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 Sunderland
What do I need to do before you arrive in Sunderland?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Can you visit Sunderland 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.
Do you charge extra to travel to Sunderland?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Sunderland. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
