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.
- A note of air leaks from the house that need sealing
- Eaves trays where insulation could block airflow
- Soffit, tile or ridge vents as specified
Why book with us in Cambridge
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.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
How much does loft ventilation cost in Cambridge?
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.
Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about loft ventilation in Cambridge
Do you cover all of CB2?
Yes, we cover the CB2 postcode district and the districts around Cambridge.
Do you take on jobs outside Cambridge?
Yes. We also work in Royston and St Ives (Cambridgeshire) and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire.
Can a landlord in Cambridge book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
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.
