When do you need a Loft boarding & ladders?
When you need more storage space in your home, want to improve safety for accessing your loft, or are upgrading your loft insulation.
What happens on the day
A specialist will install a suitable loft ladder, ensuring it's securely fitted and easy to operate. They will then lay loft boards, typically on a raised sub-frame to protect insulation and allow for proper ventilation, creating a sturdy storage platform. They will tidy up the work area after completion.
How to prepare
- Clear the loft of any existing items that are not being stored.
- Ensure clear access to the loft hatch area.
- Remove any fragile items from the area below the loft hatch.
- Consider if additional lighting or electrical sockets are needed in the loft.
- Have chosen ladder type ready if you are supplying it.
How to improve your result
- Ensure sufficient insulation is maintained or improved before boarding.
- Consider a raised loft boarding system to avoid compressing insulation.
- Install proper lighting in the loft for safer access and visibility.
- Use heavy-duty storage boxes to organise items and protect them from dust.
Why it is useful day to day
A boarded loft with a safe ladder provides invaluable extra storage space, helping to declutter your living areas. It also makes accessing your loft for maintenance or storage much safer and more convenient.
Why we ask these questions
We ask about your property to understand the size of your loft, the existing insulation depth, the type of roof structure, and the preferred location for the ladder. This helps us recommend the best solution for safe and effective boarding and access.
