Fantastic product
Fantastic product. Been trying to buy a couple more boxes to finish the loft. But sold out everywhere, for weeks. Come on B&Q when are we likely to see these back on sale?

Just Perfect
I bought two of these packs of stilts which are, in my opinion, the best on the market for those wanting to board the loft and not ruin the insulation depth.

Excellent product
Works well and has allowed me to insulate the loft properly and have boarding too. Does what it should. Cheaper than other places too.

Does the job
These do exactly what they are meant to. No problems at all.

Easy to fit and strong
Great item, fitted over most of my loft joist with no problems. The ones that were either too thick or double up I simply cut one of the side legs. Easy to screw through base plate and alignment recess made getting the screes started very easy. Can be cut with hacksaw or for removing the side legs score with sharp Stanley knife and snap off. I was impressed with how sturdy they were with only the first row of boards laid (was expecting some lateral movement but nothing which is good). Just a gentle note that you need to check your loft ladder height - wasn't a concern for me as I was replacing ladder anyway but if your planning on reusing your existing one you need to check it'll work with the new floor height

Loft stilts
I wanted to improve the insulation in my daughter's house which was part boarded so used these so as to avoid squashing the 200 mm top-up layer. (EPC surveyor was quite positive about it). Nowhere does the info on the stilts say how much they raise the level - it is 220 mm btw so a little gap was left above the insulation. I liked the legs which go either side of the joist but did find a lot of wiring which did get in the way. Would have liked the holes in the base to be drilled out to ease installation - do it in the garage before you go up to the loft. I thought these were better than the 'flat' version with no side legs. They do a good job once your boards are across them and screwed in.

Easy to use
These fit onto joists easily and also bend easily enough for any unusual joists. Easy to screw down with self tapping screws and electric screwdriver. Unlike some, I didn’t bother drilling guide holes. I did need eight per board though, so it does make it expensive.

Great product easy to use.
Bought these as boarding out the loft. They are easy to fit and strong once fitted and board fixed to them

Top Tips
As well as pre-drilling holes in the base with a 3mm drill bit, another top tip is to buy yourself a right angle drill attachment. A standard drill won't fit in the space between the base and head so you end up having to screw in at an angle. Yes, you have to use two hands with a right angle drill attachment but the pre-drilled holes will help with positioning screws. As for the product itself, it does the job but I'd feel a lot better about it if it was made of sturdier plastic.
