Advice and experience on loft conversion for storage


Bubster

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.


Have you had your loft converted for storage purposes only - i.e. boarded - not a full conversion? We are looking to do this and would like to hear your experiences, good and bad. Can't find an existing thread on here about this topic.


If you are a builder and do this sort of work and would be interested on quoting for the job, please PM me.


Many thanks and happy December!

I had mine part boarded years ago.


Someone basically just screwed sheets of some kind of, I think, chipboard (don't want to go up and see!) over the existing insulation, presumably onto the laths? Don't know what the technical term is.


It didn't take any special expertise, you could probably do it yourself :)

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
