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
- Vapour control layer where the design needs one

Questions about rafter insulation in Suffolk
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Yes. We cover every town and village in Suffolk, including Ipswich, Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds.
Which council covers my address in Suffolk?
Addresses in Suffolk come under Suffolk council. The council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
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.
