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.

Questions about raised loft boarding in Thornton-Cleveleys

Is loft work in Thornton-Cleveleys 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.

How soon can you visit a home in Thornton-Cleveleys?

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 charge extra to travel to Thornton-Cleveleys?

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Thornton-Cleveleys. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

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.

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.
