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.
- Eaves trays where insulation could block airflow
- Soffit, tile or ridge vents as specified
- A note of air leaks from the house that need sealing

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.
