## Loft boarding for Much Wenlock homes
Much Wenlock sits south-west of Telford beneath Wenlock Edge, and we cover the town along with Homer, Bourton, Harley, Cressage and the villages strung along the Edge. Rural addresses are routine for us; we are used to lanes, long drives and properties where the nearest hard standing is not next to the front door.

The town centre is one of Shropshire's finest collections of timber-framed, stone and brick period buildings, and the roofs match: steeply pitched, hand-cut, irregular and frequently altered over the centuries. Beyond the centre there are Victorian and interwar houses and pockets of modern development with conventional trussed roofs.

In period Much Wenlock property the boarding job is usually as much about warmth and protection as it is about floor area. Old roofs leak heat, drop dust and hold very little insulation, so a top-up under a raised deck plus breathable lining often makes a bigger difference than another five square metres of boards.

## Why choose The Little Loft Company in Much Wenlock

### Happy to travel rural Shropshire
Wenlock Edge and the surrounding villages are part of our normal coverage, not an awkward exception. We will come out and survey properly wherever you are.

### Careful in historic buildings
Eight years working in Shropshire lofts, including plenty of period property where minimal intervention and sound judgement matter more than speed.

### Realistic advice
If a roof will only take a modest deck, we will tell you that at survey. An honest 12sqm beats a promised 25sqm that never materialises.

### Insured and guaranteed
£1,000,000 public liability insurance, employers' liability cover and a 10-year workmanship guarantee.

## Loft issues around Much Wenlock
Exposed rural sites and centuries-old buildings create a distinct set of problems.

### Cold, exposed roof spaces
Houses under Wenlock Edge take the weather. With thin or missing insulation, a loft becomes a heat sink and the rooms below never quite warm up. A full top-up laid to depth beneath raised boarding tackles the comfort problem and the storage problem in one visit.

### Uneven, historic roof timbers
Hand-cut roofs have irregular spacing and timbers that vary along their length. A rigid, standard boarding grid simply will not sit flat. Adjustable raised legs let us level a deck across timbers that are anything but level.

### Dust, grit and unfelted roofs
Stone and slate roofs of this age often have no membrane at all, so anything stored in the loft is gradually coated in debris. Breathable lining protects your belongings while preserving the ventilation the roof depends on.

### Awkward access, inside and out
Narrow stairs, low doorways and hatches squeezed into corners are common in period property, and the approach outside may be a lane rather than a drive. All of it is planned at survey so materials and ladders can actually get where they need to be.

## How a Much Wenlock 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 Much Wenlock
Pricing starts at £850 for 10sqm, £1,350 for 20sqm and £2,000 for 30sqm including a full insulation top-up. In period Much Wenlock property the insulation element is usually the part that pays for itself fastest, so the Ultimate package is more common here than in modern estate housing, particularly in exposed houses along Wenlock Edge.

Hand-cut roofs take longer to set out and level, and that time is reflected in the written quote you receive after the survey rather than discovered mid-job. If a clearance or a lining is needed, each is itemised separately so you can decide what to include. A 25% deposit secures the date, with the balance on completion.
