Our Story
A Business built on Doing the Job Properly
We started out boarding lofts over 15 years ago the ethos has never changed. The work, however, has.
We turn up when we say we will. We do the job right the first time. We treat every home with the same care we would give our own. And we stand behind every single thing we do, long after we have packed up and left.
"The majority of our work comes from word of mouth. That is not something you can manufacture. It is what happens when you consistently do what you say you will."
Homeowners in Durham and across the North East recommend us to their neighbours, their family, and their friends. Our 250+ five-star Google reviews are the result of thousands of jobs done properl, in homes just like yours.
The Team. Real People. Real Tradespeople.

What Sets Us Apart From Other Loft Boarding Companies
There are plenty of companies that will board a loft. Very few do it properly. Here is what makes the difference with Lofty Solution, and why it matters for your home.
We protect your insulation
Every project includes a free insulation health check. We install a raised timber brace system with a 50mm breathing gap, using premium Reisser screws throughout. Boards nailed directly onto joists compress insulation and push up your heating bills. That never happens on our jobs.
Safety handrail, included as standard
We are the only local loft storage company to fit a safety handrail with every loft ladder installation as standard. It is not an optional extra. It comes with the job. Because it should.
Most jobs completed in a single day
We keep disruption to a minimum. You will not know we have been there, except for the finished loft space.
A lifetime warranty that means something
No other loft storage company in the North East offers a warranty like ours. We cover all workmanship and materials for as long as you live in your home. No small print. No exclusions. Right down to the last screw and lightbulb. We have been here for over 15 years and we are not going anywhere.
We never cut structural corners.
We will never cut through roof trusses. This protects your home's structural integrity and keeps your NHBC warranty fully intact. It is not a shortcut we are willing to take, not for any job, any budget, any timeline.
