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.

Questions about raised loft boarding in Washwood Heath

What do I need to do before you arrive in Washwood Heath?

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.

Is loft work in Washwood Heath 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 do I pay for work in Washwood Heath?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.

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.
