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
Why book with us in Atherton
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.

How much does loft ventilation cost in Atherton?
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
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about loft ventilation in Atherton
Is loft work in Atherton 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 soon can you visit a home in Atherton?
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.
Do you take on jobs outside Atherton?
Yes. We also work in Tyldesley and Westhoughton and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
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.
