Roof ventilation
Condensation, mould or a stuffy roof space: ventilation that lets the roof breathe, installed by a roofer.
Get a roofer for thisFree for homeowners. One roofer, chosen for your area and this job.
A roof space with no air movement collects moisture. In winter it condenses on the underside of the roofing, drips onto the insulation and shows up as damp ceilings and mould. Ventilation moves that air out.
Tell us what you are seeing. One roofer in your area who installs roof and ridge ventilation gets your enquiry.
Signs you need this
- Mould or damp patches on ceilings with no roof leak
- Drips from the roof space on cold mornings
- A hot, stuffy house in summer
- New insulation or a new roof that has changed how the space breathes
What the roofer will do
- Check for a genuine leak first, then the airflow in the roof space
- Install ridge, tile or eave vents, or a powered vent, to suit the roof
- Make sure the vents are flashed so they never become leaks themselves
How it works with us
- You tell us the job. Where the house is, what you have noticed, how urgent it is, and a photo if it is safe to take one.
- A person checks it. Someone on our team reads every enquiry. We are not a form that forwards itself.
- One roofer gets it. A roofer who works in your area and does this kind of job. Only one, so you are not fielding ten calls.
- They contact you. Usually within a working day, to talk through the job and arrange a look.
Questions people ask
Is it a leak or condensation?
Condensation shows on cold mornings and clears; a leak follows rain. A roofer can tell quickly and fix either.
Does ventilation help in summer?
Yes, venting hot air out of the roof space makes the rooms below noticeably cooler.
Will more vents make the house colder?
Not when the ceiling is insulated. The roof space is meant to be ventilated; the insulation keeps the house warm.
