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

How much does raised loft boarding cost in Swaffham?

Questions about raised loft boarding in Swaffham
Do you cover all of PE37?
Yes, we cover the PE37 postcode district and the districts around Swaffham.
Do you charge extra to travel to Swaffham?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Swaffham. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Swaffham 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 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.
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.
