What is rafter insulation?
Because the whole roof slope, the gables and the party walls now have to be insulated, this costs much more than insulating the floor and saves less heat for the money. We check the roof underlay first: a breathable membrane and a felt with no ventilation gap need different build-ups to avoid condensation. More about rafter insulation.
- Rigid insulation between the rafters, joints taped
- Insulated plasterboard lining where specified
- Build-up designed for your type of roof underlay

Questions about rafter insulation in Carnoustie
Can a landlord in Carnoustie book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Will I get a written quote for work in Carnoustie?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Do you cover all of DD7?
Yes, we cover the DD7 postcode district and the districts around Carnoustie.
Will it cause condensation?
It can if the build-up is wrong for the roof. Old bitumen felt needs a ventilation gap behind the insulation; a modern breathable membrane may not. We check before we design it.
Can I use the loft as a bedroom after rafter insulation?
Insulation alone does not make a loft habitable. Fire escape, stairs, floor strength and headroom all come into a conversion, which needs building control.
