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.
- 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 Dudley
Can you visit Dudley outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can a landlord in Dudley book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
How do I pay for work in Dudley?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
