Squashing your existing insulation with heavy boards can reduce its effectiveness by up to 50%. This not only makes your home colder but can violate current UK Building Regulations regarding thermal performance.To prevent this, we install a modern raised loft leg system. This creates a sturdy, load-bearing framework above your insulation layer, allowing for optimal airflow and preventing dampness or condensation build-up in your roof space.

Doing so can put undue stress on your ceiling joists. During our initial survey, we will assess the strength of your timber frame and advise you on the safe load-bearing limits for your specific property.If you have any concerns about the suitability of your attic space, our experienced carpenters are always happy to provide honest, practical advice.
