Loft storage company reaches new heights with deal for garage specialist

Loft storage firm Instaloft has bought GarageFlex, an installer of garage storage solutions, for an undisclosed sum.

£14m turnover Instaloft, based in Telford, is a leading installer of the award-winning Loftzone Storefloor Raised Loft Boarding, which allows homeowners to make the most of their loft space while protecting loft insulation.

Now working alongside GarageFlex, Instaloft can augment its loft storage system with a host of upgrades, including loft ceiling and floor options to transform lofts into spaces that instantly feel brighter, cleaner and more homely.

Consultant of GarageFlex, Alastair Broom, said: “I started Garageflex in 2006 and have thoroughly enjoyed growing it into the business it is today. I am therefore pleased to have sold it to Rob Stone, having known him for a number of years and having seen how he has transformed the Instaloft brand from a small start-up to a multi-branch, award-winning operation in only seven years. I know Rob has great plans for developing GarageFlex, and I look forward to seeing it achieve the same level of success as Instaloft.”

Founder and sole director of Instaloft, Rob Stone, said: “We are thrilled to be working with GarageFlex and with it the ability to offer old and new customers alike upgrades to our amazing loft storage solutions, as well as upgrades to their garages to create beautiful spaces such as home gyms, playrooms, dance studios and so much more.

“Instaloft has gone from strength to strength over the last year, and our recent acquisition of GarageFlex is a great start to the New Year as we look for new and exciting ways to increase the scale and profitability of the Instaloft brand. We cannot wait to start collaborating with GarageFlex as we continue to enhance our storage solutions.”

In September 2019, Instaloft also became a shareholder of Loftzone, after Stone acquired one third of the business to safeguard the future of the company.
