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. Loft legs screw to the joists and carry the boards at the right height. More about raised loft boarding.

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

Questions about raised loft boarding in Chester-le-Street

How do I pay for work in Chester-le-Street?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.

Will I get a written quote for work in Chester-le-Street?

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.

What do I need to do before you arrive in Chester-le-Street?

Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.

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.
