Loft Boarding

Homeowners who want to add more storage space to their home should consider loft boarding, especially if they can find a skilled handyman to do the work. A handyman's skills can be put to good use transforming an underutilised attic into a functional storage area or even a cosy extra room. A host of skills is brought to the table by a talented handyman when it comes to boarding out a loft.
