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

Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
How much does raised loft boarding cost in Leatherhead?
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 Leatherhead
What do I need to do before you arrive in Leatherhead?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Can a landlord in Leatherhead book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you take on jobs outside Leatherhead?
Yes. We also work in Epsom and Cobham and elsewhere in Surrey.
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.
