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
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
- Loft legs fixed to the joists
Why book with us in Keynsham
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Keynsham?
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 Keynsham
Do you take on jobs outside Keynsham?
Yes. We also work in Bath and Nailsea and elsewhere in Somerset.
Do you charge extra to travel to Keynsham?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Keynsham. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you cover all of BS31?
Yes, we cover the BS31 postcode district and the districts around Keynsham.
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.
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.
