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.
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
- Loft legs fixed to the joists

How much does raised loft boarding cost in Tredegar?

Questions about raised loft boarding in Tredegar
Do you take on jobs outside Tredegar?
Yes. We also work in Ebbw Vale and Blackwood and elsewhere in Gwent.
Is loft work in Tredegar 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.
Do you charge extra to travel to Tredegar?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Tredegar. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
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.
