Hi Grump Man could you please show how you attached the timbers to the joists?

I was quoted £2000 to have this done. I’ll be doing it myself now, thanks for the video!

I recently followed your videos and managed to board 10 sqm, many thanks

This is a very useful and easy to follow video. Much appreciated!

Fab instructions, helped me do my first loft boarding. 👍👍

what a great instructional video. kudos to the director.

Great easy to follow video! I think I’ll save myself a few hundred and do it myself following this!

Obviously wonderful and so impressive video this is for all kinds of people... We need more videos such as this... specially I am waiting for your next videos

I look forward to your videos all the time

What insulation can you use with the 89mm CLS. Are there any rolls that thin or do you have to use loose?

Great vid. Subbed.

Nice video

This is a really helpful video and answers a lot of my questions. What is the best way to finish off where the insulation and loft boards come up against the loft hatch to create a neat finish whilst making it possible to easily get into the loft from the ladder?

@MrBish11

Good question Benjamin, if it's a drop hatch then no need to worry, but if you need to lift the hatch, just insulate a bit less around that area so it can accommodate the hatch without a fight.

Is Running timber joists at 90 degrees to the original joists better than using loft legs? And If so why?

What products should I look for in the USA?

Could you do it this way and use it for a bedroom

nice

it's a amaiging

Grumpy man 💪💪👍

How many of each should I get be my first time laying then

Is there a benefit of using the off cutboards as support on the joins instead of making the cls gapping shorter say every 2ft? Or does this just come down to preference. Thanks Lewis

@MrBish11

Жыл бұрын

plenty of off cuts to use so might aswell make use of them, we do sometimes cut the cls down if there is too much of a gap, good question Lewis.

Hi, why did you go to the extra expense of putting new joists in (at 90°)? Is it purely to gain the extra depth for more insulation? I ask as I’m planning on re-insulating my loft with 100mm Knauf in between the existing joists then laying boards on top (screwing into existing joists). Then I’ll use the silver bubble wrap stuff to go over the rafters. Trying to create a warm loft purely to maintain a consistent temperature for storage use. Thanks for the video.

is it okay to use 38 x 63 x 300mm ? with 400mm apart or 600mm apart. reason being I don't want to raise the floor to high, however concerned about the extra insulation that will need to be put in. please advise, as always amazing videos

@MrBish11

Hi Sam, no you can use the shorter ones, don't worry about leaving air gaps between the insulation and boarding as this will probably cause more condensation and the boarding is a great insulator as well.

Noticed you have moved from Chipboard panels to OSB. Would you spend the extra and use OSB or is it because the client requested it?

@MrBish11

Hi, We generally use osb these days, but probably not for much longer as the price has just gone up yet again to £17 per pack, so we may have to revert back to chipboard on some jobs.

Adding boards over the insulation like in this video could cause the wiring to overheat and cause a fire, you need a space between the insulation and the new boards for ventilation

How did u secure the joists? Did u just drill them in with a screw from an angle or go through the top of the joist on to the ones underneath? If so it it one screw for every joist below?

You did not show us how you fixed down the the cls joists?

Is there a reason that there is no mention of the added benefit of staggering the placement of the boards and also lining the tongue and groove with wood glue? I’m halfway through my loft project and a builder made a mention of this.

Hi Kenneth, yes the staggering of the boards gives a stronger finish. I would not advise wood glue in case some the the boards ever need to be taken up for any reason.

No you can't, the new floor must be suspended above the existing floor using 2x6 joists, for more info contact your local Building control

Wow. Sei

How much will the cost ?

What size cls would I use for perpendicular joists? I was contemplating cls around the hatch then go to loft leg kit but watching this, I'm seeing the 90 degree second set of joists and it's more logical for my set up, but everyone advises loft legs to allow circulation to keep out damp and condensation?

@MrBish11

2 жыл бұрын

Hi John, we would not use a loft leg system, all I can say is that we have never had a case of condensation out of hundreds of loft boarding jobs, as long as the loft is adequately vented then you should not have any problems. Good luck with your loft.

I've seen people claim to be experts and they show you how to join boards without a joist there and I'm like nah, I'd have something under that or use a new board... If anything I'm too safe !!! Cheers for all your help :) I'd imagine it's cheaper and easier to use perpendicular joists but as I say, so many say the legs are better but I figured I'll raise a few joists and legs every other one or something so the legs don't slide like dominoes and the whole floor shifts if I have some solid wood joists in between! If that makes sense. Cheers anyway!

How would you make the joists solid as possible and what timber would you use? What weight storage would this hold?

virtually impossible to say what weight it would hold, but if you do it right and brace each joint then you should be able to store some fairly heavy items up there.
