Loft Boarding Installation in Stockport

Creating extra storage space in a new build home

John from Stockport had recently moved into a new build property and, after downsizing, needed more storage space. To make the most of the loft, he chose to have the entire loft boarded with safe, easy access and lighting installed.

We completed the job in 2 days, turning the loft into a practical storage area while keeping everything compliant with insulation and airflow requirements.

Project details

  • Location: Stockport

  • Property type: New build

  • Loft size: 420 sq ft

  • Job duration: 2 days

  • Project cost: £2,345

What we installed

  • Full loft boarding across the entire loft

  • Pendant light

  • PVC insulated loft hatch

  • Aluminium sliding loft ladder

What we did

Because this was a new build property, we installed a raised loft leg and timber subframe system. This is the correct way to board a new build loft, as it raises the boarding above the required insulation depth in line with NHBC guidelines.

This method also maintains the important airflow gap between the insulation and the loft boarding, helping protect the loft space while creating strong, usable storage.

The result is a clean, safe, and practical loft storage area that makes a big difference for homeowners who need extra space after moving or downsizing.
