Can anyone spec me a loft hatch?
The one I have you like have to like push up, then take out completely but I want to add a telescopic loft ladder for easy access, and this wont work with that, I need one with a door that folds down (whatever you call it) on a hinge, like this:

I've measured the area (give a take a few mm) the hatch opening is 760mm x 560mm, the space between the wood is 800mm x 570mm
The length (left to right as per the below photo) isnt that important, ideally doesnt want to be much smaller, as that'll mean I might end up with a gap in the plaster board which I will have to put right and it'll never end up looking 100%. Plus it'll mean I will have smaller access. Those bits of wood at each end are not strucutral, they have been nailed in there, I will need to take one out (left side as per photo) anyway and put a better bit of wood in so I can bolt the ladder to it. It can be longer maybe 50/100 mil either way should still fit nicely.
Width wise (top to bottom as per the photo) obviously needs to be pretty spot on.
I have a small set of steps I keep in a cupboard right next to that hatch anyway, so I dont mind one that you have to reach up to pull down or whatever, that isnt an issue at all.
Any suggestions?
