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
- Vapour control layer where the design needs one
- Rigid insulation between the rafters, joints taped

Questions about rafter insulation in Kirkby
How do I pay for work in Kirkby?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Is loft work in Kirkby different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
Do you charge extra to travel to Kirkby?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Kirkby. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
