Whether we’re replacing an awkward manhole, creating a new attic access point, installing a pull-down attic ladder, or adding practical roof-space flooring, we treat every home with respect and leave the work area clean and tidy.

We install attic stairs and roof-space flooring across Christchurch, Rolleston, Lincoln, West Melton, Prebbleton, Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Darfield, and wider Canterbury, helping homeowners turn wasted roof space into safe, tidy and usable storage.

Stair Installs

Safe, sturdy attic stairs fitted neatly and securely so you can stop balancing on a dodgy ladder while trying to shove Christmas decorations through a manhole.

We measure up your space, recommend the right attic stair option, and install it with a tidy finish that looks like it was meant to be there.

Flooring Additions

Attic flooring is a great way to turn unused roof space into practical storage. We generally install around 8m², which is usually enough for most homes, but some people choose to increase this to around 12m² if they have a lot more to store.

It gives you a safer, tidier space for boxes, Christmas gear, suitcases, and all the “I’ll deal with that later” stuff.

Tidy Site

Your home is treated respectfully from the moment we arrive. We use a vacuum, clean up as we go, and leave every area spotless at the end of your project. This tidy approach is core to what makes Attic Stair Installs stand out. Our aim is to finish every job so you would never know a tradie had been.

Upfront Prices

No hidden extras or surprise bills.

Send through a few details and photos of your roof space, and we can usually provide a clear estimate. If your install needs a closer look, we can arrange a site visit before confirming the quote.

WORK IS ALWAYS TIDY

We care about your space. A careful setup, vacuum, and a full tidy up are part of every job.

COSTS ARE TRANSPARENT 

If you can provide a location and a clear photo of your roof space/manhole, or if it is a straightforward install, I can usually give you an accurate estimate upfront.

Getting a Quote Is Easy

Depending on your home, we may be able to provide an estimate from your photos and information, or we can arrange a site visit if needed.

We like to be upfront with pricing, but every roof space and location is a little different, so the best way to quote accurately is to see a few details first.

We do sometimes book up a few weeks in advance, so it’s worth getting in touch early if you’re wanting your attic stairs installed by a certain date.

LOCAL CHRISTCHURCH SERVICE

Local, practical and easy to deal with. You’ll deal directly with us from the first message through to the finished install.

Frequently asked questions

How long does attic stair installation take?

Most installations around Christchurch can be completed in just a day, but sometimes they do take two, depending on what is required and our workload.

Do you remove and tidy up all rubbish?

Yes, tidy finish is a big part of the service. All offcuts, packaging and debris are cleared away at the end, leaving your home as clean as I found it. No extra charges ... tidy up is included in my pricing.

What is needed to book an attic stair install?

Get in touch with your location, ceiling height if known, and a few photos of your current manhole or the area where you’d like attic access. A roof-space photo is also helpful. From there, we can usually confirm whether it suits an attic stair install and provide the next steps.

If we need to check anything in person, we can arrange a site visit before confirming the quote.

Are attic stairs suitable for all Canterbury homes?


Most Canterbury homes can have attic stairs fitted, especially with standard ceiling heights up to around 2.9m. Every roof space is checked first to make sure there is enough room, suitable framing, and safe access for the install to work properly.

For higher ceilings or more awkward roof spaces, we can talk through the best option before confirming the quote.
