| Jun 9, 2022 at 13:02 | comment | added | martpendle | Don’t worry I think it’s only something in UK houses. Basically it covers the top of the stairs. So under that box is a sloped section that is essentially the “roof” of the stairs. The stairs are accessed normally but when you walk down the stairs your head is essentially on the underside of that box. Here is an image with the cover removed. The stairs are on the other side of the slope. images.app.goo.gl/YCdJDofZKvSM6gaZ9 You know what, it might actually be thick plasterboard, is that harder to fix? | |
| Jun 9, 2022 at 10:45 | comment | added | FreeMan | The picture in your question is helpful, but the images at the link still leave me (from the USA) confused. Is this some sort of hatch/box covering the top of the stairs leading to the attic? I don't understand how it covers the stairs, yet the stairs remain useable. Maybe my coffee isn't working yet this morning... Do you have access to the back side of this, even from a ladder? If so, it's an easy-peasy fix... Is that really wood or is it plaster? From here, it looks like a thick coat of plaster. | |

| Jun 8, 2022 at 18:12 | comment | added | FreeMan | You're getting a lot of good guesses. You'd probably get even better ones if you'd actually included a picture of the situation, maybe even with a tape measure in it so people can see how bit a hole you're dealing with since you didn't mention that, either. | |
