Raised Loft Boarding
We professionally install raised loft boarding systems across Lancashire, creating practical, accessible storage space whilst ensuring that your existing loft insulation is protected
Why choose loft boarding?
A professionally installed raised loft boarding system creates a safe, practical storage platform whilst protecting your insulation – helping you make better use of underused loft space
- Ideal for safe storage or hobby use
- Provides easier and safer access
- Protects loft insulation & performance
- Potentially add value to your home
- Often completed within 1–2 days
Why we don't recommend boarding directly onto your ceiling joists
- It could compress your insulation and reduce its effectiveness
- Doesn’t enable a recommended insulation depth of 270mm
- May result in damp or mould
- Can hamper access to cables, pipework and other loft services
- Could impact the structural integrity of your ceiling joists
Our Loft Boarding Installation Process
1. Loft Assessment:
We assess your loft, considering access, existing insulation, the roof structure and any visible cables, pipework or other services, before recommending a suitable boarding solution.
2. Discuss Your Requirements:
We find out how you would like to use your loft, including your storage needs, access requirements and any additional improvements you may be considering.
3. Prepare the Loft Space:
We identify any issues that may need attention before installation, such as insufficient insulation, access restrictions or obstructions.
4. Install the Raised Boarding System:
We install the appropriate support system and boarding panels, creating a stable, practical storage platform while maintaining the required clearance above the insulation.
5. Complete the Work and Tidy Up:
We check the completed installation, explain how to use your new storage area and leave your home clean and tidy.
The cost of raised loft boarding in trussed-roof properties across Lancashire starts from just £396 for a 6m² area
‘Raised Boarding Plus’ deals are also available – these can include a new ladder, a replacement loft hatch, the installation or topping up of insulation and new lighting
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions homeowners ask about raised boarding:
How long does it take to install raised loft boarding?
The accurate answer is that it all depends on the size and condition of your loft. Smaller lofts can often be completed in less than a day with larger areas potentially taking longer. However, we’ll confirm the exact timeframe during your free survey
Will raised boarding compress or damage my loft insulation?
No – raised boarding correctly fit is designed to sit above your insulation, keeping it effective while giving you a safe, solid storage platform. This will prevent compression, damp issues, and heat‑loss problems
Do I need to clear my loft before raised boarding is installed?
It depends on how much is stored up there. Light items can usually be moved aside during installation, but if your loft is full, we’ll advise what needs removing during your free survey. If you wish, we provide a service whereby we will remove items prior to installation and return them once completed or dispose of them if they’re no longer required. We always make the process as simple and hassle‑free as possible
