Instaloft came and worked on my 2019 built home today. Every step of the process has been a good experience from initial contact through to the survey through to the installation.We had an enlarged hatch which meant moving our smoke alarm and Instaloft’s own electrician came and did this as part of the install package. They installed a ladder, grab rail and boarded out the centre of the loft area on stilts taking care to avoid existing infrastructure and insulation. I really like how they neaten the edges around the raised areas.

I asked for some amendments to the plan on the day and the fitters were only more than happy to amend. Good price for the fab quality of finish provided and the lifetime guarantee gives me the peace of mind i needed. Great service all round (2nd time ive used Instaloft and both times was a great experience!)

Excellent work – speedy and professional service. I’m too scared of heights to go up into the loft myself so they kindly took pictures for me.

Recently hired Instaloft for loft boarding, ladders and new hatch. Very impressed with the service from first communication to the fitting. Richard came round to do my survey and was very friendly, pleasant and made all my options very clear to me. On the day of fitting I had the pleasure of welcoming Taz thier lead installer along with Owen and trainee Andy. .They all worked in a very professional and friendly manner. The boarding and ladders fitted are to very high standard. Cosmeticly the new hatch looks far more superior than our previous one. All in all a fantastic company to deal with, supplying a great product and fabulous customer service.

What's The Difference Between Raised and Standard Loft Boarding

At Instaloft, we specialise in exclusively installing a raised loft floor system for homeowners, check out the video below to better understand the difference between standard and raised loft boarding.

Why choose our raised Loft Boarding over Standard Loft Boarding?

Instaloft is proud to have become the UK’s leading installer of the award-winning LoftZone StoreFloor raised loft boarding system. 


The raised loft floor system is British-made from Buildings-Grade recycled plastics and loft boards made from fully recycled materials making our loft boarding a sustainable option. The system is BBA-approved, meaning LoftZone StoreFloor can be fitted in new build homes without affecting your NHBC warranty.


Offering nationwide coverage our friendly team of expert fitters will complete your installation quickly and efficiently creating a loft space that will revolutionise your home. 


It’s no wonder that we have been entrusted with the installation of LoftZone raised loft floor in thousands of homes throughout the UK.

Loft Boarding FAQs

It is not recommended to install loft boards directly to a joist or truss. The correct process would be to fit a raised system like LoftZone  to your trusses or ceiling joists, this will raise the boards above the insulation. You can then install loft boards on the raised subframe to create an elevated platform.

You should not insulate directly onto a boarded loft, a gap should be created with loft legs to ensure the condensation does not occur.

The NHBC guarantee contains no policy that states loft boarding will invalidate your warranty. Any loft boarding must not impede the insulation or it will invalidate the warranty. Any reputable company will use raised loft boarding for this reason. 

Poor air circulation in the loft is what usually causes condensation. Lofts are designed to be cold spaces with air flowing in from the eaves and around the loft space. If the eaves are blocked or the membrane on the back of the roof tiles are not breathable, any moisture in the air will cause condensation.

Loft insulation top-ups are a sensible low cost exercise, the process involves fitting of additional insulating material on top of the existing loft insulation, this allows an additional layer of protection that complies to the current regulations. The recommended depth of insulation in the UK is 270mm.

Loft boarding is very strong and can support a significant amount of weight if it was placed on a solid base, however your roof joists are not thick and strong as the rafters in the floors of your living spaces and therefore you should not exceed the recommended static weight of 25 kg per square metre. The raised floor system can take it, but your roof rafters may not.

Many loft joists, especially in newer properties, are designed primarily to support the weight of the roof with only a small amount of storage capacity. The current British Standard minimum is 25 kg per square metre of static weight,plus the weight of anyone accessing the loft.

You can, but the loft boarding is for storage purposes and should not be used as an everyday living space.  If you intend to use the space as a living area, it will void any warranty offered and you could get into trouble with the local building control authorities.

As well as loft boarding, we offer a range of additional products and services to transform your dusty, dark and dangerous loft space into an easily accessible, energy-efficient storage area.
