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 Bathgate
Will I get a written quote for work in Bathgate?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Is loft work in Bathgate 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.
Do you take on jobs outside Bathgate?
Yes. We also work in Livingston and Broxburn and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
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.
