This has taken me the best part of 4 days work single handed, the hatch took me a whole day of that to complete on my own. To comply with all UK building regulations any electrical work should be carried out by a UK certified electrician.

The lights were also fitted by an electrician before I started the work as without decent light it would have been a much harder job. By using a loft leg this will raise the flooring above any insulating materials you have in between the joists, this space is essential to ensuring the insulating properties have room to breathe so they will be working to their best ability. Loft Legs are fitted in a grid , the dimensions of the grid will depend on the spacing of your ceiling joists or trusses and the size of the boards you are using.It is recommended that the screws are loaded into the base of the Loft Legs before taking them into the loft (movie link here). Loft insulation spacers are designed to avoid insulation compression when using your loft for storage. Developed by a team of engineers and designers the Loft leg is strong, lightweight and easy to install. Upgrading your insulation from 75mm to 250mm thick could reduce your heating bills by around 35- 75 per year depending on the size of the property.

I supply all my own materials and fully explain beforehand how your loft will be converted into a safe and easy to access storage area.

I am a competent DIYer and found the system easy to install and am very pleased the the final results. Having successfully installed a small square kit I have now bought extra cross beams and supports to complete the remaining attic space boarding. I like to start my reviews with feedback or negatives, I struggle to find any about the company or the product.

Then added the insulation put some floorboards down and then moved everything across to the other side and managed to do the other side. Products such as Loft Legs consist of ultra-strong, recycled plastic legs that create a raised platform strong enough to walk on and support storage items.For anyone who has a new build or an old build with added insulation then I’d say consider this product as the results are brilliant. While relatively inexpensive for materials the labour is not and the timber can add a huge amount of weight to the structure even before storage is added.

Loft Legs are strong and can support weights of 500kg however, they do not change the load bearing characteristics of a loft. The joists were awkwardly spaced and some of them a bit wonky, but the product is so cleverly designed that I got round the "period features" without much trouble.

The subframe is put in place across your joists and can be designed to match different spacings between joists. Only because the 600mm would of given me a much smaller floor area due to layout of the 100 year old loft.By purchasing from us we will add you to our monthly newsletter database, there is an option to unsubscribe at anytime from this. Put boards on top and they now feel absolutely solid and better insulation underneath and loads more storage. These products all consist of supporting structures to lift the boards above the current government recommended depth of quilt insulation. In fact, there is often a small gap for ventilation over the top of your insulation (we’ll talk more about this later). When you board over your insulation, it’s always a good idea to have a little extra room to allow it to breathe.
