The most convenient storage is not always at the far end of the roof. We consider the route from the ladder and the headroom available for reaching boxes.
For a loft with tanks, pipework or several sections, a defined walkway and selected storage zones may be more useful than one large deck. Services must remain accessible where required, and ventilation should not be blocked by the boarding or the belongings placed on it.
The deck height is chosen in relation to the insulation build-up and the installation system. That means considering the material below rather than simply fixing boards at the lowest possible level.
If your loft needs a top-up or replacement, our Solihull insulation service can be included. Planning the order together is particularly useful when old flooring needs removal before the insulation can be reached.
A ladder should work with the opening and the room beneath it. We assess the hatch, ceiling height, deployment space and the landing area at loft level.
We can discuss suitable hatch improvements if the current arrangement is restrictive. Any structural implications need appropriate assessment before alterations are agreed.
Tell us whether you are storing light seasonal items or heavier belongings. The suitability of the roof structure and boarding system needs to be assessed for the intended use; a large floor area is not a promise of unlimited capacity.
This service creates household storage and access. A habitable loft conversion, gym or office requires separate professional design.
Yes, that can be part of the layout. Identify what needs servicing so we can consider the appropriate route and working access.
The areas involved must be accessible. Photographs help us discuss how much needs moving and whether a clearance element should be priced.
Potentially, where the roof layout and structure allow. We assess the existing sections and the proposed link rather than assuming all platforms can be joined.
