Enlarge my Loft Hatch

I need to enlarge my loft hatch, and want to employ a professional to do the job. Can anyone recommend a carpenter/joiner? I live near Brighton in Sussex.

    true however its not exactly rocket science either is it?

    remove timber from around opening, mark out how much larger the hatch is to be, cut back the gyprock to your mark with a stanley knife/old saw or padsaw, add timber around outside opening edge of new size opening to carry the new loft hatch.
