Loft Boarding Planning, Building Regulations & Warranty
No! Our raised loft boarding system is approved for use in new builds and doesn’t void your warranty. It’s the only system approved to board lofts over high insulation, without compressing or removing it.
BBA approved loft insulation has been rigorously tested and certified by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) to meet high standards of quality and safety. This certification ensures that the insulation is fit for purpose, providing confidence in its effectiveness and durability. BBA approved products undergo continuous inspection to maintain these high standards, ensuring they deliver reliable performance in loft spaces.
For internal work like loft boarding, planning permission is not required. However, building regulations may be relevant, but loft boarding itself does not require official approval.
About Loft Boarding
Standard loft boarding is not suitable for insulated lofts, particularly new builds. The timber subframe used to raise the floor is not high enough to avoid compressing insulation and can add unnecessary weight to the structure, potentially leading to damp and condensation. It has not been recommended for lofts since 2013.
Standard loft boarding is quick and cheap but not suitable for most modern or insulated lofts. It can lead to issues like condensation or damp. Raised loft boarding, on the other hand, prevents these problems by allowing air circulation beneath the boards, preserving the insulation and airflow.
Yes, absolutely! Our raised loft boarding solutions are designed for both modern and older homes. We can overcome challenges like uneven joists, limited loft space, or old water tanks, transforming your loft into a practical storage area.
Loft roof windows aren’t just for living spaces – they improve storage lofts too. Our roof windows provide:
- Natural light: Making your loft brighter and more welcoming.
- Energy efficiency: Featuring thermal glazing to reduce heat loss.
- Ventilation: Fresh air circulation, especially when paired with multiple windows for cross-ventilation.
- Ease of use: Centre-pivot windows with convenient operation and secure locking.
They’ll also add value to your home if you decide to sell.
Our system supports up to 500kg per m². However, we recommend 25kg per m² of static weight for safety, based on the underlying loft structure.
If your current loft hatch is too small, old, or energy-inefficient, it may be time for a replacement. We can install modern, insulated hatches to improve both accessibility and energy efficiency.
We offer a variety of loft ladders to suit your needs and budget:
- Aluminium Loft Ladders: From £200.
- Timber Wooden Loft Ladders: From £400.
