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.
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
Why book with us in Gloucestershire
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Gloucestershire?
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 Gloucestershire
How do I book a survey in Gloucestershire?
Send the form or call us. We call back to agree a time and confirm it in writing.
Which council covers my address in Gloucestershire?
Councils in Gloucestershire include Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
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.
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.
