Thanks for the share, you made it look so easy, all I need is a big enough ladder to find out what roof tile is needed
Great video Dan 👍 just one tip from me if I may ! When ducting in roof spaces that can get very cold in the winter months, it’s always advisable to use the insulated ducting to stop the moisture in the air that’s being pumped out, condensing back into water droplets to quickly and trickling back down the inside of the ducting causing damage to the fan and or surrounding ceiling. Hope this helps because you’ve certainly helped me on my journey. Many thanks and looking forward to watching more of your progress and journey.
Hey Chris,
Thanks very much for watching and for your comment, this is gold advise, thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to try and help me, I`m far from an expert.
Have a great day.
Very Healpul this is exactly what I need to my kitchen and same roof tiles I have. Very helpful will do it soon. thank you
Very decent video 😀
I would add following;
1. Use gloves. Roof tiles tend to be rough and cut through skin easily. Also it takes 1s to accidently drop or clip your skin with other tiles amd get a lasting blister.
Just use gloves.
2. It's much easier to lower the tiles down if you simply raise the overlapping tile on the left (can be on the right but it's the tile overlapping so pressing down your raised tiles and causing them to block).
By raining I mean using a rubber end of the hammer to keep it raised and than all pushed up tiles will slide down easily like butter with no effort at all.
Remove the hammer at the end (lift by hand and take hammer away).
1 more thing.
Some roofs been installed by really overzealous roofers and every tile is nailed down. If you got that problem simply use a crowbar with 1 end flat. Sometimes you can just use 90 deg.side to lift the nails but occasionally the flat bit will help.
Don't whack the tiles up where every tile is nailed. Many roofers do it but if the nails are pretty long like on double roman or waved tiles you will shred the underlay by moving the tile up cause the nail will travel up with the sharp end sliding through the underlay.
Great info, thanks very much Peter.
Thanks Dan,. Successfully fitted tile vent off top of ladder. Luckily, no nails for me. Needed ladder offset and all went smoothly. Your video was a great help 👍
Very useful video, right to the point.
Hi Hian,
Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment.
Nice one, just what I needed.
You are more than welcome, thanks for watching 👍
Very nice video. I find all these hands on videos very helpful. Please continue these. All the best.
Hey Sherif,
Thanks very much for watching and for your comments, this is a new video style I`m trialling so this comment helps me understand if there is a need
Thanks, have a great day
Never knew that such a gizmo existed. Thanks for sharing!
I am intrigued on how the extractor performs across that length of flexible ducting and the bends and upright section it has. I have an inline extractor (which I think are more powerful?). It has a metre of duct coming into it from the bath extractor and it then has 1.5m going across the loft horizontally. It then goes up 1/2 a metre where it connects to an existing soil pipe (the remnants of one as its no longer used as a soil pipe and this probably goes a further metre upright as it pops out of the tiles. I find that my extractor works fine for a few weeks and then duct is then full of water and has to be manually cleared out. I deduced that the fan isn't powerful enough to push it through the run and configuration I have. Mine doesn't seem half as challenging as yours though. Very interested to hear your comments and thoughts on this. Thanks again.
Hi Asad,
Thanks very much for watching and for dropping a comment, the fan and ducting seem to be ok at the minute and I believe we are about 2 years in.
Cheers bud. Pulled me out this
Hi Paul,
Your more than welcome, I’m glad that my video was useful.
Thanks for dropping a comment 👍
Fabulous video nice and clear. I’m about to do this myself and was wondering how to go about it, seeing this video as given me the confidence in doing it. As someone mentioned previously I too was going to mention the fact that water would get back into the ducting but you’ve cleared that up. I just wondered whether that particular tile would suit a roof with double Roman tiles?
Thx for taking the time to do the video 👏
Hi Andrew,
Thank you very much for watching and for your comment.
Honestly, I`m not sure about the tile type, I used roofing ventilation to help identify my tile type, they were great.

I hope this helps
Thanks again for watching.
Good luck
Excellent
Thank you ☺️
Very useful video as I have the same concrete tiles. Putting air conditioning in my loft as gets too hot (despite Kingspan insulation). Ideally needs 4" plus which is not possible, hence the installation of an air conditioning unit. Have chosen an Avalla S-95 unit (made in the UK not China) and first test - it works well but is a little noisy. Once installed I hope it will make a big difference. Thanks for the video - it has been very useful esp how to easily move the tiles to allow vent tile to be fitted.
You are more than welcome, I’m really glad you got value from the video 👍
Actually did this on 5th September, and everything you demonstrated was spot on - even the nail in a tile that was removed to slide the tile in place. I was in a safety harness as was on top of a 2-storey house, a friend helped by passing me tools and stuff and prodding the underside of tiles to locate the correct tile. Hot day and all completed within the hour - I have never done any roofing projects before. 10/10 Dan - thank you.@@new2property
Very nice and informative - thank you for sharing.
What I'd like to know is what happens to the rain water and snow that falls through the vent grille?
Hi
Thanks very much for watching and for dropping a comment.
There is a tray behind the grill to catch any water and to stop it going through into the property.
hello really helpful video , im thinking of useing the same tile vent just to help my loft breath better for ventalation purpose as my current mushroom tiles are failing...
How do you stop the rain coming through vent ? cheers
Hi,
There is a gully behind the grate that allows the rain water to flow back out and onto the roof.
Thanks for watching and for dropping a question
I'm not a roofer either but sure I seen something about not using flexible pipe as it collects moisture in the ridges in turn causing issues in the future.
Great job on fitting the vent though 👏 made it look simple
Hey Sean,
Good to hear from you, I`ll let you know on here if I experience any issues in the future.
Thanks for watching.
Yup, I was actually told by building control that the length of the ducting (which was shorter than yours) meant it had to be rigid and that it failed the inspection. The main reason was due to the face that flexi collects moisture.
@@new2propertyany issues with condensation
Fab video i tho8ght where the felt was cut it wouod need say fkashing taoe or equivalent to seal it ? I may be wrong ty
Great stuff. I currently have extraction in my bathroom out of the side wall and there is a really busy road nearby. I'm going to look into swapping to a roof vented tile on the other side of the property (further away from the road), have extraction through the ceiling, and then have the hole in the wall restored back as brick. If anyone has any pointers or tips, please let me know!
Thanks for watching Jduvel and good luck with your project, I hope this video helped.
I know you make a cut in the membrane to fit the tile but how do you stop from the membrane being compromised to carry out its job, so if there is a leak from further above will the water find its way out through the cut for the tile vent?
good explanation can you get roof vents to fit different types of roof tiles?
Hi,
Thanks for watching,
You can get different types of vents to match existing tiles yes.
👍
Don’t you have to put sealant around the felt where the vent passes through? I always thought the felt was your back up roof barrier
Thanks.. our roofer didn't pull the upper lip of the felt onto the batton. It justs hangs into the loft? I understand if water reached the felt somehow, it ll come in through the hole? Roofer doesn't agree to come and sort it and move the upper lip of the cut felt folded onto the batton. I see the home's original extractor fans felt is also hanging down slightly in the loft. Is that a common practice or a minor thing or should I be losing my sleep on it??
Hi Ahsan,
I don`t believe you have anything to worry about and its certainly not worth loosing sleep over, I suggest monitoring the area and if you see water getting in then call your roofer back to sort it.
Thanks for watching and for dropping a comment.
Any tips regarding selecting the right tile to replace. I've just been up for a bit of prep and the initial 3 selected tiles all overlap somewhat a rafter. The ducting connection is almost the size of the vent tile on the model I have picked up and seems to be an issue no matter where I want to place it. Is this common or am I a doyle
Hi Pixelheist,
Thanks very much for watching and for your comment.
I`m not sure about the tile type, I used roofing ventilation to help identify my tile type, they were great.
sales@roofingventilation.co.uk, maybe they can help you too.
I hope this helps
Hi I am fitting some plain tile vent wher on the roof do you position them some say near ridge some say above loft insulation near eaves thanks
Hi Don,
Personally I fit them where I need them, they are simply a replacement tile that serves a greater purpose. Mine are above where I have a vent duct that needs connecting to them.
Thanks for watching and for your question.
Hi great video , just wondering do you know the exact vent you used in this video as those tiles look identical to mine . Thanks
Hi Dave,
Thanks very much for watching and for dropping a comment.
I`m not sure about the tile type but I used roofing ventilation to help identify the one I went for, they were great. Here is a contact email address: sales@roofingventilation.co.uk

Hi, thank you for video. I've been had bargeboards etc replaced with upvc. Although agreed vents should be fitted, he didn't fit any. Now we haven't got any ventilation in the attic. It used to be bone dry, this year it's wet. Do you think 3 vents along the front and 3 along the back of the house will be enough? It's a small semi with a low pitch roof, with plenty of insulation. To get someone to do it what would you reasonably expect to pay? Thank you again, Steven
Hi Steven,
It sounds like you certainly need your attic ventilating, installing vent tiles isn’t a difficult or time consuming job. The cost will depend on factors such as your location and tile type etc.
I suggest getting 3/5 roofers to quote on the job and then deciding who Togo with from there.
I hope this helps.
@@new2property thank you
I had roof vent tiles installed. The condensation disappeared i around 10 days. However, i see some appearing again. Possibly slightly less than before. Is it something which will come and go? I m trying to use extractor fan after showers and keeping ventilation in the house but can be tricky in winters?? Is it something to worry about?
Hi Ahsan,
Thanks very much for watching and for dropping a comment, I would suggest you install a constant trickle fan this will help you keep the room moisture free. Have a look at the vectaire elegance fans they are great
I hope this helps
This might seem a silly question to you
Can you use this type of event as a standalone vent as an air vent Ie do not have to connect the adaptor tube
If so what happens to the rainwater thanks
Hi Ray,
There is no reason why you can’t use this as a standard vent. The rain water passes out of the bottom of the vent it doesn’t go through the main vent hole
I hope this helps.
Thanks for watching and for dropping a question
If it’s over 3M in length should be insulated, I think that run may pool with condensation and then one day drop a load of legionella water everywhere
Also need to keep tension on the ducting in straight lines…ideally suction atop straight up into the roof tile it’s essentially know as passive stack ventilation
Do you have a product code for the tile used. I have ludlow tiles on my bungalow and this tile vent looks ideal.
Hi Adam,
I`m sorry I don`t this is what the company I used said :"The closest the tile seems to be is a sandtoft standard pattern"
This is the company I used to help me identify the tile type: sales@roofingventilation.co.uk
I hope this helps
I wonder if it’s possible to do it from inside the loft if I can’t access the roof from outside
Hi thanks for watching and for dropping a question.
You will need to fit the tile from the outside.
I hope this helps
That roof needs a good pressure clean 😀😀😀
Hi, I've got the exact tiles. Can you fit them from inside your loft. Thanks.
Hi Mark,
Unfortunately you will need to be on the outside to fit these tiles.
Thanks for watching and for your comment
@@new2property ok thanyou
@@markdean8640 you are welcome
That’s a long long length of ducting. The roof vent should be a bit closer to the extractor to give proper ventilation. All the twist and turns will collect moisture I’m sure. Good job on the tile.
Hi Gary,
Thanks very much for watching and for dropping a comment
I like your videos, and I dont want to be sounding negative but i dont see how a vented tile like that is not causing problems, the rain will just fall straight through it. I saw better alternatives exist like the redland Redland 49 Roof Tile Cowl Vent or the Marley Ludlow, which actually have a cap so rain does not fall through... I am no roofer mind
Hey Riccardo,
Thanks very much for taking the time to watch the video and comment, the tile doesn't let any water through at all, its actually a very good design with run out slots/holes at the bottom that send the water down the roof.
Needs. To be maxin
1.5 m
Thanks for watching
Water doesn’t go through tile down ?
No way to far

Thought you would at least clear the roof tiles of all the fungus and crap before you worked on it ! And no gloves 🧤 🤷♂️🤦♂️
