A floor that does its job properly
Insulation stays effective
The raised surface avoids crushing the insulation beneath your stored items.
Air keeps moving
A clear gap below the boards helps preserve ventilation through the loft.
Built around obstructions
We shape the footprint around trusses, services and awkward roof areas.
Storage flooring that protects insulation
Putting ordinary boards straight onto deep insulation crushes the material and reduces the job it can do. Our raised loft boarding creates a firm storage floor above it, leaving space for insulation and airflow underneath. We inspect your Cardiff loft before choosing between LoftZone, Loft-E adjustable legs or a solid timber subframe. The right choice depends on the joists, trusses, services and height available. We then plan the boarded footprint around the items you want to store and the route you need to reach them. The result is useful floor space without simply hiding a compressed layer of insulation beneath it.
A stable platform planned around the loft
A dependable floor needs more than boards screwed wherever they happen to fit. We spread loads across the supporting structure and work around pipes, cables, tanks and roof timbers. This helps create an even platform while keeping ventilation routes open, which can limit moisture and condensation risks. Our BBA-approved raised systems have recognised performance credentials, and most Cardiff installations take one to two days depending on size and complexity. We protect the access route through your home, clear our working area and inspect the finished floor for snags after completion.
Frequently asked questions
Can boards be fitted over deep loft insulation?
Yes, but they shouldn't rest directly on it. We use a suitable raised system so the floor sits above the insulation. This keeps the storage surface firm while preserving the insulation depth and the airflow allowed for in the design.
Which raised boarding system will my loft need?
We decide after inspecting the joists, trusses, insulation, services and available height. Depending on the structure, we may recommend LoftZone, Loft-E adjustable legs or a solid raised timber subframe.
How much of the loft should we board?
That depends on your storage volume, access route and the shape of the roof. We can create a focused platform or a broader floor, avoiding areas where tanks, services or very low headroom make boarding less useful.
