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
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
- Loft legs fixed to the joists

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 Dukinfield
Do you cover all of SK16?
Yes, we cover the SK16 postcode district and the districts around Dukinfield.
Do you take on jobs outside Dukinfield?
Yes. We also work in Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
Can a landlord in Dukinfield book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
