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 Tonbridge
Can a landlord in Tonbridge book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you take on jobs outside Tonbridge?
Yes. We also work in Royal Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks and elsewhere in Kent.
Can you visit Tonbridge 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.
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.
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.
