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 Cumbria
Which council covers my address in Cumbria?
Addresses in Cumbria come under Cumbria council. The council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
Can you quote for several properties in Cumbria?
Yes. Landlords and agents can send a list of addresses and we will survey them in as few visits as we can.
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.
