  • Why Loft Ventilation is Important?

    Why Loft Ventilation is Important?

    Why Loft ventilation is so important: Ashbrook Roofing Supplies

    We usually only consider attic ventilation only when there is a problem, but because most of us only go up into the attic or loft a few times every year. Most of us don’t realise that there is a problem until it’s quite a problem.

    On one of our infrequent trips to the roof space, we might notice the suitcases were covered in mould…or perhaps just wet.  Further inspection might reveal that it’s not just the cases, but the roof felt, ceiling beams, etc.
    If so, you need to take action now!
