Storage Design Dilemma DIY

Loft Boarding and Insulation

4 years ago

How much does it generally cost to install Insulation and board out a loft for storage purposes. We have been quoted £1400. Is this roughly the price we're looking at?

Thanks

I guess it depends on how big your loft is and what insulation you have already.

Did the quotation break down into labour and materials ? Is this something that you may be able to undertake yourselves, to save on labour costs ?

Have you thought about installing slatwall in your garage? Handiwall is a great way to get all of your garage necessities hung up and organized and since it takes the clutter off of the floor you will have plenty of space for a work bench. I've attached a few pictures as examples of garages with our HandiWall that allows people to have their garage set up just the way they'd like it. For more information don't hesitate to give us a call or email us at info@handisolutions.com or visit www.handisolutions.com.

Hello niamh6426, A nicely proportioned set of rooms.. Lovely features, nicely done! Bring the sofa in the opening further into the room so it doesn't block the flow... Ideally move it away from the french doors? So a few things to suggest here.. Why not paint above the picture rail the white to tie in with the ceiling.. the lavender and sage work nicely and so it really is which you might want to pick out.. I'm thinking of the chimney breast to bring it out into the room with even more focus..... A deeper purple/grey, charcoal or deeper olive green ... With any of these colours you could have some light charcoal accessories... Silk cushions etc.. The colours would also work with the existing wall paint. Rather like the charcoal colour and it would work with a slightly darker greyish purple too, so throws and other cushions could be also very complimentary.. :))

For storage purposes I guess you mean insulating the floor only? (this is what we did, so the wooden structure could still breathe like it was meant to do when built)

You don't need to be a seasoned builder to this yourself. Rockwool, 12/15mm ply and a tacker. But what size are the beams? Can they carry the amount of stuff you want to put up there?

your loft floor is likely to be 100mm 4 inches deep. The insulation should be quilt which is closer to 300mm deep. If they are doing it properly and building the floor up with new cross joists then overboarding that it should take 2-3 days. for an average loft. 250 per day each for 2 men plus a few hundred in materials . Not too far out. You could ask for a few quotes. These are very rough estimates and will vary enormously throughout the country

Thanks everyone, I've not actually been up there and measured. He said he could do it in a day.

Yes insulating the floor only. I don't think we could do it ourself.

I will look around a little more.

We had loft floor partially boarded about 2 year ago. Just above one room so about 3 sq meter and already had insulation. The boarding needed to be on stilts which screw to the joists so as to leave an air gap for the insulation to be effective. Think it cost about £500-600 and took one man a day to fit. Worth it as we can store things much better. I imagine the extra cost of insulation and larger area might be that kind of price but get a few quotes first.
