ROOF AND LOFT INSULATION

Around 25% of the heat in your home escapes through an uninsulated roof making it an ideal candidate for increasing the thermal efficiency of your home and reducing energy bills by adding Loft or Roof Insulation.

The method of Roof, Attic or Loft Insulation can depend on how the area is used. Using the loft space for storage can be achieved at floor level (over joists) but may require the floor level to be raised. If it’s to be used as a living space then sloping ceilings (between and over rafters), vertical walls and flat ceiling areas must all be insulated. If the loft or attic is hard to access or is a flat roof then insulation can be applied from above referred to as a warm roof structure, the existing roof is stripped externally with a new waterproof layer on top before refinishing with the existing or a new roof tiles or covering, this method is particularly useful if your roof covering already requires replacement.

With insulating the roof of a property there are many other considerations that need to be accessed such as existing damp issues, ventilation, water pipes and water tanks.
