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
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
Why book with us in Ramsgate
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
Photos of the finished loft
You see the work done without climbing the ladder.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Ramsgate?
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 Ramsgate
Do you take on jobs outside Ramsgate?
Yes. We also work in Broadstairs and Margate and elsewhere in Kent.
How soon can you visit a home in Ramsgate?
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.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Ramsgate?
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.
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.
