# Loft Boarding in DawleyOlder Telford housing, real storage
Dawley's older terraces and post-war estates were built with barely any storage. A raised deck, an extended hatch and a proper ladder give you a whole room back.

## Loft boarding for Dawley homes
Dawley is one of the older townships absorbed into Telford, and it sits only a few minutes from our base. We work throughout Dawley, Malinslee, Aqueduct, Horsehay, Lightmoor, Woodside and Little Dawley, with surveys arranged Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm.

The housing here is a mix of nineteenth-century terraces from the mining and ironworking era, mid-century estate housing, and later Telford development on the fringes at Lightmoor. Roof types swap between traditional cut roofs and modern trussed rafters over the space of a few streets, so an accurate quote genuinely depends on which side of the road you are on.

What Dawley homes share is a shortage of built-in storage. Small hallways, no garage and limited cupboard space push everything upstairs, which is why the most popular option here is the Basic or Premium package: raised boarding, a hatch you can pass a box through, a folding ladder and a light that works.

### Dawley at a glance

## Why choose The Little Loft Company in Dawley

### Right on your doorstep
Being based in Telford means Dawley surveys are quick to arrange and any follow-up is straightforward.

### Eight years in local lofts
We have worked in this style of housing for years: the low hatches, the shallow roofs and the ceiling joists people have been overloading for decades.

### Priced after a proper look
Every Dawley quote follows an in-person survey, so the written figure is the figure you pay.

### Guaranteed and insured
10-year workmanship guarantee, £1,000,000 public liability insurance and employers' liability cover.

## Common Dawley loft problems
Older Telford townships have their own recurring faults, and we see the same four constantly in Dawley.

### Storage stacked straight onto ceiling joists
Without a floor, everything ends up resting on thin joists and squashed insulation. Over time that shows as cracked ceilings below and boxes sitting in compressed, damp-prone insulation. A raised deck spreads the load and lifts your belongings clear of the insulation entirely.

### Mixed roof types across the same street
Dawley's redevelopment history means a Victorian cut roof can sit next door to a 1970s trussed roof. Each takes a completely different boarding layout, and a quote based on the neighbour's job is worthless, which is why we measure yours.

### Cold water tanks and old pipework
Older properties here often retain a tank in the loft with poorly lagged pipes running to it. Boarding is planned to keep access to the valve and lid, and pipework is insulated so a warmer house does not leave you with a colder, riskier loft.

### Hatches too small to be useful
A 550mm hatch will not take a suitcase, a Christmas tree box or a plastic crate. Widening the opening, or forming a new one in a better position on the landing, is often the change that makes the whole loft usable.

## How a Dawley loft job runs
The same five steps on every job, wherever you are in Shropshire.

- 1
### Call or message us
Tell us the town, the type of house and what you want the loft to do. Calls are answered by the fitter, Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm, not a call centre reading from a script.

- 2
### In-person survey
We come out and get into the loft. We never quote from photographs, because joist spacing, insulation depth, tank position and hatch location all change the price and the plan.

- 3
### Fixed written quote
You get a clear price with the boarding area, hatch, ladder, lighting and insulation itemised. Package pricing starts at £850 (Basic), £1,350 (Premium) and £2,000 (Ultimate).

- 4
### Booked-in installation
A 25% deposit secures your date. We confirm how long your job will take at survey, dust sheets down, landing protected and everything cleared away before we leave.

- 5
### Handover and guarantee
We walk you through the ladder, the lighting and the safe loading of the deck, then hand over a 10-year workmanship guarantee. We hold £1,000,000 public liability insurance throughout.

## What loft boarding costs in Dawley
Dawley jobs use the same package structure: £850 for the Basic 10sqm package with hatch, ladder and light, £1,350 for 20sqm Premium and £2,000 for 30sqm Ultimate with a full insulation top-up. In the older terraces around Dawley and Malinslee the Basic package often covers everything that is needed; larger houses at Lightmoor and Aqueduct tend to justify Premium.

If your loft already has boards down, we will price lifting them, re-dressing the insulation and relaying the deck on legs, frequently cheaper than people assume, because sound boards can be re-used. Everything is confirmed at the in-person survey, with a 25% deposit to book the date and the balance on completion.
