A local business, supported by the Prince’s Trust. Loft Access & Electrical was established by Chris Shaw, from Great Harwood in Lancashire. Chris originally trained as a joiner and gained a great deal of experience in undertaking loft boarding, loft repositioning and other joinery and electrical work in the Greater Manchester area. The business was set up by Chris in early 2010 with nothing more than a set of tools, a skill set that was relevant, a business mentor from the Princes Trust and a determination to succeed. “Your loft space can represent up to one third of your total house floor area so putting it to good use and creating some extra storage space makes good sense.” Says Chris. “With storage space at a premium for most homes an excellent alternative is to ‘Use Your Loft’. For very little outlay you can transform your loft space into a usable and easily accessible space that will become a valuable asset to your home. The benefits of storing items that take up a lot of room around your house are massive. Suitcases, toys, Christmas decorations, games, books, old photos and many other things you could easily and safely access whenever you want.” Chris also suggests that climbing up to access your loft can be risky to life and limb with rickety old step ladders used to enter dark recesses of an unsafe loft. It is much safer to draw down a secure ladder, switch on the light and easily access this valuable secure space. Loft Access & Electrical provides home owners with a selection of loft packages to meet the needs of most houses. These include 2 or 3 section ladders, British Standard Tongue & Groove Loft boarding which is fitted securely to the ceiling joists, plus convenient light and switch. Additionally Chris wanted to offer his customers more options so he undertook a VELUX window training course at the VELUX Academy in Kettering which he successfully completed. The business now has a raft of satisfied customers, many of whom have recommended Chris to family and friends who have also gone on to have their own lofts boarded and upgraded.
