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.
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
Why book with us in Maldon
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Maldon?
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 Maldon
Can you visit Maldon 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.
Will I get a written quote for work in Maldon?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How do I pay for work in Maldon?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
