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
- Insulated plasterboard lining where specified

Questions about rafter insulation in Erskine
Do you cover all of PA8?
Yes, we cover the PA8 postcode district and the districts around Erskine.
How do I pay for work in Erskine?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can a landlord in Erskine book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
