Are you thinking of investing in a space-saving staircase for your home? If so you may be wondering whether you can install it yourself. The good news is that space-saving staircases from Loft Centre are compact, and, with the right tools, you can get your new staircase up and in use with relative ease. A space-saving staircase can be the ideal solution for those who have a narrower landing in their home. If you want to be able to access your loft space frequently, a robust and safe staircase is the ideal choice. You may also wish to consider looking at a loft ladder if you don’t need to access the space on a more permanent basis as this can be folded away to ensure that you maximise the space in your home.
Installing A Space-saving Staircase - Things to Consider
Fitting a space-saving staircase can be a straightforward job providing you have the tools and knowledge to do this yourself. However, you may need to widen your loft access, which would require cutting through the ceiling, and this should only be done as a DIY job if you have precise knowledge of how to do so safely.
Safety is paramount with any DIY job, and if you are feeling at all uncertain about our capacity to complete the job well, it’s best to leave this to the professionals. While you might save money installing your staircase yourself, if you end up damaging your home or hurting yourself in the process, it won’t be worth it!
Instructions on how to assemble your loft staircase can be found in the ‘downloads’ section on the chosen product page. In most cases, we recommend hiring a professional as this can give you peace of mind that the end result will be compliant, safe, and secure. Hiring a professional also means that the work is guaranteed, so if anything does go wrong, you can call someone back out to remedy this.
If you do want to try installing a space-saving staircase yourself, make sure that you have everything you need before you get started, and have familiarised yourself with the process first. It’s also a good idea to tackle any big DIY job with another person on hand to help you.
*Please note that Loft Centre do not offer services to install loft staircases, we only stock and supply them.
