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.
- Eaves trays where insulation could block airflow
- A note of air leaks from the house that need sealing
- Soffit, tile or ridge vents as specified
Why book with us in Wells
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.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
How much does loft ventilation cost in Wells?
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 Wells
Do you take on jobs outside Wells?
Yes. We also work in Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury and elsewhere in Somerset.
Will I get a written quote for work in Wells?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Wells?
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.
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.
