Priorslee, Randlay, Hollinswood, Lawley, Muxton, Apley, Sutton Hill, Leegomery, Brookside and Stirchley are all a short drive away, so survey appointments in Telford are usually offered within the same working week rather than pushed out for a fortnight. Telford is a new town, and that shapes almost every loft we work in here. A large share of the housing stock was built from the 1960s onwards using trussed rafter roofs: thin timbers in a W pattern, spaced at 600mm, designed to hold a roof up and nothing else. They are perfectly sound, but they are not a floor, and the webs criss-cross the space so a boarding layout has to be set out around them rather than simply thrown across the top. Newer Telford estates bring the opposite problem: deep modern insulation, often 270mm or more, sitting proud of joists that are only 100mm deep. Board straight onto those joists and you crush the insulation flat, lose the thermal performance you paid for and trap moisture against the boards. That is exactly why we fit raised boarding on the LoftLeg system at 175mm or 300mm, keeping the insulation at full depth and the air moving underneath the deck. ### Telford at a glance - Based in Telford, our nearest service area - Trussed rafter roofs on most post-1960s estates - Deep modern insulation on newer developments - Surveys Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pmCalls answered Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm on 07305 001639. ## Loft services available in Telford Every service we offer is available across Telford: on its own or combined into one of our packages. ### Loft Boarding in Telford Raised LoftLeg decking set out around truss webs: the standard fix for Telford estate roofs. ### Loft Hatches in Telford Small builder's hatches on Telford landings widened or replaced with a uPVC or extended timber hatch. ### Loft Ladders in Telford Aluminium or timber folding ladders sized to the landing so nobody balances on a step ladder again. ### Loft Insulation in Telford Top-ups laid to depth beneath the raised deck, so newer Telford homes keep the insulation they were built with. ### Loft Lining in Telford Breathable membrane or foil lining to tidy up dusty roof spaces and protect what you store. ### Loft Lighting & Electrics in Telford LED battens, switches and sockets by a fully qualified electrician; no torch in your teeth. ### Roof Windows in Telford Velux-style windows where the roof structure allows, checked properly at survey first. ### Loft Clearance in Telford Clutter from previous owners cleared, sorted and taken away before boarding begins. ### Loft Flooring Repairs in Telford Bouncing or part-finished chipboard floors stripped back, re-levelled and re-boarded. ## Why choose The Little Loft Company in Telford ### A Telford business, not a national franchise We live and work here. The number on this site is answered by the fitter who will be in your loft, and if something needs looking at afterwards we are minutes away rather than dispatching a subcontractor from another county. ### Eight years of Shropshire lofts Eight years working almost exclusively in lofts across Telford and Shropshire means we have already seen your roof type: trussed, cut, low-headroom bungalow or new-build with a tank in the middle. ### Surveyed in person, priced honestly Every Telford quote follows an in-person survey. That is why the price you are given is the price you pay, with no mid-job phone call about extra materials. ### Insured and guaranteed £1,000,000 public liability insurance, employers' liability cover and a 10-year workmanship guarantee on completed work. ## What goes wrong in Telford lofts New-town housing has its own set of recurring loft problems. These are the four we are called out to most often across Telford. ### Trussed rafter roofs treated like floors Most Telford estates built from the 1960s onwards use factory-made trussed rafters. Homeowners assume the horizontal member is a joist and stack it with boxes; it is a ceiling tie sized for plasterboard, not for storage. The result is cracking on the ceiling below and a floor that flexes. Raised boarding spreads load correctly across the structure instead of concentrating it on a single thin timber. ### Crushed insulation on newer estates Homes in Lawley, Muxton, Priorslee and the newer Telford developments come with deep insulation from day one. Flat boarding squashes it to a third of its depth, which shows up as a colder landing, a warmer loft and condensation on the underside of the boards in winter. Raising the deck above the insulation solves all three at once. ### Cold water tanks in the middle of the space Older Telford properties in Dawley, Sutton Hill and Woodside often still have a tank sitting on bearers in the centre of the loft, exactly where you would want storage. Boarding has to be planned around it with access kept to the valve and lid, and the pipework insulated so a colder loft does not become a burst pipe. ### Undersized hatches and unsafe access The standard hatch on many Telford homes is barely 550mm square and sits over the stairwell. Nothing bulky fits through it and there is nowhere safe to stand a ladder. Widening the opening and fitting a proper folding ladder is often the change that finally makes a loft get used. ## How a Telford 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 Telford Most Telford jobs land in one of the three packages. The Basic package at £850 covers 10sqm of raised LoftLeg boarding with a uPVC hatch, an aluminium ladder and a 4ft LED light, which suits a typical estate semi in Randlay, Brookside or Sutton Hill where you want the suitcases and decorations out of the spare room. Premium at £1,350 doubles the deck to 20sqm and upgrades to an extended hatch and a timber folding ladder, the usual choice for family houses in Priorslee, Lawley and Muxton. Ultimate at £2,000 covers 30sqm with a full insulation top-up, which is the option that makes most sense in newer Telford homes where the insulation is deep but likely to be disturbed. Whatever the package, a 25% deposit books the date and the balance is paid on completion. The figure in your written quote is set at the in-person survey and does not move afterwards, because we have already seen the joists, the tank and the hatch before we price it. ### Packages in Telford - 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 Telford: your questions answered Do you cover Telford?Yes, we are based in Telford, so the whole borough is our nearest service area. That includes Priorslee, Randlay, Hollinswood, Stirchley, Brookside, Sutton Hill, Leegomery, Apley, Lawley, Muxton, Trench and Donnington. How quickly can you get to me in Telford?Because we are based in the town, Telford surveys are usually offered within the same working week. Calls are answered Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm, by the fitter rather than an office. How much does loft boarding cost in Telford?Package pricing starts at £850 for the Basic package: 10sqm of raised LoftLeg boarding, a uPVC hatch, an aluminium ladder and a 4ft LED light. Premium is from £1,350 for 20sqm with an extended hatch and timber ladder, and Ultimate from £2,000 for 30sqm with a full insulation top-up. Your final figure is confirmed at the survey. Do you offer emergency call-outs in Telford?We are an installation business rather than an emergency service, and we work Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm. If something we have fitted needs attention it is covered by the 10-year workmanship guarantee and, being local, we can normally get back to you quickly. Will boarding work on a Telford new-build roof?Usually yes, using raised boarding. New-build trussed roofs are not designed as floors, so the deck is set out to spread load across the structure and sit clear of the deep insulation. We confirm what your roof will take at the in-person survey. How long does the work take?Most Telford installations are completed within one or two working days. Larger areas, full insulation top-ups or a clearance beforehand can add a day. Do you quote from photographs?No. Every quote follows an in-person survey, which is the only way to see joist spacing, insulation depth, tank position and the state of the hatch. It is also why our quotes do not change halfway through the job. Who carries out the electrical work?All lighting, switches and sockets are installed by a fully qualified electrician. What guarantee do I get in Telford?A 10-year workmanship guarantee on completed work, backed by £1,000,000 public liability insurance and employers' liability cover. ## Nearby areas we cover - Loft boarding in Wellington - Loft boarding in Oakengates - Loft boarding in Dawley - Loft boarding in Shifnal - All service areasStart from the homepage for pricing and packages, or see the full list of loft services. ## Popular in Telford - 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?
