Loft & roof insulation
Book Loft & roof insulationLoft insulation involves laying insulating material, typically rolls or blown-in fibre, between and over the joists in your loft. For room-in-roof insulation, insulating boards or rolls are fitted between and over the rafters, turning an unheated space into a warm one.
When do you need a Loft & roof insulation?
