I didn't know that, although I haven't encased any cables any more than they were originally so I'd imagine that should be ok. Doesn't look as if anyones moved anything (insulation) about up there since the house was built, and with all the building reg's nowadays they should be aware of...

Thanks! Yeh, It's only going to be used for the odd few boxes etc, and I'm trying to load them mainly where the bedroom walls are for extra support. If any cracks start appearing I'll probably shrink the boarded area just to be on the safe side. I marked where the cables were on the...

The battens should be cut to the inside of the "water bar". The valley is made from GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic). As you can see on the photos, just underneath the edge of the tiles (where the battens end), you can see where the GRP valley looks a different colour, and rough-looking - this...

Sounds like a case of the panics! First thing I would of done is get straight to the stop tap, then take your time to get the chipboard up lol.

Plain selfish and a blatant dis-regard for other people really. The main thing you should be thinking about when loading up is safety, and other people. Not about getting your materials home in one piece. I wouldn't of even put a single sheet on that roof rack, there's simply no good anchor...

We recently moved into a semi-detatched, 5 year old house. The loft is fairly spacious, and the roof pitch is very steep, allowing for a good area in the center of the loft (where the hatch is) to be easily walked around in. I wanted to board the loft to create a large storage space...
