Understand your roof space

A room in your roof.
A space worth improving.

A room in roof is a living space within the roof, usually reached by a fixed staircase. It may be a converted attic, a bedroom with sloping ceilings or an upper room in a dormer bungalow.

Insulation needs to follow the room’s shape. We’ll assess the existing construction and explain which surfaces need attention.

Different from an unused loft.

Standard loft insulation usually sits on the floor of an unheated loft. A lived-in roof space needs a different approach around the room itself.

Follow the shape of your room

Every surface.
One considered plan.

The assessment looks at the ceilings, sloping sections, walls and accessible spaces around your room. The final specification depends on the building and the insulation already in place.

Diagram for illustration. Materials, thicknesses and details will be specified for your property.

We assess the roof build-up, available space and access to explain the proposed insulation approach.

Side walls and eaves

The areas alongside the room form part of the plan, including access hatches and junctions between surfaces.

Dormers and roof windows

The design needs to consider the details around openings and where different elements meet.

Ventilation and moisture

Roof condition, moisture and ventilation must be considered before insulation is fitted. Existing leaks or damp need assessment first.

A few things you might be wondering

Your room in roof
questions, answered.

Need advice about your own home?

Ask our team →
Is my attic a room in roof?

A living space within the roof, usually accessed by a fixed staircase, may be a room in roof. Tell us about the layout and we’ll help establish the appropriate insulation approach.

How is this different from loft insulation?

Standard loft insulation is usually fitted on the floor of an unused loft. Room in roof insulation addresses the surfaces around a lived-in roof space.

Will insulation reduce headroom?

The specified build-up can affect the room’s dimensions. We’ll explain the proposed changes and any constraints before work is agreed.

Will the room need redecorating?

Existing linings may need work to allow installation. Confirm the finishing standard, decoration and reinstatement arrangements in your proposal.

What if my roof has damp or leaks?

Tell us before installation. The cause needs assessment and any necessary work must be addressed as part of the plan.

How long will the work take?

Timing depends on the size, construction, access and preparation required. We’ll discuss the expected duration before booking.

Can I get help with the cost?

Funding depends on current schemes, location, household circumstances and property suitability. Our team can discuss options and explain any contribution before work proceeds.

How much could I save?

Savings depend on your home, existing insulation and heating use. We’ll discuss the proposed improvement without promising a fixed reduction in bills.

Can tenants and landlords enquire?

Yes. Tell us your circumstances. Permissions and any funding requirements must be confirmed before installation.
