Garry and his team were very quick throughout the whole process. From when I first enquired to responding to assessing the work and cost then installing the loft insulation to tidying up afterwards. Very friendly with helpful advice, and made my place cleaner than before they came! Thank you Loft invaders.

Great job by Garry and the team, really please with the care taken and the end result has made the space so much safer to use.

Loft Boarding FAQ’s

What is loft boarding?

Loft boarding is the process of installing a sturdy, flat surface in the attic or loft space of a home. This creates additional storage space by allowing homeowners to safely store items on the floor of their loft, rather than just using it for insulation or leaving it empty.

Why should I consider raised loft boarding instead of standard loft boarding?
Raised loft boarding is designed to sit above your loft insulation, preventing it from being compressed. Compressing insulation can significantly reduce its effectiveness, leading to higher energy bills. Raised loft boarding also allows for better air circulation, reducing the risk of damp and condensation, and can be installed to accommodate existing wiring and pipework without causing damage.
Can loft boarding increase the value of my home?
Yes, professionally installed loft boarding can increase the value of your home by improving its energy efficiency, creating additional usable space, and enhancing overall storage solutions. These improvements are attractive to potential buyers, making your property more appealing on the market.
Is my loft suitable for boarding?
Most lofts can be boarded, but suitability can depend on a few factors, such as the height of the loft, the strength of the existing joists, and the type of insulation already in place. A professional assessment by a loft boarding specialist, like Loft Invaders, can determine the best approach for your specific loft.
How long does loft boarding installation take?
The time required for loft boarding installation can vary depending on the size of your loft and the type of boarding solution you choose. However, many standard installations can be completed within a day. More complex projects, especially those that require additional adjustments such as insulation, lighting, or a loft ladder, may take longer.
Does loft boarding require planning permission?
Loft boarding for storage purposes usually doesn’t require planning permission as it’s considered a minor home improvement. However, if you’re planning significant alterations that could affect the structure of your home or intend to convert your loft into a living space, you may need to seek planning permission. It’s always a good idea to check with your local planning authority if you’re unsure.
