A properly maintained and well-insulated roof can play an important role in the overall energy efficiency of a property. The Federation of Master Builders notes that around 25% of heat can escape through the roof in a typical uninsulated UK home.
When carrying out roofing work, we can consider areas such as:
- Roof insulation
- Ventilation
- Replacement membranes and underlay
- Air leakage
- Roof construction
- Suitable modern roofing materials
Where a roof requires replacement, it can provide an opportunity to improve insulation and overall thermal performance at the same time.
