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 Sunderland
Will I get a written quote for work in Sunderland?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can a landlord in Sunderland book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you take on jobs outside Sunderland?
Yes. We also work in Washington and Houghton-le-Spring and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear.
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.
Is insulating between the rafters better than the loft floor?
Not for saving energy alone. Insulating the floor heats less space and costs far less. Rafter insulation is the right answer when the loft itself needs to be warm.
