Roof ventilation for slate, tiled, and flat roofs
Improve airflow across your roof space
Roof ventilation is vital.
Modern construction methods use a breather membrane prior to the fixing of slates or tiles, but older properties do not.
Heat loss from the living areas into your cold attic during winter will condense into water vapour without adequate ventilation.
This water vapour will be absorbed by the roof timbers and if not addressed will lead to damp and mould growth inside your roof void. (see image)
Proper roof ventilation and insulation will stop this issue developing into an expensive repair.
Signs your property may need roof ventilation
W. Irvine Slating and Roofing helps identify common signs linked to poor roof airflow and trapped moisture, including:
-
Condensation inside loft spaces.
-
Damp smells within upper rooms.
-
Mould forming near ceilings or roof timbers.
-
Excess moisture around insulation.
-
Stale or humid air inside attic areas.
-
Roofing materials showing signs of moisture damage.
-
Poor airflow within enclosed roof spaces.
We inspect roofing structures carefully and provide suitable ventilation improvements that support healthier airflow across the property.
