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
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards

Questions about raised loft boarding in Bishopbriggs
Is loft work in Bishopbriggs different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Bishopbriggs?
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.
Do you take on jobs outside Bishopbriggs?
Yes. We also work in Kirkintilloch and Bearsden and elsewhere in Dunbartonshire.
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.
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.
