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.
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area

How much does raised loft boarding cost in Cambridge?
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 regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about raised loft boarding in Cambridge
Will I get a written quote for work in Cambridge?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Do you take on jobs outside Cambridge?
Yes. We also work in Royston and St Ives (Cambridgeshire) and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire.
How do I pay for work in Cambridge?
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.
Is loft boarding included in VAT relief?
No. Boarding is not an energy-saving material, so it is standard-rated if VAT applies, while the insulation underneath can be zero-rated.
