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

Questions about raised loft boarding in Longfield
Do you charge extra to travel to Longfield?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Longfield. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you take on jobs outside Longfield?
Yes. We also work in Swanscombe and Gravesend and elsewhere in Kent.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Longfield?
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.
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.
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.
