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
Why book with us in Peckham
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
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 Peckham?
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 Peckham
Do you take on jobs outside Peckham?
Yes. We also work in Brixton and Greenwich and elsewhere in Greater London.
Do you cover all of SE15?
Yes, we cover the SE15 postcode district and the districts around Peckham.
Can a landlord in Peckham book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
