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. We check the roof underlay first: a breathable membrane and a felt with no ventilation gap need different build-ups to avoid condensation. More about rafter insulation.
- Insulated plasterboard lining where specified
- Rigid insulation between the rafters, joints taped

We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
How much does rafter insulation cost in Oxfordshire?
Part of this work can be zero-rated as energy-saving materials until 31 March 2027, and part is standard-rated. If VAT applies, your quote shows which is which.
Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about rafter insulation in Oxfordshire
How do I book a survey in Oxfordshire?
Send the form or call us. We call back to agree a time and confirm it in writing.
Are your prices the same across Oxfordshire?
Yes. Our guide prices are the same everywhere we work, and they include normal travel. Your fixed price depends on your loft, not your postcode.
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.
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.
