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.

Questions about room-in-roof insulation in the Scottish Borders

How do I book a survey in the Scottish Borders?

Send the form or call us. We call back to agree a time and confirm it in writing.

Can you quote for several properties in the Scottish Borders?

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

Will the room get smaller?

Slightly. Insulated plasterboard over the rafters takes a few centimetres off each slope.

Can it be done without removing the plasterboard?

Sometimes the flat ceiling and eaves voids can be reached from behind. The slopes almost always need the boards off to insulate them properly.
