We will never cut corners, or use sub-standard materials to compete against other non compliant companies, that have cheaper prices than ours.

Yorkshire Loft Boarding recommend that the loft flooring is suitable for storage only, and not to be used for living purposes. Examples of acceptable items are:- suitcases, plastic/cardboard storage boxes, toys, clothes, shoes, Christmas tree & decorations.

Try and spread the weight of heavy items across the storage space, rather than stacking it in the same area. And if you are struggling to lift a box into the loft, then it’s too heavy.

ENERGY SAVING LOFT HATCHES

Some companies may not consider changing your loft hatch to keep the cost down, but this is a false economy as you will not benefit from a fully insulated and draft seal new one.
Reversing your old loft hatch and sticking some hinges on it is just no acceptable these days.
If you loft hatch is of a certain age, does not fold down to open or just simple need making bigger, then the best option is to have a brand new PVC purpose made loft hatch with a high energy efficiency rating fitted.

This will certainly increase your home energy efficiency and that will save you lots on your heating bills.
No point spending money insulating your loft but neglecting the door that lead in to it. Our qualified loft surveyors will advise you on the best replacement energy saving loft hatch your requirements.

We even do bespoke metal energy saving loft hatches that we can make to order exactly the size you need.
Light duty and heavy duty large wide tread timber loft ladders with a large opening access door if you want bigger access. Again these can be off the shelf and bespoke, it all depend on what is best for your loft space.
Also we can install remote control timber loft access kits which operate the door opening electronically save having to reach up to open it.

ENERGY SAVING RAISED LOFT FLOORS

We are probably the only company in the UK that actually has their own uniquely designed and built loft storage sub-frame supported floor.
The loft storage supports are purpose build to allow you to have built a strong and safe loft storage floor that doesn't compromise the insulation or cause issues with your ceiling.

The older and still quite common method of boarding lofts are no longer recommended in new build or older houses, especially with weak ceilings.
Boarding directly to the joists or slightly above means that the insulation below will have to be squashed or removed to allow timber to go down. The government recommend and building regulations state that a minimum of 270mm of insulation should be fitted to the ceiling as this is the most energy efficient and cost effective way to insulate your home. If the floor you intent to build in your loft is not high enough then you have to compromise by removing or squashing the insulation which is complete wrong.

Removing insulation will reduce your energy efficiency and this will no doubt contribute to an increase in your heating bills.
Squashing it will stop air flow inside the insulation and when this gets moist with the rapid temperature changes, the air flow in your loft will never completely dry out the trap moisture and ultimately this will lead to bad condensation and mould growth. If this grows inside your insulation it will contaminate it and more than likely spread to your timbers and plaster boarding.

We only install 270mm PLUS high strong loft storage floors that can take your self and the storage weight safely and retain your homes energy efficiency.

The 3 raised loft storage floors we do vary depending on the age of a property and its requirements.
Ask our surveyor to show you LOFT-E™ the heavy duty with adjustable metal legs or the LoftZone™ tri-supporting cross bean system or the LBNW™ 100% 4x2 timber constructed raised sub-frame ideal for older house with weaker ceilings.
