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.

Questions about rafter insulation in Tyne and Wear

Can you quote for several properties in Tyne and Wear?

Yes. Landlords and agents can send a list of addresses and we will survey them in as few visits as we can.

Which council covers my address in Tyne and Wear?

Councils in Tyne and Wear include Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and others. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.

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.
