## Loft boarding for Wem homes
Wem is our furthest regular patch to the north, beyond Shrewsbury, and we cover the town plus Prees, Loppington, Whixall, Clive and the farms and hamlets around them. Rural north Shropshire addresses are welcome; we simply plan the trip and give you a proper appointment window rather than a vague morning slot.

The town centre carries a good deal of Georgian and early Victorian property, much of it rebuilt after the town's historic fire, with tall cut roofs and deep voids. Around it are interwar and post-war houses, modern estate development and, further out, farmhouses and converted agricultural buildings where the roof space can be enormous.

In and around Wem the loft is often the only realistic storage a house has: no cellar worth using, outbuildings already full, and a long way from the nearest self-storage unit. That tends to make the Premium and Ultimate packages the sensible choice: 20 to 30 square metres of raised deck with the insulation brought up to full depth underneath.

## Why choose The Little Loft Company in Wem

### We do travel out here
Plenty of trades treat north Shropshire as too far. Wem is part of our service area, surveyed in person like anywhere else, with the same fixed written quote at the end of it.

### Large roof spaces are routine
Eight years of Shropshire lofts includes farmhouses and outbuildings where the deck runs to 30sqm and beyond, with the insulation work to match.

### One visit, done properly
Because travel is longer, we plan the job so materials, clearance and installation happen in a tight sequence rather than dragging over weeks.

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

## Loft problems around Wem
Exposed rural north Shropshire property has a consistent set of loft weaknesses.

### Heat loss on exposed sites
Detached houses and farm property out towards Prees and Whixall catch the wind from every direction. With shallow insulation, the roof takes an enormous amount of heat out of the house. Bringing the depth up under a raised deck is the highest-value part of most jobs we do here.

### Freezing risk to tanks and pipework
A better-insulated loft is a colder loft, so tanks and pipes need attention at the same time. We keep insulation clear of the tank base, address the sides and pipe runs, and maintain access to valves rather than boxing anything in.

### Huge but unusable roof volumes
Farmhouse and outbuilding roofs often have vast open space with no floor, no light and a hatch in an inconvenient corner. Without a plan you end up boarding the wrong end. We set out the deck where the headroom, the access and the load-bearing structure all line up.

### Old, part-finished floors
Rural lofts frequently carry a patchwork of scrap boards laid years ago by different people. They flex, they trap insulation and they are not safe to walk on with your hands full. Stripping back and re-boarding on legs turns that into a single consistent floor.

## How a Wem 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 Wem
Wem is priced on the same packages as everywhere else: £850 for 10sqm, £1,350 for 20sqm and £2,000 for 30sqm with a full insulation top-up. Rural north Shropshire property tends towards the larger end, both because the roof spaces are bigger and because the loft is often the only practical storage the house has.

Any additional travel to Wem, Prees or Whixall is built into the quote we give you after the survey; there is nothing added on afterwards. Larger jobs, clearances and insulation top-ups are itemised so you can see exactly what each element costs. A 25% deposit books the date and the balance is paid on completion by cash, card or bank transfer.

## Loft boarding in Wem: your questions answered
Do you travel to Wem?Yes. Wem is part of our service area, along with Prees, Loppington, Whixall, Clive and the surrounding rural addresses.

How quickly can you get to Wem?It is our longest regular run, so we usually group north Shropshire visits together. Surveys are typically arranged within a week, with a proper appointment window rather than an open-ended slot.

What does loft boarding cost in Wem?The same package pricing applies: from £850 for 10sqm, £1,350 for 20sqm and £2,000 for 30sqm with a full insulation top-up. Larger rural roofs are quoted after the in-person survey.

Do you offer emergency work in Wem?No, we are an installer working Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm. Anything we have installed is covered by the 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Can you board a farmhouse or converted outbuilding?Yes, provided the structure is suitable. These roofs often give the largest usable decks we fit, but they need surveying carefully first.

Is it worth insulating as well as boarding?On exposed north Shropshire property, almost always. Raised boarding protects the insulation rather than crushing it, so doing both together is the efficient way round.
