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 Selkirk
What do I need to do before you arrive in Selkirk?
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 Selkirk?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Selkirk. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Will I get a written quote for work in Selkirk?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
