I remember a while ago seeing small pieces of chipboard that slip into each other and can be screwed down to allow you walk in and store in the attic.

They have to be small enough to get through the average attic door.

Any ideas where i can get them ?
 
Yep - I got mine in Woodies. They were on special at the time - €9.99 for 3, I think.
 
I have a load of them that other half never got round to laying that are being stored in the attic
 
Hey sandrat! Waiting to collar the market, are we?
 
the normal attic ones they come in a 3 pack about 4 foot long maybe 1-2 foot wide. if you could see my arms you'd have a better idea
 
Ah yeah I can see your arms. Strange how B&Q in Athlone were charging so much individually.
 
saw them in telfords portlaoise for 7.99 per 3 yesterday lex in case you got none
 
Careful not to compress your insulation when flooring, could pop your ceiling plasterboards below.
 
Any good local hardware shop will have 8X2 lengths, bought some last month think it was 12 euros a lenght, check your attic trap size before you buy though, most are under 2 foot, the 8 foot lengths are easier to fit.

The first ones I used were that big but it's very difficult to get them into the crawl space in a converted attic. The smaller ones referred to earlier are much easier to handle. Just be careful that the end of them hits the middle of the joist!
