Step 5: Cut the new loft opening. Place dust sheets below the area you'll be working. Then using a plasterboard saw carefully cut along the marked lines to create the new opening for your loft hatch. A good tip is to cut from underneath the ceiling, this ensures the least damage to the plasterboard.. cutting the ceiling chord of a truss is about the worst thing you can do, these pieces are under tension and will render it useless. Tell the builder to go and get some truss adaption details from the manufacturer (if they can be adapted that is) Then you will have piece of mind. kaintheo, Sep 29, 2008. #5. !!

So, trying to install a new loft ladder with hatch using an old very very tiny hatch (enlarging it). New loft ladder frame size is 1180mm x 680mm and unfrotunately it has to be installed perpendicularly (not sure if the right word). You can see what I mean on attached pictures. Distance between 5 joists (including 3 I have to cut) is 1570mm but.. Trusses are always built with an upward camber so that once loaded they deflect about 6mm over time to become straight. Without the internal walls, the calculated deflection would have been as much as 170mm but only whilst the gang nail truss connectors stayed in place. The roof tiles had to be taken off completely to allow the remedial work.
