Home / Insulation / Room in Roof Insulation

Room in roof insulation, the slopes, the cheeks and the bits that get missed.

A converted loft or dormer is often the coldest room in winter and the hottest in summer, because the insulation stops where the room starts. We insulate the sloping ceilings, the side walls and the flat ceiling as one envelope, for homeowners and for housing programmes, with the room finished ready to decorate.

What is room in roof insulation?

Specialist insulation for converted loft spaces

Room in Roof insulation involves insulating the sloping ceiling, vertical walls (cheeks), and flat ceiling of a converted loft space. Unlike standard loft insulation, this requires specialist installation to maintain the usable room while dramatically improving thermal performance.

“Energy Giants played a pivotal role in over 100 installations for Next Energy, Internal Wall Insulation, Room in Roof and Flat Roof Insulation. Their commitment to excellence and quality workmanship contributed significantly to the success of our projects.”

Chris McNelis, Head of Commercial Installations, Next Energy
Track record

Over a hundred room in roof and solid wall installs for one energy supplier.

Room in roof work is fiddly, inside the home and easy to do badly, which is why programmes ask for installers who have done it at volume. Ours have, and our retrofit assessment and coordination are done in house under PAS 2035, the same way we run the Aspire Housing whole house programme.

FAQs

Room in roof insulation questions, answered

What areas are insulated in a room in roof installation?

We insulate three key areas: the sloping ceiling (rafters), the vertical walls known as cheeks, and the flat ceiling at the top. This creates a complete thermal envelope around the room.

Will room in roof insulation add value to my property?

Yes. A properly insulated and finished loft room can add up to 15% to your property value by creating additional usable living space with year round comfort.

How long does the installation take?

Room in roof insulation typically takes 2 to 3 days to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your loft space. This includes insulation, plasterboarding, and finishing.

What guarantee do I get?

All room in roof installations come with our own guarantee, providing independent assurance that the work has been carried out to the highest standards.

Do you work for housing associations, councils and contractors?

Yes. Room in roof insulation is one of the measures we have delivered at volume, including over a hundred installs for Next Energy alongside internal wall and flat roof work. Our retrofit assessment and coordination are done in house. See our case studies or the sub contracting page.

Do you insulate dormers and the stud walls behind the eaves?

Yes, and that is the point. The dormer cheeks and the short stud walls behind the eaves are where most converted rooms lose their heat, and they are the parts a standard loft insulation job leaves alone. We treat the slopes, the cheeks, the stud walls and the residual loft voids as one envelope.

Is there funding for room in roof insulation?

Funding changes often, so ask us for the current position. As of September 2026 the Warm Homes: Local Grant, run through councils, funds insulation for eligible lower income households, and social landlords have the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund. We deliver under these programmes for councils and landlords, and we will tell a homeowner honestly whether they are likely to qualify.
