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.

Questions about loft ventilation in Bishop's Stortford

Do you take on jobs outside Bishop's Stortford?

Yes. We also work in Ware and Hoddesdon and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.

Is loft work in Bishop's Stortford 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 Bishop's Stortford?

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.

Will extra vents make my house colder?

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

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.
