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.
- Rigid insulation between the rafters, joints taped
- Build-up designed for your type of roof underlay
- Insulated plasterboard lining where specified

Questions about rafter insulation in Arnold
How soon can you visit a home in Arnold?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Can a landlord in Arnold book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
How do I pay for work in Arnold?
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.
