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
- Soffit, tile or ridge vents as specified
- Eaves trays where insulation could block airflow
Why book with us in Dorset
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
Photos of the finished loft
You see the work done without climbing the ladder.
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
How much does loft ventilation cost in Dorset?
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 Dorset
Which council covers my address in Dorset?
Councils in Dorset include Dorset and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Yes. We cover every town and village in Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth.
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.
Will extra vents make my house colder?
No. The vents ventilate the loft above the insulation, not the rooms below.
