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.
- Soffit, tile or ridge vents as specified
- Eaves trays where insulation could block airflow
- A note of air leaks from the house that need sealing
Why book with us in Solihull
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Photos of the finished loft
You see the work done without climbing the ladder.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
How much does loft ventilation cost in Solihull?
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 Solihull
Do you take on jobs outside Solihull?
Yes. We also work in Acocks Green and Washwood Heath and elsewhere in the West Midlands.
Will I get a written quote for work in Solihull?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Is loft work in Solihull 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.
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.
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.
