Free Room in Roof Insulation Grants
More of the heat in your home is lost through the roof than any other single part of the building. In most homes, loft insulation helps trap heat and prevent it from being lost, but when your attic space is a room, traditional forms of loft insulation aren’t practical.
What is Room-in-Roof Insulation?
More of the heat in your home is lost through the roof than any other single part of the building. In most homes, loft insulation helps trap heat and prevent it from being lost, but when your attic space is a room, traditional forms of loft insulation aren’t practical.
Room-in-roof insulation (or ‘RIRI’) ensures that when you have a dormer or converted loft, you don’t have to compromise on warmth or energy efficiency. And with a room-in-roof insulation grant through the ECO4 scheme, you could get it for free.
How does Room-in-Roof Insulation work?
When we install room-in-roof insulation, we place insulated plasterboard on all elements of the room in roof. This added layer of insulation doesn’t just make the attic room warmer in winter by trapping heat inside; it regulates the temperature in summer too by deflecting it away.
Key benefits of Room-in-Roof Insulation
According to the Installation Assurance Authority, room in roof installation can cut an average of £395 from home energy bills each year.
If you’ve ever spent time in an uninsulated attic room, you’ll know they can be freezing in winter and blisteringly hot in summer. RIR insulation helps regulate temperature all year round, so your loft room is much more comfortable place to be.
The better your home’s energy performance, the better its rating will be. That could make a difference when selling your home. Room-in-roof insulation could add between two and fifteen points to your energy rating, depending on the size of the attic room, the insulation used and the area insulated.
As it sits behind the plasterboard, you won’t see the insulation that’s helping to keep your loft space warm.
Lower energy consumption means a lower carbon footprint. Install room in roof insulation with the help of a free Government grant and your home will be a greener, more environmentally friendly place to be.
Can we get free Room-in-Roof Insulation grants for you?
If you’re a private tenant, a homeowner or a landlord* and the home is in Council Tax bands A to D and its energy rating is D or below you might be able to get a RIRI grant for the work.
If you’re on a low income and in receipt of certain benefits, your room in roof grant could cover the whole cost of the work. If you’re not in receipt of benefits but do meet the other criteria listed above, you may still be able to claim a room-in-roof insulation grant although it may not cover the full cost of the work.
