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.
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
Why book with us in Maidstone
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
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.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Maidstone?
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 Maidstone
Is loft work in Maidstone 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.
Can a landlord in Maidstone book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
How soon can you visit a home in Maidstone?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
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.
