Do your loft ladders meet building regulations? Just do a quick internet search on building regulations in the UK and you will see a confusing myriad of UK local authority laws that govern the use and erection of loft ladders, loft stairs and loft conversions.  For example, why must loft stairs conform to building regulations, while there is no such requirement for  loft ladders ? This is because local authorities see the installation of a stairway as the beginning of a process to use a loft as a living space, rather than storage space. In this case, the regulations are more stringent.  Loft areas that are used for storage generally aren’t accessed often. This is different from accessing a loft that’s been converted into living space that people will need to access frequently, such as a sleeping or study area. With more frequent use comes a greater chance of an accident.  So, the enhanced building regulations exist to prevent injuries and to ensure the conversion proceeds acc

Does your loft ladder feel safe? Have you ever struggled to carry a heavy or bulky item up to your loft? Chances are, then, that you may have noticed how rickety and inadequate your current loft ladder is.  Loft ladders  don’t always seem to be designed for heavy or frequent use.  If this is the case with yours, or if you’re considering upgrading your loft from storage space to living space, there are a number of important issues to consider. It’s wise to have a plan because if you’ve ever tried to do a major home renovation without one, then you’re very well aware how difficult it can be.  Find out more here:  https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/blog/ladders/how-safe-is-your-loft-ladder/ We have shared this blog on Medium:  https://medium.com/@marketing.bpsaccesssolutions/how-safe-is-your-loft-ladder-a9eb1022bfb7 This has also been posted on WordPress:  https://bpsaccesssolutions.home.blog/2019/01/31/how-safe-is-your-loft-ladder/

Hey Guys, Scaffold towers may seem boring, but do you know their history? When were  scaffold towers  invented?. Many people think that Scaffolds are a recent invention, where in fact they were used in ancient Greece at least 500 years BC. Records of ancient cultures in Egypt, Nubia and China indicate that these cultures used scaffolds extensively. Many early African cultures made use of scaffolds too. To reach the apex of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo designed his own scaffold, which was unique because instead of being deployed on the floor, he built his scaffold on brackets that were fitted into holes near the top of the chapel’s windows. To help working at height, a scaffold tower is often used instead of scaffolds. These are free-standing systems that are easy to move and adjust. A typical scaffold tower is fitted with castors that allow it to be moved quickly and easily. The castors lock securely into place when the tower is in use. Work platforms are accessed by inter
