It is at this point that the stair hatch is cut out of the floor. As the loft has been cleaned out the amount of dust / dirt is at a minimal. When the hatch is cut sawdust will fall through onto the landing below.
If any mess does fall through it is dealt with straight away. We hover the area below the hatch at regular points.
