  • Loft boarding...

    Victorian house...

    Raised floors to not crush the existing insulation?
    something posh/branded like this - https://www.loftzone.co.uk/product/storefloor/
    or any old loft legs from Wickes/Screwfix?

    And is there any need to replace existing stuff or is it likely to be fine as long as it's deep enough.

    And any particular gotchas for someone fairly handy but by no means pro...

  • How thick is the insulation? Ours was about ~300mm deep, which is recommended. Used some loft legs on the beams, then some planks to join them which made boarding with standard boards a doddle. Someone on here did recommend that loftzone stuff as pretty easy/sturdy to do.

    Edit: insulation looks compressed here, but it fumfed back up quite well.

  • Thanks, and @rj too

    Insulation looks like it's the right depth already. Have gone ahead and ordered some of the Loftzone supports this morning. Chipboard, lighting and loft ladder next.
