage safelyrnrn


Plenty of light in loft

The Loft Shop is the UK’s number 1 specialist in the provision of loft products. So whether you are considering converting a loft into a storage area, or are going for a full loft conversion The Loft Shop is the place to go.

More and more now people are looking to move up rather than out. Often, maybe due to financial restraints and other reasons people find that there is no need to go for a full loft conversion. In these cases, loft areas can be converted into loft rooms, or storage areas. The Loft Shop provides all the products you might associate with carrying out this work, and you will find all our products are high quality, at a competitive price with FREE next day delivery.

At www.loftshop.co.uk you will also find a list of builders, loft ladder installers, loft converters and many other professions related to the loft, so no matter what area of the country you are in, you will be able to find a reputable builder in your area to help you carry out work in your loft.

The first step in gaining access to your loft is to install a loft ladder. This can be done quite simply, and very inexpensively. You will no longer feel the need to go into the shed and get that rickety old ladder out, lug it up the stairs, only to risk breaking your neck! Our ladder range starts at £87, and you can even have one supplied and fitted in your home for just £99.99!, just check out our fitting service

Loft Shop Loft Ladders    Aluminium ladders

If you are looking to tackle the installation of the loft ladder yourself it can be done very easily, and all Loft Shop ladders come with fitting instructions.

Once you have gained access to the loft for your storage, the next stage is to introduce some light. The most simple and effective way of doing this is to install a roof window. Roof windows are also a very handy escape route in the event of a fire in the property and The loft shop can provide all appropriate accessories for your means of escape from the roof.

Insulation of your storage area is a great idea and insulation can be bought at The Loft Shop also.

The Loft Shop provides roof windows at extremely competitive prices. Several different styles of Colt Roto roof windows are available providing unrivalled speed of installation, guaranteed stock availability, and FREE next day delivery. All Loft Shops roof windows come with installation guides, so their installation can really be a straightforward piece of DIY. You will be amazed how much light this will introduce into your attic space, and this is where the magic begins. All those boxes and bits of unused furniture can now be safely stored away.

Escape windows    Easy access for cleaning window

 It is sometimes useful to install some loft boarding. Again the Loft Shop can help with this, simply go onto our loft shop partners page and find a reputable builder who is prepared to help you out.

There is generally no need for planning permission when contemplating adding a roof window, or installing a ladder, insulation and floor for using your loft for storage, so this really is the quickest and easiest way to making good use of your loft. Once you have taken the first steps to do this you might realise the potential to go ahead with a full loft conversion!
