Solve Your Storage Problems and Reduce Heating Bills in Maidstone

Absolutely. Our raised loft boarding system is specifically designed with safety in mind for your loft space. This system is engineered to support the weight of stored items without compromising safety. Additionally, we conduct thorough checks to ensure that electrical wiring and insulation are properly installed before installing the loft boarding, further enhancing safety measures. We are an approved installer of Loft Zone: the only BBA approved system on the market.

Loft boarding and hobby rooms do not require planning permission.

Most installations can be done in just 1 day. Depending on the size and complexity of your loft it could take longer.

Yes. Loft boarding creates storage space that can add up to 100% more space to an average property. This attracts potential buyers and raises the value of your home.

The recommended is about 270mm. This is fine for newer houses, but older properties may need additional airflow created so as not to suffocate the loft.

Yes, you can. It’s often said when you buy a new house that you shouldn’t go into the loft. This of course isn’t practical. As long as the floor is raised above the insulation for airflow and the structure is strengthened then it’s absolutely fine. We’ve done over 2000 new builds so far without any problems. We also have our own £1million public liability insurance but we’ve never had to use it.

Yes, you can. We accept all major credit cards. We usually take payment via bank transfer but if you would rather spread the cost by using a credit card then just let us know.

We always use the bigger 2.4m x 0.6m 18mm moisture resistant tongue and groove P5 boards. They last much longer than the small boards from DIY shops which are much weaker and degrade quickly.

We use treated timber to raise most of our floors. It’s a much stronger way to do it and it strengthens the whole structure. With older properties where some of the old joists might have weak points, running timber in the opposite direction to the original ones spreads and distributes the weight more evenly. We’ve tested our floors to 1/4 of a ton per sqm without any movement at all.

Yes, you can. If you have a truss roof (which are usually used for houses built from the 1990’s) they can be made longer but usually not wider because the trusses can’t be cut. If you have an older house, they can be extended any way. We can then fit you a new custom cut drop-down loft hatch.

The loft is usually the biggest room in your house but most of us just leave it untouched because it seems so inaccessible. Here at Kent Loft Boarding we can change that by installing one of our high quality loft ladders and turn your loft back into a part of your house and your life.
