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
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
Why book with us in Leominster
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
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.
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Leominster?
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 Leominster
Do you charge extra to travel to Leominster?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Leominster. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can you visit Leominster outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Leominster?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
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.
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.
