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
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
Why book with us in Margate
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.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Margate?
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 Margate
How soon can you visit a home in Margate?
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.
Do you take on jobs outside Margate?
Yes. We also work in Broadstairs and Ramsgate and elsewhere in Kent.
How do I pay for work in Margate?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
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.
