Ditto, mine just sits in its recess so can be removed completely. It's been out for about a week now. I had a new
roof put on the house a few years ago so I have modern non-bituminous roof felt, the loft space is pretty clean now.
Full to bursting with junk but clean, my boiler is up there now as well. I plan to add a second hatch with a built in ladder
in the pretty near future. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Fitted a split air con system in the bedroom a few years back. Outside unit whisper quiet. All DIY with gas pre installed. Warms the bedroom in winter cheaper than a heater/central heating.
Leave it on for a few hours and bedroom is like walking into a meat fridge - bloody freezing |

As the main suggestion was something I cannot do I thought ‘bollocks’ and bought the dyson am07.

I have a portable AC unit, mine is ~10 years old and loud and rattly, however it is 100x better than it being hot.
I just stick the the pipe out of the widow and wedge it in. My original pipe was plastic and eventually split. I replaced it with a Metal one, however this was a mistake as It radiator the heat back into the room moreso than the plastic one.
I am considering an upgrade as this one really does make a lot of noise. However after 10 years, it is still going strong.
It cools exceptionally well, it can easily drop the temperature by ~8-10 degrees and that is with the outlet wedged in the window and the crappy metal exhaust.
We sleep with it on but only with earplugs. Often I'll turn it off in the night as it is too cold. I always set it on the lowest setting because having it set at say 20, will mean when it gets to 20 the compressor will stop then when it gets warmer the compressor kicks in which is fairly loud and can wake us up so it is better just to have it on full power all the time.
As for cost judging by the smart meter I reckon it costs us an average of £1 a night if it is on all night, more of the time it is on till about 2am so costs much less. ____________________ Well, you know what they say.

It was so bad on my boat I had the portable AC unit going in the living room and 10m of plastic flexible ducting taped to the cold air outlet going straight to my bed.
