This is done by adding insulation material to the floor of the roof space, which helps to prevent heat loss from the living space and improve the building’s energy efficiency.
The material is installed between the ceiling joists or over the ceiling, and the walls of the roof space are also insulated.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION TAKES BETWEEN 1-2 WEEKS
£250
Installing room-in-roof insulation can save you up to £250 per year on energy bills by reducing heat loss through your roof space, especially if your loft is already insulated.
25%
Up to 25% of your home's heat can be lost through an uninsulated roof, and room-in-roof insulation can significantly reduce this loss, keeping your upper rooms warmer and more comfortable.

All of our Room In Roof Insulation Installs come with a 25 year guarantee.
Room in roof insulation can be a cost-effective way to improve the energy efficiency of a building, as it helps to reduce the amount of heat that escapes through the roof. It can also help to create a more comfortable living space by reducing drafts and improving temperature stability, especially in a loft conversion which can become hotter in the summer months and colder during the winter.
I had Smart Energy Homes undertake the ECO4 works at my home. Rafal and his team arrived on time every day and even working until 7pm to get the job done. They spent 8 hours one day drilling a hole through the wall for an extract fan (the joys of granite).
Heat pump and solar were done by local companies and we are receiving payments for the excess electric generated.

Here are some commonly asked questions about Room In Roof Insulation, if you can’t find the answer to your question here please done hesitate to get in contact with us.
Room-in-roof insulation involves adding insulation to the sloping surfaces of a roof where a loft space has been converted into a usable room. This insulation helps to minimise heat loss and maintain a comfortable temperature in the living space below.
Room-in-roof insulation works by creating a thermal barrier between the interior of your home and the external environment. Insulating materials, such as rigid foam boards or mineral wool, are installed between the rafters or on the underside of the roof, preventing heat from escaping in winter and reducing heat buildup in summer.
The benefits include reduced energy bills, improved comfort in the room below, decreased risk of condensation and mould, and enhanced energy efficiency of your home. Additionally, it can increase the overall value of your property by making the space more liveable.
On average, homeowners can save between £200 to £250 per year on energy bills after installing room-in-roof insulation, depending on their home’s size and insulation quality. This is due to the reduction in heat loss through the roof.
While it is possible to install room-in-roof insulation yourself, professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and compliance with building regulations. Professionals can also help identify the best insulation materials and techniques for your specific roof structure.
The installation of room-in-roof insulation typically takes between 2 to 7 days, depending on the complexity of the project and the size of the area being insulated. This includes preparation, installation, and any necessary finishing work.
Depending on the type and thickness of insulation used, there may be a slight reduction in head height, especially if insulation is added to the rafter level. However, many homeowners find that the benefits of improved comfort and energy efficiency outweigh the minimal loss in height.
Yes, the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4), may provide funding for room-in-roof insulation. ECO4 is set up to help eligible homeowners improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs, at no cost.
