Because it is so close, survey appointments here are usually easy to fit into the same working week. The area grew around industry rather than planning, so the housing is a patchwork: rows of solid Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the older streets, post-war council-built semis, and pockets of later infill development. Roof structures change from street to street, which is exactly why we never price an Oakengates loft over the phone. The single most common request here is straightforward: turn a dusty, unlit, unfloored roof space into somewhere you can put the things a small house has nowhere else for. Raised boarding, an extended hatch, a folding ladder and a 4ft LED light, the Basic and Premium packages, cover the majority of Oakengates jobs. ### Oakengates at a glance - Minutes from our Telford base - Victorian and Edwardian industrial-era terraces - Post-war semis with shallow roofs - Small houses where loft storage matters mostCalls answered Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm on 07305 001639. ## Loft services available in Oakengates Every service we offer is available across Oakengates: on its own or combined into one of our packages. ### Loft Boarding in Oakengates Raised LoftLeg decking, laid out to get the most usable area from a narrow terrace roof. ### Loft Hatches in Oakengates Cramped original hatches widened or replaced with uPVC or extended timber openings. ### Loft Ladders in Oakengates Folding ladders sized to short, tight landings and set to operate smoothly. ### Loft Insulation in Oakengates Top-ups laid to depth under the deck, a noticeable difference in older Oakengates housing. ### Loft Lining in Oakengates Breathable lining for unfelted roofs that shed grit onto everything stored below. ### Loft Lighting & Electrics in Oakengates LED lighting and sockets by a fully qualified electrician. ### Roof Windows in Oakengates Velux-style windows where the roof structure allows. ### Loft Clearance in Oakengates Old contents cleared, sorted and removed before the new deck goes in. ### Loft Flooring Repairs in Oakengates Bouncing or badly fixed boards lifted, re-supported and re-laid. ## Why choose The Little Loft Company in Oakengates ### Genuinely local We are based in Telford, a few minutes from Oakengates. That means quick surveys, and an easy return visit if you ever need one. ### Eight years of roofs like yours Older terrace roofs, post-war semis, low headroom and awkward hatches, this is the everyday work we have been doing across Shropshire for eight years. ### Honest pricing, surveyed in person A written quote after a proper look in the loft. No photograph estimates and no price changes once we start. ### Insured and guaranteed £1,000,000 public liability insurance, employers' liability cover and a 10-year workmanship guarantee. ## What we find in Oakengates lofts Industrial-era housing and post-war estates share a familiar set of loft faults. ### Low headroom over narrow terraces Terrace roofs in Oakengates are often shallow-pitched and narrow, so the genuinely usable area is a strip along the middle. Boarding the whole footprint is a waste of money; boarding the right strip properly, with the ladder landing in the right place, gives you storage you can reach without crawling. ### Ceilings that have already moved In older housing we regularly find hairline cracks below where someone has stored heavy items on unsupported ceiling joists. Raised boarding spreads the load across the structure, and at survey we will tell you honestly what the roof should and should not be asked to carry. ### Patchy, ancient insulation Thin, uneven or partially removed insulation is common, sometimes pulled back years ago for wiring work and never put right. Topping up to depth under a raised deck fixes both the cold bedroom and the wasted loft in one visit. ### No light, no safe access A high proportion of Oakengates lofts have no lighting at all and a hatch you need a step ladder and a phone torch to use. A 4ft LED batten and a fixed folding ladder change how the space gets used more than any other single item. ## How a Oakengates 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 Oakengates The three packages cover almost every Oakengates job: £850 for 10sqm, £1,350 for 20sqm and £2,000 for 30sqm including a full insulation top-up. In smaller terraces around Oakengates and St Georges the Basic package regularly does everything that is needed, because the usable strip of a shallow roof is limited and there is no point paying for boards you cannot reach. Where a loft is full, or where an old DIY floor has to come up first, that work is set out separately in the written quote. Nothing is estimated over the phone. A 25% deposit secures your installation date and the balance is paid on completion by cash, card or bank transfer, with a 10-year workmanship guarantee at handover. ### Packages in Oakengates - Basic: £85010sqm raised boarding (LoftLeg) · uPVC loft hatch · Aluminium loft ladder · 4ft LED light + switch - Premium: £1,35020sqm raised boarding (LoftLeg) · Extended loft hatch · Timber folding loft ladder · 4ft LED light + switch - Ultimate: £2,00030sqm raised boarding (LoftLeg) · Full insulation top-up · Timber folding ladder + hatch · 4ft LED light + switch ## Loft boarding in Oakengates: your questions answered Do you cover Oakengates?Yes.
