Reclaim Your Wasted Space
Is your home feeling cluttered? A professionally boarded loft is by far the most cost-effective way to drastically increase your home's storage capacity without the immense stress and expense of an extension.
The Danger of Incorrect Boarding
Many DIY enthusiasts screw standard wooden boards directly onto existing ceiling joists. This completely crushes the 300mm of insulation underneath down to just 100mm. Compressed insulation loses over 50% of its thermal efficiency and causes damp.
The GS Raised System
- The Structural Matrix: We construct a robust matrix using reinforced Loft Legs or a custom timber sub-frame that sits completely above your insulation.
- Heavy-Duty OSB Panels: We secure premium, heavy-duty structural OSB (Oriented Strand Board) panels across this frame.
- Vital Airflow Maintained: Our system maintains a crucial 50mm air gap between the insulation and the boards, allowing your loft to breathe.
We turn a hazardous, dusty obstacle course into a pristine, easily accessible storage room in just 1 to 2 days.

Can I screw boards directly to my joists?
No. Screwing boards directly to your joists compresses your insulation down to around 100mm, destroying its thermal efficiency and risking damp. We use raised structural loft legs instead.
Is the raised boarding strong enough to walk on?
Yes. We secure heavy-duty structural OSB (Oriented Strand Board) panels across the reinforced frame, creating an incredibly strong and safe platform.
Will boarding my loft affect my NHBC warranty?
Compressing your insulation will void your warranty. Our raised boarding system sits completely above the insulation, protecting both it and your warranty.
