Unlock valuable storage space in your home with expert loft boarding from L.W. Lofts. We install raised and standard loft boarding across Canterbury and South East Kent — without compromising your insulation or energy efficiency.
Loft boarding is one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can make. Here's why thousands of Kent homeowners are choosing to board their lofts.
Transform your unused loft into a safe, accessible storage area. The perfect place for Christmas decorations, suitcases, and seasonal items you don't need every day.
Our raised boarding system sits above your insulation rather than compressing it. This means your loft stays energy-efficient while giving you a solid, level floor.
A professionally boarded loft with safe access is a genuine selling point. Buyers value homes with well-organised storage — it's an investment that pays for itself.
Combined with proper insulation, loft boarding helps regulate your home's temperature. Reduce heat loss through the roof and cut your energy bills year-round.
No more balancing on joists or worrying about putting a foot through the ceiling. Professional loft boarding provides a solid, even surface you can walk on safely.
Free up rooms, cupboards, and garages by moving items into your newly boarded loft. A tidy home starts with smart storage — and your loft is the answer.

The cost of loft boarding depends on the size of the area to be boarded, whether raised boarding is needed, and any additional work such as ladders or insulation upgrades. L.W. Lofts offers free home surveys with no-obligation quotes so you get an accurate, upfront price with no hidden costs.
Raised loft boarding uses a system of legs (such as Loft Legs) to elevate the boarding above your insulation. This prevents compression of your insulation, which would reduce its effectiveness and increase your heating bills. If your property has 270mm+ of insulation — especially new builds — raised boarding is the recommended approach, and it's what we specialise in.
Not when it's done correctly. Traditional boarding laid directly on joists compresses insulation and reduces its effectiveness. Our raised boarding system sits above the insulation, maintaining its full depth and thermal performance. This means you get usable storage space without any increase in heat loss or energy bills.
Most loft boarding installations are completed within a single day. A standard 10sqm area typically takes around 3 to 5 hours. Larger areas of 35sqm or installations that include ladders, hatches, and lighting may take a full day. We always aim to finish everything in one visit.
Absolutely — new builds are one of our specialities. New-build homes typically have deep insulation (270mm–400mm) which means standard boarding methods would compress it and breach building regulations. As a Loft Leg recommended installer, we use raised boarding systems specifically designed for new builds to give you storage space without affecting your insulation.
