Did you know? 48,000 people a year in the UK end up in hospital A&E departments following a fall from a ladder in and around the home!

As June marks National Safety Month in the UK, it’s the perfect time to focus on the importance of safety in all aspects of our lives, including our homes. One area that often gets overlooked is the loft. Whether you use it for storing seasonal items, family heirlooms, or just the clutter that accumulates over time, ensuring your loft is safe and accessible is crucial. At More Than Loft Ladders, we specialise in providing safe and secure loft access and storage solutions, helping you make the most of your space without compromising on safety.

The Importance of Loft Safety

Using your loft for storage can be incredibly practical not to mention cost effective, but it comes with its own set of risks if not done correctly. Here’s why it’s important to keep safety in mind:

1. Preventing Accidents

   – Falls: One of the most common accidents involving lofts is falling. This can happen when accessing the loft without a proper ladder or when navigating an unstable floor.

   – Structural Damage: Storing heavy items improperly can lead to structural damage, posing a danger to the integrity of your home and the safety of its occupants.

2. Safe Storage:

   – Weight Distribution: Using our raised platforms with built in sub-frame we ensure that the weight of stored items is evenly distributed which prevents overloading specific areas, which can cause the loft floor to collapse, potentially leading to damaging the ceilings below.

   – Accessibility: Proper organisation and access solutions prevent accidents caused by climbing over or reaching for stored items.
