1. The Original Ramsay Ladder - The Sliding Loft Ladder
Manufactured by Ramsay since 1952, our Original Ramsay Loft Ladder is a trusted choice for frequent use. Made from durable aluminum with wide, corrugated treads, this ladder offers comfort and safety for residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It’s easy to install and spring-assisted for effortless operation, making it a reliable, time-tested solution.
2. Timber Folding Loft Ladder with Hatch
If you’re looking for a practical yet stylish option, our Timber Folding Loft Ladder with Hatch is an excellent choice. Made from high-quality timber, this ladder folds neatly into three sections and is supplied with a fully insulated trapdoor. It’s perfect for those who want a natural wood finish combined with functionality.
3. Concertina Loft Ladder
The Concertina Loft Ladder is compact and efficient, designed to save space both inside and beneath your loft. Its accordion-style mechanism allows it to fold neatly into the hatch, making it ideal for homes with smaller loft openings or limited floor space.
4. Telescopic Loft Ladder
For the ultimate in space-saving design, the Telescopic Loft Ladder is a game-changer. Made from rust-resistant anodised aluminium, it retracts fully into the hatch, leaving no impact on loft storage. Simple to install with just six screws, it’s perfect for small hatches and contemporary homes.

WHAT TYPE OF LOFT LADDER IS BEST FOR MY HOME?
The best loft ladder for your home depends on space, usage, and preference.
Sliding ladders are ideal for frequent use and suit large openings, folding timber ladders are perfect if you favour the natural look, while concertina and telescopic ladders are ideal for tight spaces. Read our full guide to choosing the best loft ladder for more help.
HOW DO YOU FIT A LOFT LADDER?
Fitting a loft ladder usually involves preparing the hatch, positioning the ladder, fixing it securely to the joists, and in some cases, adjusting the legs to suit your floor height. Many of our ladders can be installed as a DIY project if you're confident working at height.
Please note that each type of loft ladder we offer is slightly different, so it's important to follow the specific instructions provided with your model.
For a guide on the basic process, see our full Guide to Loft Ladder Installation.
HOW MUCH ARE LOFT LADDERS?
The cost of a loft ladder depends on the type, material, and features. At Ramsay Ladders, prices typically range from around £190 to £400, with very high-quality sliding aluminium ladders at the higher end and folding timber or concertina ladders at the lower end.
WHAT SIZE LOFT LADDER DO I NEED?
Determining the correct loft ladder size involves several key measurements:
- Floor-to-Floor Height: Measure the vertical distance from the floor of the room below to the floor of the loft. This determines the ladder's required length.
- Loft Opening Dimensions: Measure the length and width of your loft hatch to ensure compatibility with the ladder's installation requirements.
- Vertical and Horizontal Clearance: Assess the space available in your loft for storing the retracted ladder and the area below for safe extension and use.
For a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on measuring your space and selecting the appropriate loft ladder, please refer to our detailed article: How to Measure for a Loft Ladder.
ARE YOUR LOFT LADDERS SUITABLE FOR DIY INSTALLATION?
Yes, many of our loft ladders are suitable for DIY installation and come with full instructions. However, if you're not confident with joinery or working at height, we recommend professional installation for safety and peace of mind.
HOW MUCH IS IT TO INSTALL A LOFT LADDER?
Installation costs can vary depending on the type of ladder and the complexity of the job. Factors like enlarging the loft opening or fitting a new hatch may increase the price.
If you're confident with DIY, many of our loft ladders can be installed yourself.
