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.
- Build-up designed for your type of roof underlay

Questions about rafter insulation in New Milton
Do you charge extra to travel to New Milton?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to New Milton. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can you visit New Milton 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.
How do I pay for work in New Milton?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
