Why timing matters
Upgrading insulation during a re-roof avoids the extra cost and disruption of doing it as a separate project later, since the roof structure is already exposed.
Between-rafter versus over-rafter insulation
Insulation can be fitted between the rafters, over them, or a combination of both — the right approach depends on the roof structure and how much headroom matters in any loft space below.
Meeting current building regulations
Depending on the extent of the re-roof, current insulation standards may apply — worth understanding upfront rather than finding out partway through the project.
The payback beyond comfort
Better roof insulation reduces heat loss significantly, which shows up in lower heating costs over time, alongside the more immediate comfort benefit.
We cover new build and re-roofing projects throughout Chester, Crewe, Warrington, Northwich, Winsford, Macclesfield, Knutsford, Wilmslow and across the rest of Cheshire and the Wirral. If you're planning a re-roof, our team can talk through insulation upgrade options as part of the same project.
