What is raised loft boarding?
Laying boards straight onto the joists compresses the insulation to the joist depth, which can halve its value, and can trap moisture under the boards. We board the area you need, usually around the hatch, and leave the rest of the loft at full depth. More about raised loft boarding.
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
Why book with us in Arbroath
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Arbroath?
This work is not an energy-saving material for VAT, so it is standard-rated if VAT applies. Where it is done alongside insulation, the quote shows each part separately.
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, insulating an existing loft does not normally need a building warrant, but the building standards still apply. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about raised loft boarding in Arbroath
Do you take on jobs outside Arbroath?
Yes. We also work in Carnoustie and Montrose and elsewhere in Angus and Dundee.
Will I get a written quote for work in Arbroath?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How do I pay for work in Arbroath?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can you board the whole loft?
We can, but we usually advise boarding only what you need. Every boarded area costs more and makes later checks under the floor harder.
How much weight can a boarded loft take?
Ordinary household storage such as boxes and cases is fine on most lofts. Heavy items need the joists assessing. Trussed roofs are lighter than traditional cut roofs.
