 Answer From Our Expert
by: Jeremy Wedge

It sounds like you have a thick insulation that hides the joists, what is normally done in a loft is the insulation is provided between the rafters.

In your case the only thing that we can advise is to provide counter battens to be placed perpendicular over the ceiling joists.

The depth of the battens should be deep enough to clear the residual insulation. You will then be able to board out on top of the battens.
