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
- Soffit, tile or ridge vents as specified
- Eaves trays where insulation could block airflow
Why book with us in Gosforth
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.
No pressure selling
You get everything in writing and decide in your own time.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
How much does loft ventilation cost in Gosforth?
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 Gosforth
What do I need to do before you arrive in Gosforth?
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.
How do I pay for work in Gosforth?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you take on jobs outside Gosforth?
Yes. We also work in Newcastle upon Tyne and Wallsend and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear.
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.
Will extra vents make my house colder?
No. The vents ventilate the loft above the insulation, not the rooms below.
