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
- Vapour control layer where the design needs one
- Insulated plasterboard lining where specified

Questions about rafter insulation in Huddersfield
Do you take on jobs outside Huddersfield?
Yes. We also work in Brighouse and Mirfield and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.
How do I pay for work in Huddersfield?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can you visit Huddersfield 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.
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.
