What it does to your grade

Room-in-roof insulation typically adds 7.9 EPC points, at about £266 a point. A grade band is 11–14 points wide, so on its own it rarely moves a whole grade — it is bought for the points, and combined with the other cheap measures on the list.

DCa grade costs roughly £3,198 at this measure’s rate
