Ridge & Tile Vent Installation — Ashington
If your Ashington loft smells musty, or your rafters are black-spotted, ventilation is the answer. We add either eave vents (over-fascia strips), tile vents mid-slope, or a ventilated ridge — the right combination depends on the roof. We're regularly on roofs close to the A189, through Hirst and Newbiggin-edge.
- Eave vents (over-fascia continuous strip, or discrete vent tiles)
- Ridge vents — either full continuous or spot ridge-vent tiles
- Tile-mounted through-vents mid-slope for hipped roofs
- Underlay lap vents if the felt underlay is fully lapped and sealed
- Damp-meter survey at the start so we can prove improvement after
- Part F Building Regs compliance on completion

Roof ventilation in Ashington — FAQs
How much does a full ventilation upgrade cost?+
Typical semi with over-fascia vent and dry-ridge conversion: £700–£1,400 depending on scaffold. Individual tile-vent additions from £150 each fitted.
Will this stop black mould in the loft?+
Yes, provided the underlying source is condensation (not a roof leak). We check with a damp meter first so we're fixing the actual problem.
Is a mechanical fan (PIV) needed as well?+
Sometimes — if the house has severe living-space condensation, a PIV unit in the loft complements roof-side vents. We flag it if we see it; we don't force-sell it.
Do you cover Ashington?+
Yes — NE63 in full.
