Need More Storage? Our Loft Board Fitters Unlock Your Loft’s Potential

If your home feels cluttered and you’re short on space, your loft could be the answer, but without proper flooring, it’s unsafe, awkward, or unusable. Whether you’re a new homeowner, growing family, or downsizer, we help turn lofts into valuable storage spaces that are safe, energy-efficient, and hassle-free.

The Smart Way to Board Your Loft: Benefits You’ll Notice Right Away

  • Safe, Stable Access – No more wobbling on joists or risking injury
  • More Usable Space – Free up rooms by storing seasonal or bulky items overhead
  • Energy Efficient – Raised boarding protects your insulation, helping cut energy bills
  • Adds Home Appeal – A boarded loft adds value and function to your property
  • Stress-Free Process – From survey to sweep-up, we make it easy

What Makes Us Different: Trusted Local Experts, Not a Franchise

At Home Counties Loft Ladders, we’re proud to be a local, family-run business, not a franchise. All our fitters are fully employed experts, not subcontractors, ensuring consistent quality and service you can trust. Our quoting team is salaried, meaning there’s no hard sell, just honest advice. We’re also committed to eco-conscious practices, using sustainable materials wherever possible and protecting your insulation during installation.

Why You Should Always Choose a Professional for Loft Boarding

DIY loft boarding might seem like a money-saver, but it often results in crushed insulation, unsafe walkways, missed structural issues, and even voided warranties on new-build homes. Our expert team ensures your installation is secure, energy efficient, and tailored to your loft’s structure and layout, so you get lasting results without compromise.

Loft Boarding Costs: What Should You Expect to Pay?

Every loft is different, but we keep our pricing transparent:

  • Starter Package: From £444 inc. VAT (includes ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding, and a light)
  • Average Job: ~£1,600 for a complete solution (boarding, insulation, hatch & ladder)

Loft Boarding FAQs

Can you board over insulation without damaging it?

Yes – we use a raised boarding system that protects your insulation and maintains airflow. This ensures your home remains energy efficient and your insulation performs at its best.

Is my loft suitable for boarding?

Most lofts can be boarded, but we’ll carry out a free survey to assess your loft’s structure, insulation, and head height. We’ll always provide honest advice based on your specific property – whether it’s a new build or a Victorian terrace.

How long does loft boarding installation take?

In most cases, we complete the entire job – including boarding, ladder installation, and lighting – in just one day. Larger or more complex lofts may take a little longer, but we’ll always give you a clear timeframe upfront.

Will the installation be messy or disruptive?

Not at all. We lay protective sheets, use dust sheets, and work as cleanly as possible. Our fitters are trained to respect your home, and we tidy up fully before we leave.

How much weight can a boarded loft hold?

Our boarding systems are designed for standard household storage like boxes, suitcases, and decorations. We’ll advise on weight limits during your survey and can tailor the installation to suit heavier-duty needs if required.

Will loft boarding affect my NHBC warranty?

No – our experienced team understands the needs of new build properties. We’ll ensure your boarding complies with NHBC guidelines and doesn’t interfere with insulation, wiring, or ventilation.

What if there’s clutter or old insulation in the loft?

We offer optional loft clearance as part of our service. Whether it’s debris, old insulation, or unwanted items, we can help prepare the space before installation.

Can I combine loft boarding with insulation upgrades?

Absolutely. Many customers choose to insulate and board at the same time to improve energy efficiency and comfort. We offer sustainable insulation options and can quote for both during your survey.
