Certified safety. Fast delivery. Total confidence.
When ceilings require protected access, you cannot rely on standard hatches. A fire rated loft hatch protects your building, your compliance, and your people. Ours are tested, certified, and trusted across UK projects that demand strict adherence to fire safety.We manufacture in the UK which gives you speed, accuracy, and complete control of quality.
Ceiling access points are a weak link in fire protection. If the hatch fails, the compartment fails. This causes rapid fire spread and immediate loss of compliance.A certified fire rated loft hatch prevents this.At Rapid Access we design fire rated loft hatches that preserve compartmentation, maintain structural integrity, and satisfy Building Control on the first inspection.
