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.

Questions about rafter insulation in Stanley
Will I get a written quote for work in Stanley?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How do I pay for work in Stanley?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you cover all of DH9?
Yes, we cover the DH9 postcode district and the districts around Stanley.
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.
