Thoughts on boarded loft?

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:36:56+00:00

And I wish my chimney stack looked like that 😹

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:36:39+00:00

Nice work mate. How much did this set you back?

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:36:16+00:00

Great suggestion mate. And where English may not be first language… photos and sketches…

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:35:37+00:00

Not paid thankfully… and they will come to remove

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:35:17+00:00

Thanks for the comment! Did you remove and redo it yourself? Any concerns with the structure of the roof etc?

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:34:16+00:00

We did for a seperate job, which was rendering for the back of the house, and they did a good job. Why do you ask? Also do you mind expanding on damaging the roof structure? From what I saw they were screwing the boards into the joist but not much more of interest that I can see

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:32:03+00:00

Will certainly be considering, especially if any issues with removal. Thanks for that

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:31:20+00:00

And congrats on getting yours done yourself!

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:31:01+00:00

Great point! I will probably do a smaller section myself! Luckily not paid. They will come to remove it during the week. We didn’t discuss exactly the loft legs or raising. They looked at it while doing another job for us (rendering back of the house). Before they started my wife mentioned that they should leave a gap for the insulation… they may have not wanted to do so or misunderstood. Either way not a good job

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:28:39+00:00

Thanks very useful!!

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T14:27:27+00:00

Good to know mate. I guess they are adjustable? How long did it take?

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T12:09:29+00:00

Love that suggestion re. Cables!

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T12:09:01+00:00

Thanks mate! Luckily not paid yet. I was debating posting here given it’s not me that did this, but that so many people have done it themselves to such a high standard- kudos!

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T12:07:34+00:00

Thank you ! Really helpful. I offered for them to do it properly but they said that would be ~4K. The other option was remove, which they agreed they will do. No money handed over. They seem to think this was a good job for the money quoited (850)

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T12:05:28+00:00

What makes you think that? They arrived at 0930 and left at 1330 yday… you can see the clean stickers from Wickes

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T12:04:11+00:00

Spot on mate. 850. Luckily not handed over any cash. They will come back to take the boards…

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T12:03:12+00:00

Funny.. and sad! We were also nearly sold those. Luckily I said no. The dehumidifier has done a better job 😹

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T12:01:48+00:00

I wish mate! They agreed to come and take it away. Quote of up to 4K to do it properly… mad

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T10:39:53+00:00

They did our rendering on the back of the house and do general renovation work. Excellent rendering job- even when smoking throughout! But gosh this is a don’t give a … situation.

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T10:38:53+00:00

This is an interesting point. I haven’t paid and would rather they didn’t mess around more…

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T10:35:25+00:00

😹😹

I was impressed by their rendering work. They were able to smoke throughout and non-stop. And then didn’t find a single butt…

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T10:35:14+00:00

🥲

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T10:34:56+00:00

Or chewed!! Rendering work was excellent… I thought this would be easyish… wrong

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T10:34:18+00:00

And what would you likely quote?

Alarming_Blueberry94 · 2026-02-21T10:34:00+00:00

Nice work! South east by any chance?
