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.

Questions about loft ventilation in Castle Douglas

Can you visit Castle Douglas outside working hours?

Is loft work in Castle Douglas different from anywhere else?

The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.

Will extra vents make my house colder?

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

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.
