What is Room in Roof Insulation?

Room in roof insulation is a specialist energy-saving upgrade designed for properties with a converted attic or loft space used as a living area, such as a bedroom, study, or playroom. These spaces often lose heat rapidly through sloped ceilings, walls, and dormer windows — resulting in higher energy bills and colder rooms.

With room in roof insulation, high-performance insulation boards or batts are installed between the rafters and behind stud walls, creating a continuous thermal barrier that locks in warmth and reduces heat loss through the roof structure.

✅ Converted attic rooms or loft bedrooms
✅ Sloped ceilings, dormers, or gable walls
✅ Rooms accessed via a permanent staircase

This upgrade helps keep your upstairs rooms cosy year-round, lowers heating costs, and improves your home’s EPC rating — all with zero upfront cost under the GBIS or ECO4 government schemes.

Understanding the Free Room in Roof Insulation Government Scheme

The Free Room in Roof Insulation Scheme is part of the UK Government’s energy-efficiency initiatives — including the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) and ECO4. These schemes are designed to help homeowners and tenants in Scotland reduce heat loss and energy bills while making their homes warmer and more efficient.

If your home has a converted loft or room built into the roof, and it lacks proper insulation behind walls and sloped ceilings, you could be losing a significant amount of heat — especially in colder months.

Room in Roof Insulation involves fitting thermal insulation boards between the rafters and walls of these attic-style rooms, helping to retain warmth and improve your home’s overall energy performance.

✅ The grant is fully funded by the government
✅ Includes assessment, materials, and professional installation
✅ Applicable for EPC (D to G) rated homes

With this upgrade, households can save up to £400+ per year on heating costs and enjoy a warmer, more comfortable living space.
