Clean 1-day carpentry workflow

Attic Stairs & Flooring Packages questions answered
Do I need to empty the attic before a package installation?
If there are loose suitcases or boxes resting on the joists near the hatch, moving them to the eaves or onto the landing before the team arrives speeds up installation. The installers can help lift heavier items onto the new deck once the first bay is screwed down.
Can an electrician wire the LED loft light on the same day?
Yes. Most full-package teams wire the LED batten light into the upstairs lighting loop with a pull-cord or landing switch beside the hatch during the same 1-day visit.
What warranty comes with an attic stairs and flooring package?
Specialists typically provide a 5-to-10-year workmanship guarantee on the raised subfloor structure alongside the manufacturer's warranty on the EN 14975 folding ladder and Loft Legs.
Can I upgrade from a timber ladder to a heavy-duty aluminium or telescopic ladder?
Yes — upgrading a package from a 3-section timber ladder to a heavy-duty Stira-grade or concertina aluminium stairs typically adds €90–€180.
