We cover the whole of it: Copthorne, Belle Vue, Monkmoor, Radbrook, Bicton Heath, Meole Brace, Sundorne, Harlescott, Castlefields, Coleham and the villages that ring the loop of the Severn, with surveys arranged Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm. What makes Shrewsbury different from Telford is the age spread. Within a mile of the town centre you have Georgian and Victorian houses with traditional cut roofs, purlins and generous headroom, then a ring of interwar and 1950s semis, then modern estates on the outskirts with shallow trussed roofs and deep insulation. Each needs a different boarding layout, and pricing that assumes one type will always be wrong for the other. Older Shrewsbury roofs are often the best value lofts we board. A cut roof with decent headroom can take a large deck, sometimes with room to stand upright along the ridge, and the timbers are usually generous. What they lack is insulation depth, a safe hatch and any lighting, so the work is as much about access and warmth as it is about the floor itself. ### Shrewsbury at a glance - Regular work across Shrewsbury every week - Cut roofs in period property, trussed roofs on newer estates - Traditional lath-and-plaster ceilings handled carefully - Fixed written quote after an in-person surveyCalls answered Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm on 07305 001639. ## Loft services available in Shrewsbury Every service we offer is available across Shrewsbury: on its own or combined into one of our packages. ### Loft Boarding in Shrewsbury Raised LoftLeg decking laid out to suit purlins and cut roof timbers as well as modern trusses. ### Loft Hatches in Shrewsbury Tight period hatches on Shrewsbury landings widened, or an extended hatch fitted for bulky items. ### Loft Ladders in Shrewsbury Timber or aluminium ladders scaled to high Victorian ceilings and narrow landings. ### Loft Insulation in Shrewsbury Top-ups for older Shrewsbury houses that never had more than a thin original layer. ### Loft Lining in Shrewsbury Breathable membrane over open slate roofs to stop dust and grit falling on your storage. ### Loft Lighting & Electrics in Shrewsbury LED lighting and sockets installed by a fully qualified electrician. ### Roof Windows in Shrewsbury Velux-style windows where the structure allows, checked before anything is promised. ### Loft Clearance in Shrewsbury Decades of accumulated storage cleared and taken away from long-owned family homes. ### Loft Flooring Repairs in Shrewsbury Old plank or chipboard floors in period roofs re-levelled and made solid again. ## Why choose The Little Loft Company in Shrewsbury ### Comfortable in older Shrewsbury roofs Eight years in Shropshire lofts means period roofs hold no surprises: purlins in the way, lath-and-plaster ceilings that cannot take a knock, and hatches cut for a 1900s adult rather than a modern storage box. ### Every Shrewsbury quote surveyed in person There is no meaningful way to price a Shrewsbury loft from a photo when the house could be 130 years old or three. We survey, then quote, and that quote stands. ### One fitter, start to finish The person who surveys the loft is the person who boards it. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson and a subcontractor. ### Guaranteed and insured 10-year workmanship guarantee, £1,000,000 public liability insurance and employers' liability cover on every job. ## Common Shrewsbury loft problems The town's mix of building ages produces a predictable set of issues. These are the ones we deal with most often in Shrewsbury. ### Purlins and cut roofs blocking the floor Traditional Shrewsbury roofs are cut on site, with purlins running horizontally through the space and struts propping them off the ceiling joists. It is a strong roof, but it breaks the floor area up. Boarding has to be planned in zones around those timbers so you get the maximum usable deck instead of a floor that stops at the first obstruction. ### Thin or non-existent insulation Plenty of older properties in Belle Vue, Coleham, Castlefields and Monkmoor still have a shallow original layer of insulation, sometimes flattened by decades of storage. Boarding on top of it locks in a poorly performing loft. A top-up laid to depth underneath a raised deck is usually the single biggest comfort improvement in the house. ### Fragile ceilings below Lath-and-plaster ceilings do not forgive a misplaced knee. In older Shrewsbury houses we work off the structure, keep loads on the joists and take care with the hatch opening, because a repair to a period ceiling costs far more than the boarding above it. ### Damp, dust and open slate roofs Older roofs in the town were often built without any sarking felt, so grit and dust drop straight into the loft and onto whatever is stored there. Breathable lining tidies that up while still letting the roof breathe: the important distinction, because sealing an old roof tight causes more problems than it fixes. ## How a Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury Pricing in Shrewsbury follows the same three packages: £850 for 10sqm, £1,350 for 20sqm and £2,000 for 30sqm with a full insulation top-up. Which one fits depends far more on the age of the house than on the postcode. A Victorian roof in Belle Vue or Coleham often has the volume for a 20sqm deck, while a compact modern house in Bicton Heath may only justify the Basic package plus a hatch upgrade. Older Shrewsbury property occasionally needs additional setting-out time around purlins and struts, or a clearance before boarding can start. Both are identified at the survey and itemised in the written quote rather than sprung on you halfway through. A 25% deposit secures the installation date and the balance is due on completion by cash, card or bank transfer. ### Packages in Shrewsbury - 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 Shrewsbury: your questions answered Do you serve Shrewsbury?Yes. We work across the whole of Shrewsbury including Copthorne, Radbrook, Monkmoor, Meole Brace, Bicton Heath, Sundorne, Harlescott, Belle Vue, Castlefields and the surrounding villages. How fast can you get to Shrewsbury?Shrewsbury is roughly a half-hour run from our base in Telford and we are there most weeks, so surveys are typically arranged within a few working days. How much is loft boarding in Shrewsbury?Packages start from £850 (Basic, 10sqm), £1,350 (Premium, 20sqm) and £2,000 (Ultimate, 30sqm with a full insulation top-up). Older Shrewsbury roofs sometimes take more setting-out time, which is why the figure is confirmed after an in-person survey rather than over the phone. Do you offer emergency work in Shrewsbury?We install rather than run an emergency service, and our hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm. Work we have completed is covered by the 10-year workmanship guarantee if anything needs revisiting. Can you board a Victorian roof?Usually yes, and often to a larger area than a modern trussed roof allows. The layout is planned around purlins and struts, and we confirm exactly what is achievable at the survey. Will you disturb my insulation?No. Raised LoftLeg boarding at 175mm or 300mm lifts the deck clear so insulation keeps its full depth, and we re-dress anything that has been flattened before the boards go down. Can you fit a ladder to a high Victorian landing?Yes. Ladders are sized to the actual floor-to-ceiling height and the space available on the landing, which matters far more in older Shrewsbury houses with tall ceilings. Who does the electrics?A fully qualified electrician carries out all lighting, switch and socket work. How do I pay?A 25% deposit books your date, with the balance on completion by cash, card or bank transfer. ## Nearby areas we cover - Loft boarding in Bayston Hill - Loft boarding in Wem - Loft boarding in Much Wenlock - Loft boarding in Telford - All service areasStart from the homepage for pricing and packages, or see the full list of loft services. ## Popular in Shrewsbury - 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?
