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.

Questions about loft ventilation in Bury St Edmunds
Is loft work in Bury St Edmunds 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 Bury St Edmunds?
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 cover all of IP33?
Yes, we cover the IP33 postcode district and the districts around Bury St Edmunds.
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.
