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
- Full-depth insulation under the boarded area
- Moisture-resistant chipboard or OSB boards

Questions about raised loft boarding in Stowmarket
Will I get a written quote for work in Stowmarket?
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 Stowmarket book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
How soon can you visit a home in Stowmarket?
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.
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.
