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.
- Insulated plasterboard lining where specified
- Rigid insulation between the rafters, joints taped
- Vapour control layer where the design needs one

Questions about rafter insulation in Frome
Do you cover all of BA11?
Yes, we cover the BA11 postcode district and the districts around Frome.
Do you take on jobs outside Frome?
Yes. We also work in Shepton Mallet and Bath and elsewhere in Somerset.
Can a landlord in Frome book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
