Bricklaying- 11 Mar 2023
The builder came to build a single skim brick wall to the side entrance of my house -: around 120 bricks. He agreed to £300 for labour including inserting a door. Upon arrival, of which he came on foot, he had no tools, no bucket, no drill, no ladder. He had to borrow all of my husbands equipment and sent my husband out for extra materials on two occassions. The lintel he asked us to order was the wrong size, we ordered one that was far too big and wasted more money due to him measuring up the job wrong - again a waste of money. Then, we had to drive him to toolstation to buy a brick cutting tool because of this using our own time and fuel. You would assume a brick layer would have tools if they are doing jobs privately - his colleagues excuse was we are just starting up our private buisness. He then started asking for more money and stormed off leaving all the rubbish behind even though we gave him the £300 as agreed prior to the job. The wall itself is okay but again at one point he refused to build up to the top because of a metal screw apparently impossible to remove, so yet again my husband had to assist with the job and removed the screw. Honestly more hassle than it was worth. Also the door was not fitted so now will need to pay someone else to do the job. I do feel bad for them that do not have any equipment but when you pay money for a job you do expect a certain level of service. I wish them good luck in the future and hope they take this advise on board.

Loft Conversion- 31 May 2022
I agreed a price and schedule of works with Muli (Flamur Marku). The day before, he changes the start time from 9am to noon. On the day, I call him at noon, to ask if he is still attending. To which he replies, "I was just about to call you, I'll be there in an hour". I say to him that it is not a good start to our business relationship. That he should at least have informed me that he would not be attending. He said, just forget it then, and put the phone down. I want to warn other customers of his potential short comings, and to have other potential builders on hand.

Rubin and Sahil are both con men, STAY AWAY FROM THEM. My job was to fit a 29 windows and 6 doors, the quote was average. When they came to look at the job they sounded like they know their stuff. But they know shit. Having to redo all the windows, kicked them off site. Taking money everyday. STAY AWAY.

Landscaping- 16 Jun 2026
I would strongly advise others to think carefully before hiring this gardener. The patio he installed has been left in an unacceptable condition, with numerous slabs unevenly laid, some sticking up significantly higher than others and creating obvious trip hazards. There are also areas where slabs have sunk, gaps and inconsistencies throughout the paving, and the overall finish is far below what I would expect from a professional tradesperson. I have photographs showing the defects. When I raised my concerns, I was assured on 13 May 2026 that he would return to rectify the issues when he was next in the area. Despite this promise, I have received no further contact and the work remains unresolved. What was equally disappointing was the lack of professionalism throughout. I was uncomfortable with some of the comments made during the job, which I felt were completely inappropriate and unprofessional.

Extensions- 27 Mar 2026
We were in a contract with this builder for building of front wall, porch, rear extension and external insulation. The works began on 1st of April and the work was meant to be completed in five weeks. However, till this date the work remains incomplete. All the jobs done by this builder are incomplete. The jobs that have been done are not to a satisfactory level. The front render done by the builder has gaps and the stop beads have not been fitted in places. The render done to rear extension is coming away and stop beads have not been fitted. The gate on the front wall was not fitted properly. The front door fitted by him does not latch correctly. During his work, one of the roof windows has been cracked which he agreed to replace but has not been done. The window upstands are not done according to the manufacturing guidelines. We have been patient and co-operated with his demands and situations. The payment schedule drawn by the builder was in advance of the works.

When to consider loft boarding instead of a loft conversion

If you need more storage space but aren't planning a full renovation, loft boarding is often the smarter, more affordable option. Here's a quick guide to help you decide which route makes sense for your home. Choose loft boarding if:

You need accessible storage without major structural work
Your budget is limited - boarding typically costs a fraction of a full conversion
You want a faster turnaround - most boarding jobs complete in a day or two
Your loft already has adequate headroom for storage use

Consider a loft conversion if:

You need a new room - a bedroom, home office, or bathroom
You want to add significant value to your property
You have sufficient headroom (typically 2.2m or more) and structural capacity
You're prepared for planning permission and a longer build timeline

Loft boarding and loft conversions serve very different needs, but both start with finding the right tradespeople for the job. If you're still weighing up your options, you can find out more and connect with loft conversion companies near you on MyBuilder.

How much does a loft boarding service cost?

Loft boarding services typically cost between £500 and £2,000 for a standard home. This can depend on the size of your loft, the materials used, and any extras like hatch upgrades or lighting.

Here's an overview of common loft boarding costs:

Basic refresh (small area, simple boards over joists): around £500–£1,000
Full boarding with insulation protection: from £1,000-£2,000
Larger loft with platforms, shelving, or access stairs: £2,000-£3,500+

Questions to ask local loft boarding companies before hiring

Before hiring a loft boarding service near you, asking the right questions upfront can save you time, money, and surprises on the day.

Have you boarded lofts with a similar layout or access to mine?

Not all lofts are the same. Narrow hatches, low headroom, unusual joist spacing, or tight roof angles can all affect how a job is approached and priced. Ask whether they've worked on lofts like yours specifically, not just loft boarding in general, so you know they won't be figuring it out on the day.

Will you check my joists before boarding - and what happens if there's a problem?

A responsible loft boarding company will inspect your joists before laying any boards. Weak, damaged, or non-standard joists can affect the load the floor can safely bear.

Ask what they'll do if they find an issue, whether that means additional work, a revised quote, or bringing in a structural specialist.

Do you use raised boarding systems or standard boarding, directly onto the joists?

This matters more than many homeowners realise. Standard boarding laid directly on joists can compress the insulation underneath, reducing its effectiveness and potentially increasing your energy bills.

Raised boarding systems sit above the insulation and preserve it. Ask which approach they recommend for your loft and why.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Always ask to see proof of public liability insurance before work begins. This protects you if anything is accidentally damaged or someone is injured on site. A professional loft boarding company should be able to provide this without hesitation, if they can't, treat it as a red flag.

Can you provide a full written quote with a breakdown of costs?

Ask for a detailed quote covering materials, labour, any hatch or access work, and clean-up.

A written quote makes it easy to compare different loft boarding services fairly and ensures there are no unexpected costs when the job is done. If a company is reluctant to put anything in writing, that tells you something.

FAQ: Your questions about loft boarding services answered

How long does loft boarding take?

A simple loft boarding job might take one to two days, while a full install with insulation protection or hatch work can run three to five days, depending on loft size and any complications like weak joists. Once you've found a service on MyBuilder, discuss their timeline and availability before confirming the booking.

Do I need planning permission for loft boarding?

You usually don't need planning permission for internal loft boarding, as it's not a structural change or conversion. However, always check with your local council if you're adding stairs or electrics. If you're unsure, the loft boarding companies you connect with on MyBuilder can often advise on this before work begins.

Should I board my whole loft or just part of it?

It depends on your needs. Smaller households might board just a section for seasonal storage, while larger families opt for full-loft boarding to maximise space without compressing insulation. A loft boarding specialist on MyBuilder can assess your loft and recommend the best approach for your situation.

How much weight can loft boards safely hold?

Standard loft boarding holds around 40-50kg per square metre, which is suitable for storage boxes and general household items. Heavier loads, such as gym equipment or dense archive storage, will need reinforced joists. A professional will check this as part of the job before any boards go down.

Can I DIY my loft boarding?

DIY loft boarding can work for small areas if you're comfortable working at height and confident with tools. That said, a professional will carry out joist checks, protect your insulation correctly, and ensure the load is safely distributed, reducing the risk of falls, structural issues, or compressed insulation that could affect your home's energy efficiency.

Will loft boarding affect my home's insulation?

This is one of the most common concerns with loft boarding, and it's worth raising with any company you're considering. Standard boarding installed directly on joists can compress insulation and reduce its effectiveness. Many loft boarding specialists offer raised boarding systems designed to sit above insulation, keeping your home warmer and your energy bills lower.

What is the difference between loft boarding and a loft conversion?

Loft boarding creates usable floor space for storage within your existing loft. A loft conversion transforms the space into a habitable room, such as a bedroom or office, and typically involves structural work, insulation, windows, and planning permission. Boarding is quicker, cheaper, and less disruptive, but if you need a liveable room, a conversion is definitely the route to take.
