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.
- A note of air leaks from the house that need sealing
- Eaves trays where insulation could block airflow
- Soffit, tile or ridge vents as specified

How much does loft ventilation cost in Whitchurch?
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 Whitchurch
Is loft work in Whitchurch 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.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Whitchurch?
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 take on jobs outside Whitchurch?
Yes. We also work in Market Drayton and Oswestry and elsewhere in Shropshire.
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.
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.
