"Thanks for the fantastic work done on our attic boarding, not only great value for money but a first class job from start to finish. We appreciate the meticulous attention to detail and the perfect finish. I have no reservations in making a recommendation to the team at Bolton Joinery. All the best."

The Extras

New Loft Hatch (or enlargement)

Sometimes your loft hatch is just not big enough or in the right place.

We can solve this problem by making it bigger or cutting a new one above the landing or in a bedroom. Our customers are surprised how little mess we make when we do this.

When this is done we can install a plastic hatch cover so it doesn't need painting or a wooden hatch so the architrave matches what's around your doors, your choice.

We can increase the size of your hatch or install a new one for only £119

(when added to a Loft Storage Deal above.)

Insulation

25-30% of the heat your home loses is through the roof.

This can easily be reduced. Installing top up insulation in your loft will do this.

See what the Energy Saving Trust say.

We can install loft insulation with any 'Full Cover' Deal for £40 per 5 square meters.

^ When we carry out one of the above deals.

A bit more comfort...

All of our loft ladders are built to take 23 stone in weight so forget the strength of them, a 3 inch flat tread however makes your assent a bit more comfortable - especially in your slippers!

We can fit a wooden loft ladder for an extra £219

(when added to a Loft Storage Deal above.)

This job includes increasing the size (and structure) of the hatch.

Do you have a very high ceiling (over 3 meters)?

If your ceiling is more than 3 meters we have a ladder for you.

We can fit a ladder for a ceiling height of up to 3.5m for £319

(when added to a Loft Storage Room above.)

Premium Loft Storage Rooms include all the extras

Fitting a ladder

Our ladders are the best quality aluminium loft ladder we know of and we hinge the hatch with a catch, insulate the hatch, bead it and draft proof it!

For a bit more comfort, we can install a folding wooden ladder.

Book it here.

Installing lighting

Fitting a light in the loft will make a big difference, especially if you are using the loft for storage.

We can fit a pendant light with an energy saving bulb and a pull switch and right now if you 'like' us on Facebook you'll get a free motion sensor! (which automatically turns the light on when you enter the loft).

When you have 6 or more 8ft x 2ft boards we are upgrading the light to a fluorescent fitting for free!

Laying loft boarding

Do you need storage? The boards we use are perfect for this, they're strong, moisture resistant and inexpensive, they're even FSB labeled (supporting the growth of responsible forest management).

This loft was boarded and the customer gained an extra 12 square metres of storage space in his house, perfect when there's another baby on the way!

Loft boards come at 8ft x 2ft and are tongue and grooved so they fit together better and are more rigid when laid, unlike the small ones commonplace in your 'diy' store (these boards are 1ft x 3ft and too small to do a great job, there are more joints and therefore more weakness).

Floor boarding will also help insulate the house preventing heat loss, reducing your heating bills!

Insulating the roof space

An un-insulated house loses a quarter of it's heat through the roof.

We run loft insulation in the space between your rafters under the roofing material leaving a cavity for air flow.

Insulating your home properly will probably save you about £175 per year and around 800g of CO2 (according to the Energy Savings Trust- based on a 3 bed semi).

We insulated the roof of one of these houses (guess which one) in Horwich during the winter, I asked the customer if he'd noticed any change in the gas bill, his answer was, "Oh yes, our house is the last one in the street with snow on the roof." Thought I'd pop round for some evidence.

We will insulate your loft from as little as £169 including insulating material.

Want more room in your home?

A living room in a 3 bed semi is typically around 16 square meters. When we board the loft in this house we add around 23 square meters of extra storage!

Imagine the space you could create in the rooms you use every day by having Bolton Joinery board a room you never use (your loft), make it accessible and fit a simple light fitting?

Clean and warm

Bolton Joinery use a raised loft floor system that makes sure your insulation works properly, we install LoftNet that stops debris falling down onto your valuable stored items, we can top up your insulation and we fully insulate and draught proof your new loft hatch.
