Leakage in loft

Grenage

It's not a major issue now, but it can become a major issue when the wood rots; improve the ventilation when possible.

I would get wedges for the roofing felt put in quick-smart as they will help with airflow through the loft. You can then afford to take a little more time with getting quotes etc for fitting roof vents.

Quoted £350 + VAT for 6 roof vents. Is it reasonable?

Just have a look for yourself. Check you can see right down to the eaves past your insulation. If you can then check the overlaps in your roofing felt, you can use wedges of polystyrene (these can be bought to save cutting them) to wedge these open, increasing ventilation.

That's what a friend of mine did - not had a problem since.

Ventilation tiles

Doesn't seem excessive then. I would try fitting polystyrene wedges first, you can even make your own from one piece of 20mm polystyrene. You will save a tonne of money and it may be all you need.
