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
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
- Loft legs fixed to the joists

Questions about raised loft boarding in Annan
Can you visit Annan outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can a landlord in Annan book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you take on jobs outside Annan?
Yes. We also work in Lockerbie and Dumfries and elsewhere in Dumfries and Galloway.
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.
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.
