Roof Insulation

No More Wasted Heat

Over 25% of boiler generated heats escape through the roof every year across households in the UK. The Renewables People is on hand to support every homeowner and tenant that qualifies for roof insulation installations funded under ECO 4.

How It Works

Roof insulation traps heat and helps maintain desired temperatures in homes. There are several types of roof insulation, including room-in-roof, loft, and rafter insulation.

Installation Process

01

Assessment

The first step is to assess whether the house is suitable for a room-in-roof insulation installation

02

Fitting

The next step is to gain access to concealed areas for correct insulation fitting.

03

Manufacturing

Insulation boards are then manufactured as per household requirements

04

Board Fitting

Boards are then fit between rafters and plasterboard walls for heat retention.

05

Reboarding

The roof is reboarded and re-plasterd for a warm living space

*Note – Room-in-roof insulation usually takes two days to complete

Loft Insulation

01

Rolling

Insulation rolls, made from earth wool, are rolled in between the loft’s joists.

02

Layering

An additional layer is placed over the top to prevent any gaps where heat could potentially escape.

03

Draught-proofing

Insulation rolls are then bagged and fixed to the loft hatch, with draught-proofing applied to the rebate.

*Note – The whole process should take about one hour, assuming the loft is clear before starting.

Raft Insulation

01

Assessment

The first step is to ascertain the type of insulation to install: spray foam or rigid boards.

02

Clearing

Clear out the attic space before installation.

03

Foam Application

If spray foam insulation is being installed, apply it evenly to the underside of the roof decking between the rafters. If rigid boards are being installed, cut them to size and insert them between the rafters.

04

Drying and curing

Spray foam insulation allows time for insulation to dry and cure. Note: The whole process takes longer than standard loft insulation, but experienced installers can complete the process within a day in most cases.
