spray foam removal

In recent years, spray foam insulation has been marketed as an energy-efficient solution for lofts and roofs. However, many homeowners are now discovering that what seemed like a smart investment has become a serious obstacle.

• Lender refusals: Many banks and mortgage providers consider spray foam insulation a red flag. It’s often seen as a risk to the roof’s structural integrity, leading to mortgage rejections or reduced valuations.
• Surveyor concerns: RICS surveyors may downgrade the value of the property or recommend a full removal before any lending or sale can proceed.

• Spray foam creates an airtight seal, which can trap moisture within the roof timbers or under the tiles.
• Over time, this leads to condensation build-up, increasing the risk of wood rot, mould, and decay—especially in roofs without proper ventilation.

• Closed-cell spray foam is rigid and adheres tightly to the roof structure.
• It can hide signs of leaks or timber damage, making inspections nearly impossible.
• The foam itself can exert pressure on timbers and cause stress or distortion over time.

•  Some insurance providers and roofing warranties do not cover homes with spray foam insulation, due to the increased risks and potential structural impact.
