A boarded loft gives you a lot of storage for little cost, as long as the insulation underneath stays effective.
Keep the insulation working
Squashed insulation stops working. Raised loft legs lift the boards above the insulation so it keeps its full depth.
Safety first
- Fit a proper loft ladder and a light.
- Never stand between the joists.
- Leave the water tank and cables easy to reach.
If the joists are small or the roof is low, ask us to check the structure before you store anything heavy.
