Loft boarding installation

During the loft boarding installation, our professionally trained installers will be initially measuring up and evaluating the space to ensure the process is correctly carried out. The type of loft you have will affect the possible duration of the project. Typically, newer homes will have a more straightforward loft boarding installation process and some older homes may require more care or work to be completed to achieve our renowned high standard. Each case is unique so clarification of the estimated time to complete the installation will differ and this will be explained by the surveyor.

The actual installation itself is typically completed in less than one day, although in some circumstances it can take up to three days depending on size and complexity.  The whole loft boarding installation project from the initial survey to the completed installation itself will usually be completed within three weeks.   

The available outcomes for a boarded loft, including the numerous optional extras, can provide a tailored solution. Our aim is to provide an efficient usable space. Loft hatches and other extras are also available and can be fitted by our professionally trained installers. All options can be discussed during the surveyor’s visit.

Using the loft space

During the initial planning of the loft boarding installation, optional extras could lead to a further expanded, tidy and efficient space. 

New loft hatches
Loft balustrades
Loft lining
Loft shelving
Roof windows

Opting for these extras improves areas such as visibility, usability and functionality. These extras in turn improve the overall temperature of the house, minifying heat loss and reducing the heating bills.

Benefits for a boarded loft

The loft can be used for many reasons after a loft boarding installation.

Extra storage space
Raising the property value
Improve air circulation
Lowered heating bills due to reduced heat loss

The extra useable space indirectly leads to a tidier space within the house as any extra items, such as suitcases, can be moved out of the way.
