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 Chepstow
What do I need to do before you arrive in Chepstow?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Do you charge extra to travel to Chepstow?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Chepstow. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you take on jobs outside Chepstow?
Yes. We also work in Monmouth and Newport (Gwent) and elsewhere in Gwent.
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.
Is insulating between the rafters better than the loft floor?
Not for saving energy alone. Insulating the floor heats less space and costs far less. Rafter insulation is the right answer when the loft itself needs to be warm.
