Safe, Structural Loft Storage in Hungerford
If your home in Hungerford is feeling cluttered, our bespoke raised loft boarding system is the ultimate solution. Most properties have up to 50% of their footprint completely unused above the ceiling. We turn this hazardous, dusty obstacle course into a pristine, highly functional storage area in just 1 to 2 days. Our method involves installing a raised structural matrix that sits high above your 300mm insulation. By using premium, load-bearing OSB panels, we create a safe platform capable of holding hundreds of kilos of belongings. Crucially, this system maintains a 50mm air gap to let your Hungerford roof breathe naturally.
The Danger of Incorrect Boarding
Many DIY enthusiasts screw standard wooden boards directly onto existing ceiling joists. This completely crushes the 300mm of insulation underneath down to just 100mm. Compressed insulation loses over 50% of its thermal efficiency and causes damp.
If you live in Hungerford and are struggling for space, our raised structural boarding is the perfect solution. It's infinitely cheaper than an extension and installed in a fraction of the time.

Can I screw boards directly to my joists?
No. Screwing boards directly to your joists compresses your insulation down to around 100mm, destroying its thermal efficiency and risking damp. We use raised structural loft legs instead.
Is the raised boarding strong enough to walk on?
Yes. We secure heavy-duty structural OSB (Oriented Strand Board) panels across the reinforced frame, creating an incredibly strong and safe platform.
Will boarding my loft affect my NHBC warranty?
Compressing your insulation will void your warranty. Our raised boarding system sits completely above the insulation, protecting both it and your warranty.
