About this service
When a loft is well insulated, the roof space above gets colder, so good airflow matters more. We keep the eaves open, add trays or vents where they’re needed and make sure warm, moist air from the house has a way out.
What’s included
- A look at how air moves through your roof
- Eaves trays to keep the airway open
- Tile or soffit vents where the roof needs them
- Gaps around the hatch and pipes sealed
- Advice on extractor fans that vent into the loft
- A written quote first
We price the job after looking at your loft. You get a written quotation before any work is agreed.
Why airflow matters
Every home puts water vapour into the air from cooking, washing and breathing. Some of it rises into the loft. If it meets cold timber or roof felt and has nowhere to go, it turns to water. A ventilated loft lets that moisture drift out before it can settle.
What we do
We keep insulation back from the eaves and fit trays so the gap can’t get blocked. Where a roof has little natural airflow, we add vents. We also seal the routes warm air takes from the house into the loft, like the hatch and pipe holes.
Done with your insulation
It makes sense to sort airflow at the same time as insulating, and we include it in the quote as standard where a loft needs it.
