Give Yourself & Your Loft a Festive Treat!
Yes, it’s that time again already! Christmas is approaching, and it will soon be time to start thinking about digging out the decorations. If you’re anything like the rest of us, you probably put everything into a couple of boxes at the end of last year, and haven’t thought about them since.
Pulling decorations out of storage, and getting them ready for another year, will no doubt be a mix of both pleasure and chore; rediscovering some old favourites, and sorting out the usual mess of the fairy lights, but just how safe is it to get to those boxes? How much clutter is getting in the way?
According to a survey by the National Accident Helpline, 1 in 50 people have fallen out of the loft while bringing down tinsel, baubles and other decorations. Although many Christmas accidents are quickly shrugged off, more than 80,000 people a year need hospital treatment for injuries during the festive period, according to the NHS.
Here at Access4Lofts, we specialise in installing loft ladders and hatches, that can help you make the most of your loft, and safely access that extra storage you so desperately need. We have a number of options to suit any space, no matter how small, and can even offer some shelving options too. You’d be surprised at just how much room there is up there, and you’ll be even more surprised at just how quick, easy, and affordable it can be too.
Why suffer with clutter when there’s perfectly good storage space in your loft just waiting to be used? Let us make it safe and easy for you and your family this Christmas. After all, who’s going to polish off that last tin of Quality Street if you’re in A&E? No matter how much you love those baubles and tinsel, it’s just not worth the risk!
Find out how Access4Lofts can help you enjoy peace of mind, along with your festive cheer. To book a free survey and quote visit www.Access4Lofts.co.uk/BristolSouth, or call 01275 293 128. You can also find them on Facebook as Access4Lofts Bristol South.

Dream Doors also have a commitment to sustainability, providing kitchens that benefit both the homeowner, and the planet. By actively encouraging customers to reuse their existing cabinetry, and ensuring all materials removed are disposed of responsibly, Dream Doors North Somerset are making every effort to reduce the impact to the environment made by the kitchen industry.
