Room-in-roof insulation with foil vapour layer and new rafters, Craiglockhart, Edinburgh

Room-in-roof insulation in Edinburgh

Victorian terraces, 1930s dormer bungalows in Corstorphine and Blackhall, and converted attics across the city often have cold coombed rooms. It's one of the jobs we're asked about most in Edinburgh.

We cover Leith, Portobello, Morningside, Corstorphine, Gilmerton, Currie and Musselburgh. More about our work in Edinburgh.

Recent job, Craiglockhart: new rafters, insulation between them and a taped foil vapour layer across the whole room, ready for plasterboard.

What we insulate

A room in the roof loses heat through five surfaces: the sloping coombs, the flat ceiling above, the dwarf walls, the gables and the eaves spaces behind the dwarf walls. Most are bare or barely insulated.

  • Coombs: PIR or wood fibre between the rafters with a ventilation gap, plus a layer under the rafters to stop cold bridging.
  • Dwarf walls and gables: insulated and boarded on the cold side.
  • Eaves and flat ceiling: mineral wool or wool to the depth each needs.

Then plasterboard, ready for skim. It's joinery from start to finish, which is what we do. More on room-in-roof insulation.

What customers say

Scot-Therm did an amazing job of our cavity walls and loft insulation. So helpful, quick, and hardly left a trace. Could not recommend them enough.

Room-in-roof insulation questions

Do you do room-in-roof insulation in Edinburgh?

Yes. We insulate attic rooms, coombed ceilings and loft conversions across Edinburgh, starting with a free survey.

Do the ceilings have to come down?

Usually the sloping ceilings do, to insulate between the rafters properly. Sometimes we can insulate over sound plasterboard at the cost of a little headroom.

How long does it take?

Two to five days for a typical attic room, depending on size and how much needs stripping out.

Is room-in-roof insulation grant-funded?

It's an eligible measure under Scottish schemes for qualifying households. We'll check for you.
