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. It earns its place when you need a warm loft. 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 Wokingham
Do you cover all of RG40?
Yes, we cover the RG40 postcode district and the districts around Wokingham.
Can you visit Wokingham outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Will I get a written quote for work in Wokingham?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
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.
