Get expert help for your room in the roof insulation (RITR)

Home improvements like loft conversions can add more spaces such as additional bedrooms and add value to your property but you do not want to let the financial benefits seep away. Room in the roof insulation can enhance your investment and keep your property warm and ensuring that you don’t spend more than you have to on your energy bills.

Do I really need this type of insulation?

If you think abot around a quarter of the heat in a property without insulation will be lost through the roof then it is easy to see why this can be such a great investment. You could save as much as £240 every year on your heating bills and, as the product can last for as long as 40 years, there will be plenty of time to appreciate the returns on your investment.

You do not need to be worried about the practicalities of having it installed, either. Our insulation experts are on hand to set your mind at rest and to answer any questions you may have.

We will visit your home and take a look at your space, whether you are already making use of a loft as a room or are still at the loft conversion stage. We are then perfectly placed to offer the best advice possible to help you decide on exactly the right options for you. 

What is it?

Insulation boarding is used to keep heat inside your property. The insulation boards, which are usually made from polyurethane or polystyrene, are installed behind the walls of your loft room and in gaps between joists. This will prevent the space from being overly affected by changes in the outside temperature and will ensure that you are not paying through the nose for heat that just escapes through your roof.

How will it work?

The insulation boarding between your rafters will trap the warm air in your property and offer you protection against the cold outside. It will create a completely waterproof barrier and prevent warm air from rising through your property and making its escape through your roof.

How will the insulation be installed?

This will all depend on whether or not you have already converted the area in your loft or not. If you already use your loft as living space then the insulation boarding will be cut to size and placed beneath your walls. To do this, we may need to remove roof tiles or the ceiling. Another choice is to add an extra layer to your ceiling to accommodate the insulation but this would depend on the head room available.

If you have not converted yet your loft then you can have installation boards installed as part of the conversion project. roof insulation can provide.

Does it need to be professionally installed?

We would always recommend that you this installed by experienced experts, such as our team members. This will ensure that you receive the maximum benefits and do not encounter issues that could prove costly to put right.

Installation should take no more than a day and you can start feeling the benefits almost immediately.
