Hi,

I was busy painting my fascia/soffit boards at lunctime when some bloke
wandered past and told me that my soffits had no vents in them and this was
Not A Good Thing.

A quick lecture on roof ventilation and a wander round revealed the
following.

No vents in any of the soffits.
No gable end vents in the wall of the house.
No vents in the roof or ridege.


My soffits are wooden so I was thinking of installing something like this:

However my question is, will soffit vents be enough to create some airflow
(the house does get very hot upstairs in summer) or do I need some
roof/ridge vents as well.

Something like this

thse easy to fit?


The house has a large roof with a pretty shallow pitch and concrete tiles.



Thanks in advance.
