Last time I boarded a loft there was a fairly thin layer of insulation, so i secured some cross beams on top of the existing ceiling beams and then fixed the boards to those.
I had my loft re-insulated when I brought the house last year and it is over 300mm deep. The existing ceiling beams are only around 100-120mm deep so as you can imagine I cant see the existing beams and the insulation has been cross laid to make it more fun.
I assume the easiest way is for me to take the top layer off, put the new beams down, and then fill those in with the insulation before laying the boards.
Might seem a silly question to some, but I'm trying not to compromise the depth of the insulation for energy/heating reasons and just wanted to gather advice.
The loft is purely for storage, not as a living area.
