Not quite the answer you're looking for but if you have basic DIY skills this isn't too tricky to do yourself if you get the right ladder. I fitted one of these https://www.ladderstore.com/alu-fix-concertina-loft-ladders which can be done in a fairly small opening.

Hi Con2, who did you go with in the end? We need someone to lay loft boards for us asap. It's not something we feel confident to tackle ourselves because the joists are covered by thick insulation.

Thanks!

I know this is an old post but we’re also looking into this. I’m interested in which loft space you focused on - we have a larger space top front and a long but thin area at the back of the house. The bigger space is the more appealing to work with but the hatch is higher up, with limited floor space below.
