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.
- Soffit, tile or ridge vents as specified
- Eaves trays where insulation could block airflow

We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
How much does loft ventilation cost in Dorchester?
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

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.
Will extra vents make my house colder?
No. The vents ventilate the loft above the insulation, not the rooms below.
