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.

- Soffit, tile or ridge vents as specified

Why book with us in Kelso
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Fixed written price
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.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
How much does loft ventilation cost in Kelso?
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 Kelso
How do I pay for work in Kelso?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Kelso?
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.
Do you charge extra to travel to Kelso?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Kelso. 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.
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.
