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

Questions about loft ventilation in Barking
How soon can you visit a home in Barking?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Is loft work in Barking 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.
How do I pay for work in Barking?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
