Roof insulation might feel like a modern addition, but the principle trapping warm air and keeping the cold out — is as old as roofing itself, once achieved with thatch and thick timber rather than modern materials. We fit professional insulation on every re-roof we carry out, whether for a new build or an existing Sheffield home, ensuring proper ventilation and weatherproofing in line with current building regulations, and we handle the Sheffield City Council building notice for you.

Poorly insulated or badly ventilated roofs are a leading cause of energy loss and condensation problems in Sheffield homes. Our team ensures every insulation project is installed correctly, with the right balance of insulation and ventilation, and handles the necessary building notice applications with Sheffield City Council so you don’t have to.

Do I need planning permission for roof insulation?
Most roof insulation work falls under a building notice rather than full planning permission we handle the Sheffield City Council building notice application for you where required.

How much can roof insulation save on energy bills?
A well-insulated roof can significantly reduce heat loss, helping lower heating costs the exact saving depends on your property’s current insulation levels.

What’s the difference between cold roof and warm roof insulation?
Cold roof insulation sits between and over the ceiling joists, while warm roof insulation is fitted above the rafters. We can advise which is best suited to your property.

Can insulation be added without removing the roof covering?
In many cases yes, particularly for loft-level insulation, full roof replacements offer an ideal opportunity to upgrade insulation at the same time.
