What is loft ventilation?

Most pitched roofs are ventilated at the eaves, sometimes with high-level vents as well. Insulation pushed into the eaves can block that path, which is why we fit ventilation trays. More about loft ventilation.

Questions about loft ventilation in Argyll and Bute

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

Mainland towns such as Dunoon, Helensburgh and Lochgilphead are within our normal area. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, and travel may be priced separately.

Which council covers my address in Argyll and Bute?

Addresses in Argyll and Bute come under Argyll and Bute council. The council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.

Will extra vents make my house colder?

No. The vents ventilate the loft above the insulation, not the rooms below.

My bathroom fan vents into the loft. Is that a problem?

Yes. It pumps warm, wet air straight into the coldest part of the house. The duct should run to outside through a vent tile, soffit or wall.
