FOR THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP BUILDINGS RUNNING
Access that works
with your premises.
Stira & Simcott Group provide bespoke loft access solutions for schools, hospitals, care facilities, offices, hotels and industrial premises.
From occasional access to roof-space services to a replacement hatch in a more practical position, we help you plan a solution around your building, your staff and the task at hand.
FLEXIBILITY, BUILT IN
When a standard ladder
isn’t the right fit.
Choose the system around the opening, ceiling height and intended use—not the other way round.
EASIER OPERATION
Semi-automatic systems
A remote-operated trapdoor can make opening and closing the access easier, including in buildings with higher ceilings.
EXTENDED HEIGHTSUp to 3.92 metres
Selected models can be manufactured for taller ceiling heights where standard loft ladders may be unsuitable. Final dimensions, clearance and model suitability are confirmed through a site survey.
MORE THAN JUST A LOFT LADDER
A complete project.
One point of contact.
Simcott brings construction, refurbishment and property maintenance experience to the whole job—from the initial survey to installation and making good.
Bespoke manufacture
Systems made to suit individual ceiling heights, access requirements and the agreed site specification.
Hatch relocation
Reposition an existing loft opening where needed to improve the practicality of access, subject to site suitability.
New access openings
Formation of new openings and associated structural alterations where required, subject to assessment and necessary approvals.
Fire & thermal options
Specify fire-rated and insulated options to suit the project. Performance requirements, including Category A insulation where applicable, must be supported by the selected product’s certification.
Associated building works
Carpentry, joinery, modifications, making good and decoration—all coordinated as part of the agreed scope.
Professional installation
Installation by fully trained Simcott installers, with the survey, specification and finishing works managed together.
THE RIGHT ACCESS FOR THE TASK
Occasional access.
Carefully specified.
Folding loft ladders can provide temporary access for occasional inspection and maintenance of suitable roof spaces and building services. Suitability depends on the task, the users, frequency of access and the risks at your site.
They are not a substitute for a permanent staircase where one is required. For regular or continuous access, a permanent staircase or another suitable access solution may be necessary. We assess your requirements before recommending a system.
Access arrangements must be supported by an appropriate risk assessment, safe use procedures and any necessary approvals. Read HSE guidance on working at height.

Can the ladder be made for a higher ceiling?+
Selected Stira models can reach up to 3.92 metres. Available dimensions depend on the model, opening, clearance and site conditions. We confirm the appropriate specification during the survey.
Can you move an existing loft hatch?+

Is a folding loft ladder suitable for daily access?+
These solutions are presented for occasional inspection and maintenance access where a risk assessment supports their use. Regular or continuous access may call for a permanent staircase or another suitable solution. Our team will discuss the intended use before recommending a system.
Can you provide fire-rated and insulated options?+
Yes. We can discuss fire and thermal performance requirements and identify suitable options. Confirm the certification, rating and installation requirements for the specific model and project before ordering.
