Assess Your Loft Boarding Needs

To begin, you’ll want to determine the specific goals you have in mind for your space. Perhaps you need loft boarding to introduce additional storage space or you intend to have the space converted into living space.

Beyond that, you should consider any specific requirements you may have (e.g. insulation, lighting, access points, etc.). By having an idea of your loft boarding needs, you’ll be able to get off to a good start in communicating your vision to the loft boarding service you opt for.

Of course, you’ll still need to verify details with the professional to ensure all your loft boarding needs are covered.

Confirm Availability and Timeline

By now, you should decide which professional or service you’d prefer to hire. After doing so, make sure that the loft boarding service in question has a schedule that aligns with your project timeline. This will be especially important if you have specific deadlines or plans for the space.

Along with that, you should chat about the estimated duration of the boarding process. If your number one preferred service does not offer a schedule and timeline that works for you, you may want to check in with your second or third preferences or (if it can wait) try scheduling for a later time than you initially planned.

It’s important to note that not all loft boarding projects will go as smoothly as planned, as issues like delays can arise.

Clarify Service Terms

Finally, before officially hiring a loft boarding service provider, you should request a written service agreement. This agreement should outline key details like pricing, payment terms, the scope of work and any applicable guarantees or warranties.

Beyond that, the written service agreement should also clearly document any expectations you have or specific project requirements.

Monitor the Boarding Process

You should also remain engaged through the loft boarding process to a certain extent. Firstly, you may want to periodically check the progress (once it is safe to do so, which will depend on the nature of your loft during the work).

Beyond that, you should ensure any concerns or questions you have are addressed. It is best to ask these questions before the work begins or when the contractors are on a break. You should only query them in the middle of the work if is urgent.
