Loft boarding, when expertly executed by a competent handyperson, can be a game-changer for homeowners seeking to optimise their living space and storage solutions.

This expertise prevents potential safety hazards, as improperly installed loft boards can have an impact on the structural integrity of the house. A skilled handyman will be familiar with insulation requirements and will ensure that any insulation present is not compressed, thus maintaining the energy efficiency of the home. (16935)
