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.

Questions about raised loft boarding in Kingston upon Thames

Do you charge extra to travel to Kingston upon Thames?

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Kingston upon Thames. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

Is loft work in Kingston upon Thames 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.

How soon can you visit a home in Kingston upon Thames?

We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.

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.

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.
