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.

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

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.
