What is loft ventilation?
Most pitched roofs are ventilated at the eaves, sometimes with high-level vents as well. Where there are no vents, we add soffit vents, tile or slate vents, or ridge vents, depending on the roof covering and the underlay. More about loft ventilation.

Plain-English advice

Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
How much does loft ventilation cost in Oban?
This work is not an energy-saving material for VAT, so it is standard-rated if VAT applies. Where it is done alongside insulation, the quote shows each part separately.

Questions about loft ventilation in Oban
Can you take on work in Oban?
Sometimes. Oban is outside our normal travelling area, so we look at each job first. If we can help, any travel cost is shown on the quote before you book, and nothing is booked until you agree it.
Will I get a written quote for work in Oban?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can a landlord in Oban book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
Does my loft need ventilation after insulation?
A cold loft needs a path for outside air, usually at the eaves. New insulation must not block it, which is why we fit eaves trays.
