This will depend on the type of installation uou choose, but as a general guide:

- 1-3 months on average for supply only, but this varies depending on availability, complexity and material availability
If your property was built around or after the 1970’s you will likely have a ‘trussed loft’, these are thin V shaped beams.
If your property was built before the 1970’s you may have either a ‘cut roof’ or ‘purlins’
- A cut roof is similar to a trussed loft, these are thin V shaped beams but are spaced further apart, whereas the rafters and joists are set closer together.
- Purlins are thick beams that run length ways in your loft.
- For loft height measure from the bottom of the floor joists to the apex of the roof.
- For the loft size measure from the floor below your loft, run a tape measure from the front wall to back wall, for width do the same from side wall to side wall, side walls are often referred to as gables or party walls, if your property has a front facing gable switch the measurements.
