Safe, Structural Loft Storage in Wraysbury
Reclaiming your wasted roof space safely is our specialty in Wraysbury. We strictly refuse to board directly over joists, as this compresses insulation and voids NHBC warranties on newer builds. Instead, our technicians expertly install a specialised raised boarding framework. This timber or Loft Leg sub-frame supports specialised structural panels, allowing you to walk freely and store bulky items without fear of damaging your ceiling below. This innovative approach ensures that your Wraysbury home gains the equivalent of an entire extra room's worth of storage space without ever sacrificing its essential thermal efficiency or structural ventilation.
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 Wraysbury 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.
