The Best Pages North Yorkshire - December 2022

Paul Smith with 35 years’ experience

These days most home own e rs suffe r from a lac k of storage space. So many precious ite ms that need to be kept but whe re to store it all? T hat’s whe re York shire Loft Ladde rs come in.

The company, based locally, offers homeowners the oppor tunity to maxi mi se their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sqft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Warren Ingleson explains:

“Our watchwords are Quality,

Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served trades men so our customers are assured of the best job Integ rity in that we will turn up at the time we sa y and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford Our busi ness relies on referrals and we got a huge a mount of our calls from people who have been referred to us by our exi sting custome rs that si mply would n’t happen if we didn’t adhere to our overriding principles

At the end of the day the old adage that happy customers

lead to more happy cust omers is true and we work hard to make that happen for every installation we carry out !”

So, if you wa nt to make use of your loft space, however big or

small, call Warren on 0800 612 8359 and he’ll be happy to pop round and give you a no obligation quote so you too can make use of your loft!
