Many homeowners reach a point where storage has seemingly been maximised in their home and they are running out of space. With moving home becoming more costly, disruptive and time consuming, homeowners are increasingly looking for a solution within their existing property.

One often overlooked way to add vital storage space to your home is by boarding your loft. But if you are asking “is loft boarding the solution I need?” you are certainly not alone.

In this blog we will address the most common questions we are asked about our raised loft boarding system, helping you decide whether it is the right investment for your home.

Is it expensive?

Cost is usually the first question homeowners ask, and understandably so. Loft boarding is an investment, but it is one that pays back over time. Creating safe and accessible storage can eliminate the need for external storage, rented units or garden sheds. Raised loft systems also protect insulation performance, which increases heat retention and supports long term energy savings.

So how much does it cost?

Our loft boarding solutions start from £895, depending on the size of the loft, the system installed, access upgrades and any additional insulation work.
To make the upgrade more accessible, we also offer finance options through Omni Finance, allowing customers to spread the cost in a way that suits their budget.

Will installation be disruptive?

Many people worry that loft boarding will cause upheaval in the home. In reality, most installations are completed within one day, especially in standard sized properties.

A priority for our in-house installers is to protect your home. Before work begins, they will lay dust sheets, use carpet protectors and ensure the surrounding area is protected. At the end of the installation, they will hoover up any mess and leave your home exactly as they found it.

The raised platforms we install also simplify the installation process, eliminating the need for structural alterations and allowing fast, efficient installation.

Will my insulation’s performance be affected?

A common concern is that boarding might flatten insulation or affect ventilation in the loft. These worries often come from older DIY methods. Modern raised loft boarding systems are specifically designed to sit above your insulation, protecting its full depth and allowing it to perform as intended.

Air can circulate beneath the raised boards, helping to maintain airflow and reduce the risk of condensation. Properly installed raised systems improve storage without negatively impacting energy performance.

Is my home suitable for Loft Boarding?

Some homeowners wonder whether loft boarding is right for their property. Most homes of standard construction are suitable for raised loft boarding.
A free assessment from one of our surveyors will confirm suitability and highlight the storage potential available.

What do customers say?

A key question many homeowners have is, “Will the installation feel professional and stress free?”
One recent Trustpilot review captures this perfectly:

“The whole experience from initial quote to signing off the completed job was a positive one. Dave, who did the quote, explained everything to me, and we had a discussion about what was best with no hard sell. Jason the fitter did a fantastic job too; he arrived on time worked hard all day and left the site immaculately clean. A great performance all round” – Trustpilot reviewer, November 2025. 

Feedback like this is one of the reasons customers feel confident choosing our service.

So, is loft boarding worth it?

If you have questions, you are not alone. However, when installed correctly, loft boarding is a practical and financially beneficial upgrade. It solves real space and organisation challenges while supporting insulation performance and energy efficiency.

For many homeowners, it is a smart and cost-effective way to improve their living space without the disruption or expense of moving.
