Look up! And get more space at home for under £345

For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited on rare occasions; a precarious scramble across dusty beams with torch in hand, grabbing what’s needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long forgotten belongings. But that dark and dingy place is worth thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of the floorspace in an average home. So shouldn’t we be making the most of it?

And that’s where More Than Loft Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded in Bolton ten years ago, MTLL specialises in generating space by making our lofts easily accessible. The latest MTLL franchise is based

in Preston covering Preston, Chorley and the Fylde Coast and is run by skilled local Iain Caldwell who says the company’s no-frills approach is what most people are looking for.

“We’re not selling £15,000 loft conversions,” says Iain. “This is a low-cost and simple alternative. For just £287+VAT you can get; a high quality loft ladder fitted for total ease of use and upmost safety, a fitted light to illuminate your attic space with a switch placed in a safe but easy to reach location and some high quality and durable loft boarding to make the space safe and secure. We can also fit a draft-proof loft hatch if required from only £55.”

The price customers are quoted is the price they will pay, with no additional call out charges. Iain provides a free guarantee on all parts and labour too.

For a free survey and quotation with no obligation, contact More Than Loft Ladders now!

e’d all like more room at home. But not everyone can afford to move or extend. So what if there was a way to get extra space for just a few hundred pounds, ready to use in less than a day? In truth, that space is already there. It’s just not being used to its full potential.

The new owners were Community Groups and Job Seekers who need them to maintain their searches and benefits.

“What we do is very like the work of Animal Rescue charities,”, said Dave Carlos, the Clinic organiser.

“We take unwanted and unloved hardware, bring it back to life and health and then ‘rehouse’ it with those who need and will use it. All for FREE!” The current problem is that the Clinic has more potential new owners that it has kit to rehouse!

The Clinic has an active Facebook page – www.facebook.com/ wfcomputerclinic – where owners can leave details of their unwanted equipment and they will be contacted as soon as possible after leaving a message.

The Clinic, an initiative of Emmanuel Church West, also continues its regular Monday sessions, every two weeks at the Rossall Tavern, Larkholme Parade, Fleetwood.
