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.

Why book with us in Battersea
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
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.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.

How much does raised loft boarding cost in Battersea?
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 Battersea
How do I pay for work in Battersea?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Will I get a written quote for work in Battersea?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Is loft work in Battersea 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.
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.
