We work throughout the town and out to Priorslee, Sheriffhales, Ryton, Beckbury and the surrounding lanes and hamlets. The town's building stock is genuinely mixed. Around the centre there are timber-framed and brick period properties with steep, irregular roofs, then Victorian and interwar housing, then substantial modern development on the fringes with standard trussed rafters and full-depth insulation. The right answer for a 200-year-old cottage roof is rarely the right answer for a 2015 estate house, and vice versa. Shifnal customers tend to have space to fill: larger family homes with a loft that has quietly become the dumping ground. That usually means a bigger boarded area than average, and often a clearance first, followed by a Premium or Ultimate package with a full insulation top-up. ### Shifnal at a glance - Short run east from our Telford base - Period cottages with steep, irregular roofs - Modern estates with trussed rafters and deep insulation - Larger family homes often need 20–30sqm decksCalls answered Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm on 07305 001639. ## Loft services available in Shifnal Every service we offer is available across Shifnal: on its own or combined into one of our packages. ### Loft Boarding in Shifnal Raised LoftLeg decking from 10sqm to 30sqm, set out around whatever the roof structure throws at us. ### Loft Hatches in Shifnal uPVC or extended hatches, including relocating an opening that sits in an unusable spot. ### Loft Ladders in Shifnal Aluminium or timber folding ladders fitted to the drop and the landing space available. ### Loft Insulation in Shifnal Full top-ups under the deck, particularly worthwhile in Shifnal's older, draughtier property. ### Loft Lining in Shifnal Breathable membrane or foil lining to protect stored items in older roofs. ### Loft Lighting & Electrics in Shifnal LED lighting, switches and sockets installed by a fully qualified electrician. ### Roof Windows in Shifnal Velux-style roof windows where the roof structure allows. ### Loft Clearance in Shifnal Full clearance of accumulated storage, sorted and taken away. ### Loft Flooring Repairs in Shifnal Failing or part-finished loft floors stripped, re-levelled and re-boarded. ## Why choose The Little Loft Company in Shifnal ### Regular in Shifnal Shifnal is close enough to Telford that surveys are usually offered within a few working days, and a return visit is never a problem. ### Comfortable with old and new Eight years across Shropshire means both ends of Shifnal's housing stock are familiar: irregular period roofs and identikit modern trusses alike. ### Big jobs handled cleanly Larger decks and full clearances are routine work. Dust sheets, controlled hatch opening and a proper tidy-up are standard, not extras. ### Guaranteed and insured 10-year workmanship guarantee, £1,000,000 public liability and employers' liability cover. ## Loft issues specific to Shifnal Two very different types of housing produce two very different sets of problems in the same town. ### Irregular period roof structures Older Shifnal property rarely has a tidy roof. Timbers change size mid-span, later alterations cut across the space, and floor levels step. These roofs can hold plenty of storage but the setting-out has to be done on site with a tape measure, not assumed from a plan. ### Full-depth insulation on new estates Modern Shifnal homes are built with insulation deeper than the joists themselves. Any flat boarding immediately compresses it, and homeowners then wonder why the house feels colder after adding storage. Raised boarding at 300mm keeps the insulation and the storage. ### Lofts full before they are floored In larger family houses the loft fills up long before anyone boards it, with items resting straight on joists and insulation. Clearing first, then boarding, is both safer and cheaper than working around piles of boxes. ### Long, uninsulated pipe and tank runs Bigger properties on the edge of town often have long pipe runs and a tank sitting away from the hatch. Those need insulating and keeping accessible, so a cold snap does not turn a storage project into a plumbing bill. ## How a Shifnal 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 Shifnal Shifnal pricing runs from £850 for the 10sqm Basic package through £1,350 for 20sqm Premium to £2,000 for the 30sqm Ultimate package with a full insulation top-up. Larger family homes around the town, and newer estate houses with deep insulation already in place, most often take Premium or Ultimate, as there is usually both the roof space and the volume of belongings to justify it. Period property in the centre of Shifnal is priced after a longer look, because irregular timbers change how much usable deck is realistic. Clearance, if the loft is full, is quoted alongside the boarding so you can see what each part costs. A 25% deposit books the date and the balance is settled on completion. ### Packages in Shifnal - 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 Shifnal: your questions answered Do you serve Shifnal?Yes.

Can you clear the loft before boarding it?Yes. Loft clearance is one of our services: we clear, sort and take away the contents, then board the empty space. Will boarding affect my new-build warranty or insulation?Raised boarding is designed to avoid the usual problem of crushed insulation. If your home is very new, check any developer conditions with them, and we will set the deck out so insulation stays at full depth. Can you board an old cottage roof?Often yes, though period roofs need a proper look first. We will tell you at survey how much usable deck is realistic rather than promising a square-metre figure over the phone. Who does the electrical work?A fully qualified electrician installs all lighting and power. How do I secure a date?A 25% deposit books the installation, with the balance payable on completion by cash, card or bank transfer. ## Nearby areas we cover - Loft boarding in Telford - Loft boarding in Newport - Loft boarding in Ironbridge - Loft boarding in Wellington - All service areasStart from the homepage for pricing and packages, or see the full list of loft services. ## Popular in Shifnal - Loft BoardingRaised LoftLeg boarding in 175mm or 300mm heights, so your insulation stays uncompressed and your storage stays dry. - Loft HatchesuPVC or extended timber hatches, cut and finished cleanly so getting into your loft is no longer a struggle. - Loft LaddersAluminium or timber folding ladders fitted securely for safe, everyday access; no more wobbling step ladders. - Loft InsulationInsulation top-ups laid to depth underneath raised boarding, keeping warmth in without squashing performance.Ready to talk?
