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.

We can, but we usually advise boarding only what you need. Every boarded area costs more and makes later checks under the floor harder.
