What is room-in-roof insulation?
Most rooms-in-roof are reached by stripping the existing plasterboard on the slopes, fitting insulation between and over the rafters, and re-boarding. Where there is access behind the knee walls, we insulate the eaves voids and the floor behind them too. More about room-in-roof insulation.
- Insulation to slopes, knee walls and flat ceiling
- Eaves voids insulated where accessible

Questions about room-in-roof insulation in Edinburgh
Do you cover all of EH2?
Yes, we cover the EH2 postcode district and the districts around Edinburgh.
Is loft work in Edinburgh 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.
How soon can you visit a home in Edinburgh?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
How long does room-in-roof insulation take?
Usually three to six working days for one room, depending on how much is stripped and how it is finished.
Will the room get smaller?
Slightly. Insulated plasterboard over the rafters takes a few centimetres off each slope.
