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.

Questions about rafter insulation in Bury St Edmunds

How do I pay for work in Bury St Edmunds?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.

Is loft work in Bury St Edmunds different from anywhere else?

The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.

Do you cover all of IP33?

Yes, we cover the IP33 postcode district and the districts around Bury St Edmunds.

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.
