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.
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area

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 Heswall
Do you charge extra to travel to Heswall?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Heswall. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Will I get a written quote for work in Heswall?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can a landlord in Heswall book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
