Fix Loft Condensation, Blyth
Building regs (Part F) say the roof needs a specific area of ventilation per metre of eave and ridge. Most Blyth homes built before 2010 fall short — we bring them up to spec in one visit. We're regularly on roofs close to the A189, out around Port of Blyth, through Cowpen and Newsham.
- 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 Blyth — 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 Blyth?+
Yes — NE24 in full.
