    yes possibly not the right forum for this question but its as good as any usually to get an answer so here goes..
    was thinking of getting the sister an attic ladder in for the crimbo..just after looking on the stira site and they are 450 euro :eek::eek:
    can anyone recommend another crowd that do this same job and are a bit better value...and before anyone tells me its child play to fit them yourselves, forget it, I cant drive a nail straight ;)

    The normal run of them is approx €100 to buy. Any carpenter worth his salt will fit one in 2 or 3 hours (another €100). You will also need to get a bit of archatraive for it.

    I have one of these:

    Most hardwares have them for €89

    Find a carpenter who'll do a nixer for you!

    Reilig is right, i paid €99 for a fakro one a few months back, the carpender charged €100 labour and €40 for materials.

    (we closed the old door and put the new one in a safer place. He even put back in timbers in the old doorway and plaster slabbed it and skimmed.) :D

    Hint, if your sister is ever thinking of flooring out the attic, put the sheets up before the stairs is fitted. Saves alot more cuts in the Ply :p

    No need, the length is easily trimmed once the ceiling is under 10'. Any carpenter will adjust the size of the opening in about an hour.
