Loft Flooring & Boarding
Creating a reliable loft storage room starts with a durable, load-bearing floor capable of holding heavy items. For expert loft boarding reinforcement or new loft flooring installation, speak with your trusted local team at Wow Loft, serving Cambridge, Harlow, London, and nationwide. We specialize in upgrading loft spaces to make them safe, strong, and storage-ready.
At Wow Loft, we take the time and care to board your loft in a way that makes the space easy to access and practical to use, while still ensuring the integrity of your loft insulation is maintained. We achieve this through raised loft flooring in many cases, creating a gap between the boards and your insulation. This prevents the insulation from being compressed, helping it retain its energy-efficient properties and perform at its best.

Do I Need Approval to Install Loft Boarding?
The great news about loft boarding installation is that it typically falls under permitted development rights, meaning you do not require planning permission if you are simply using the loft for storage. As long as the work doesn’t involve significant structural changes or the creation of a habitable space, you can proceed with boarding your loft without needing to navigate the complexities of planning permission or building regulations.
If you have any other questions about planning permission or regulations, feel free to reach out. As a professional loft boarding company, we would be happy to put your mind at ease and guide you through the process.

Give us a call today to book your appointment and find out more.
Yes, you absolutely can install loft flooring and boarding in your new build home. In fact, many new build properties are perfect for creating additional storage space. By choosing a professional company like ours, you won’t need to worry about affecting your NHBC warranty. Get in touch to find out how we can help you maximize your loft space without compromising your warranty.
What you choose to store in your newly boarded loft is entirely up to you. Most homeowners use their loft space to store seasonal and rarely-used items, keeping them safe, dry, and out of the way. Common items include suitcases, Christmas decorations, books, photographs, and old clothes. However, it’s important to spread the weight of your items evenly and ensure you don’t exceed the maximum weight capacity your loft can safely support.
Yes, most lofts with professional loft boarding or flooring can safely support the weight of a person when properly installed. However, you will need sufficient headroom to stand fully. Once your loft is boarded, it should comfortably support the weight of a single person, allowing easy access to your storage space.
Yes, absolutely! By boarding your loft, you create additional storage space, which is a highly attractive feature for potential buyers. Not only does it provide extra room, but it also saves buyers from having to do the work themselves. This added convenience can increase your home's value, making it more appealing and valuable compared to similar properties without loft boarding. Learn more about the benefits of loft boarding here.
Loft boarding, when done professionally, will not negatively impact your insulation. At Wow Loft, our expert team ensures that your insulation remains intact, working around the required thickness to prevent compression and allowing adequate ventilation. We even offer raised loft flooring to maintain your home’s thermal efficiency. Check out our loft insulation guide for more details.
Donna Richardson2025-01-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So I was very happy with my loft hatch that was fitted 2 months ago but I've been up there for the first time today and it's so cheaply made compared to my old one it's shocking really cheap quality and a real hassle to try and close very disappointed now to be honest it's ashame you don't show people samples of the materials and explain how good the quality is for each hatch such ashame as I was going to get my ladder with you but I'm not so sure now as the quality maybe cheap like the hatch. Int A.2024-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked the loft leader fitting service with the Loft Ladder & loft storage Company, the communication from start to finish has been excellent, even though I ultimately decided to go for a different package with them. Josh and Alex were incredibly professional & demonstrated a wealth of knowledge about loft conversions and maximising loft space. Their honesty and pleasant attitude made me go for the company’s other service. I would definitely like Josh and Alex to handle the work for my upcoming loft storage project. Thank you once again. Lilly W2024-02-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An excellent service provided by competent, helpful and efficient people. Highly recommended. Charlie B.2024-01-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic company, reliable and lovely staff from the man who came to get the details for my quote to the lovely guys who did the work throughly and neatly as possibly. Everyone was upfront and really clear and work done to a really high standard. C S2023-12-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional company - Dominic on customer service and Ben installing the loft ladder today - not an easy task with 3 meter height, moving lights and integrated smoke alarm- nothing is too troublesome. Professional, courteous, can do attitude. Neat work and tidy. Rarely do you see companies these days who are value for money and provide an exceptional service. Thank you very much and carry on doing what you’re doing so well ! Gordon Pfeiffer2023-11-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having had so many issues with builders my confidence is now restored after using these guys. They have been absolutely amazing. Came to quote on time. Easy to communicate with. Arrived on time as promised. Left no dirt. Made every effort and involved us where needed. The builders itself are fantastic and friendly guys. The end result is amazing. Hard to believe a scary dingy attic has been replaced now into a room which we will use as office. Thank you guys. Can’t recommend them enough. Lei Ching Hung2023-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben, came over, laid down a dust mat all the way up the stairs, and quickly assessed the hatched. I wanted the ladder to be orientated a certain way which he happily executed. Within an hour he was done. He demonstrated the hatch and ladder. I have bad arthritis but i was able to get up and down with minimal effort. Ben took his time and explained the 'nacks' on how to work the hatch and ladder. I'm very happy with the result Nigel Ridgers2023-06-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did not show up to the appointment and did not make us aware that they were going to be late; apparently trying to call my partner, (who was at work and unable to take the call) one time was enough for them to consider it taken care of. No idea why an email was out of the question. When trying to contact them, I received a snippy email response stating that they had tried to call to let my partner know that there was a one hour delay (on our 2 hour time slot) and not an iota of an apology, at which point I cancelled the appointment and informed them we'd be looking elsewhere, to which the response was simply "I'm sorry" and nothing else. No idea what the actual work is like, but their customer service seems to be severely amateur. Mónica2023-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Board the loft floor with high grade moisture resistant chipboard and install a ladder. It took them 4 hours. From the sales person to the workers all very professionals, great customer service, customer journey and communication. Quotations, explanations, invoices and guarantee sent by email and post just paying 20% of deposit before, the rest at the end if we were happy. They worked carefully, clean and they all were really kind and pleasant. They also reminded me before leaving the three years of warranty we have. Strongly recommended. Wonderful business.👏👏 Dave England2022-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found The Loft Storage Room Company to be professional, competitive and easy to deal with. The work (full loft storage room) was conducted quickly and to a high standard. I would highly recommend using this company.
