Raised loft boarding — supply & fit

Boarding that protects your insulation.

Raised loft boarding fitted across Merseyside and the North West — a rock-solid storage deck on a raised sub-frame above your 270mm insulation, with airflow underneath. Most lofts finished in a day.

Never board straight onto the joists.

Squashing 270mm of insulation down to 100mm can cut its performance by more than half — and invites condensation. Every NWL install uses a raised sub-frame, so insulation stays lofted, air keeps moving and your ceilings stay dry.

The NWL system

Storage above. Performance below.

Our raised boarding is a proper engineered deck, not sheets thrown over the wool. Here's what goes into every install:

  • Raised sub-frame steel-and-timber cradles lift the deck clear of full-depth 270mm insulation.
  • 18mm P5 boards moisture-resistant tongue-and-groove chipboard, screwed down — no bounce, no squeaks.
  • Airflow protected cross-ventilation maintained beneath the deck to keep condensation at bay.
  • Neat finish trimmed edges and an optional LED loft light, switched at the hatch.

Questions

Before you book.

Can you board over my existing insulation?

Yes — that's exactly what the raised sub-frame is for. The deck sits above full-depth 270mm insulation with an airflow gap beneath, so nothing gets compressed and nothing stops working.

How much weight will a boarded loft take?

The sub-frame spreads loads across your ceiling joists, which comfortably handles normal household storage — boxes, cases, decorations. We assess your joists on the free survey and give you clear guidance for your loft.

Will boarding cause condensation?

Boarding pressed straight onto insulation can. Our raised system keeps air moving beneath the deck and your insulation fully lofted, which is how you avoid it.

Do you move what's already up in the loft?

Yes. Shifting and re-stacking your existing boxes is part of the job — you don't need to empty the loft before we arrive.

Can I board just part of the loft?

Absolutely. A starter zone around the hatch is our most popular first job, and because the sub-frame is modular you can extend it any time.
