How Much Do Loft Ladders Cost to Install?

How Much Is The Cost Of A Loft Ladder Installation in 2025?

If you’re thinking about improving loft access, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: how much does a loft ladder cost to install?

In this guide, the Snug Lofts team breaks down current prices, what affects them, and how to get the best value and safety for your home in 2025.

Average Loft Ladder Installation Costs

Ladder Type Average Supply & Fit Cost Typical Installation Time Aluminium Sliding Ladder £250–£350 1–2 hours. Telescopic Ladder £300–£450 1–2 hours. Folding Timber Ladder£400–£600 2–3 hours. Concertina Ladder £450–£650 2–3 hours.

Tip: If your loft hatch needs enlarging or replacing, expect an additional £100–£250, depending on the size and finish.

What Affects the Cost?

Several factors influence the total cost of fitting a loft ladder:

1. Ceiling Height & Hatch Size – Higher ceilings or small openings require more materials and labour.
2. Ladder Material – Aluminium is usually cheaper; timber is more premium and durable.
3. Frequency of Use – Occasional access may only need a simple ladder; frequent access benefits from a sturdier setup.
4. Optional Extras – Handrails, insulated hatches, or lighting can add value and convenience.
