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.

Photos of the finished loft
You see the work done without climbing the ladder.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
How much does loft ventilation cost in Inverness?
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 standards in Scotland
In Scotland, insulating an existing loft does not normally need a building warrant, but the building standards still apply. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about loft ventilation in Inverness
What do I need to do before you arrive in Inverness?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Is loft work in Inverness 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 charge extra to travel to Inverness?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Inverness. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
