I am in the same position - looking to add loft legs and new boards (along with additional insulation) but curious by your original comment: "I'm assuming plastic loft legs are out of the question as they're too slim". Can you provide more context?

The loft is going to be my first and biggest task this weekend as soon we get the house keys!

I Had thought that my joists would be too slim for the loft leg to actually screw into, but as mentioned by FreeBear, the feet are slimmer than I expected and will fit fine.

Thanks for the advice all- Pricing up how much extra it will be to add some reinforcement to prevent sagging in the roof over time.

You also need to work out the logistics of getting long lengths of timber (or steel) in to the loft - It might require some form of scaffolding outside and the removal of a few tiles to get the timber in.
