Modern insulation left at useful depth
Trusses shape the floor
We plan the platform around closely spaced roof members and services.
Warranty needs considered
Our approach takes relevant new-build guidance into account.

Survey measurements guide what we bring on installation day.
New-build storage above deep insulation
Many modern lofts contain thick insulation and closely spaced trusses, leaving little obvious room for boxes. Putting boards directly on top can compress the material and may conflict with relevant new-build warranty guidance. We survey Bridgend homes before planning a raised storage floor that preserves insulation depth and intended airflow. The footprint is shaped around trusses, services, tanks and low eaves, with a clear route from the hatch. We approach the design with relevant NHBC guidelines in mind, helping you gain useful capacity without treating the insulation as something to squash out of the way.
Plan first for an efficient installation day
Before the appointment, we use the survey to confirm the system, measurements and materials required. Most standard loft installations can be completed in a single day, although larger or more involved layouts may take longer. We ask you to clear suitable loft contents and keep the route through the home open for boards and equipment. Parking or unloading limits should also be mentioned in advance. When we reach your Bridgend property, the agreed footprint has already been planned, allowing us to focus on careful fitting, testing the access and checking the completed storage area.
Frequently asked questions
Can you board over deep new-build insulation?
Yes, with a suitable raised system. The floor must sit above the insulation rather than pressing it down. We assess the trusses, ventilation and available height before specifying the layout.
Will the work follow NHBC guidance?
We use an NHBC-guideline approach for relevant new-build projects. The survey helps us avoid direct compression of insulation and plan around the roof structure and services that need continued access.
How should we prepare our Bridgend home?
Please clear the agreed working area and keep the route to the loft hatch free of fragile belongings. Tell us about parking, narrow access or unloading restrictions before the installation date.
