Roof Insulation in Mortonhall — FAQs
Do I need roof insulation in my Mortonhall home?
If you have a room in the roof, dormer, or loft conversion in your 1970s detached and property in Mortonhall, roof insulation between and over the rafters is essential. Without it, up to 25% of your heating escapes directly through the roof.
How much does roof insulation cost in Mortonhall?
Roof insulation for a 1970s detached and property in Mortonhall costs £1,000–£3,500 depending on roof size and access. Rafter-level insulation for loft rooms is more complex than standard loft insulation but essential for comfort.
What's the difference between loft and roof insulation?
Loft insulation sits on the loft floor (above ceilings) — used when the loft is unoccupied. Roof insulation sits between rafters — used when the loft is a living space. Many 1970s detached and properties in Mortonhall need rafter-level insulation.
