Spray foam insulation applied to the underside of roof tiles has become a widespread problem across the UK. While marketed as an energy-saving solution, spray foam bonds tiles together, prevents proper ventilation, hides defects and makes future repairs or re-roofing extremely difficult.
Many mortgage lenders and surveyors now flag spray foam as a defect. If you need it removed for a property sale, remortgage or simply to restore your roof to proper working order, we can help. We remove the foam safely, inspect the roof structure and restore proper ventilation.
We handle every aspect of spray foam removal and roof restoration.
Careful removal of spray foam from tiles, battens and rafters without damaging the roof structure. Proper containment and disposal of waste material.
Once the foam is removed, we carry out a thorough inspection of rafters, battens, tiles and underlay to identify any hidden damage or decay.
Proper loft insulation installed between and over joists at the ceiling level, where it should be. Meets current building regulations for thermal performance.
Roof ventilation restored to prevent condensation and moisture build-up. Eaves vents, ridge vents and cross-ventilation re-established as required.
Replacement of any damaged rafters, battens or timbers discovered during the foam removal process. Full structural restoration where needed.
If tiles have been damaged by the foam or the roof covering has reached the end of its life, we can carry out a full re-roof as part of the project.
Spray foam insulation creates a range of serious issues when applied to the underside of a roof:
If your property has spray foam insulation on the roof, get a free assessment to understand your options.
Spray foam bonds tiles together, blocks ventilation and hides the condition of the roof structure. Without proper ventilation, moisture builds up and can cause condensation, timber decay and mould. It also makes individual tile replacement impossible and significantly complicates any future roofing work. Many mortgage lenders now refuse to lend on properties with spray foam on the roof.
The cost depends on the size of the roof, the type and thickness of foam applied and the condition of the roof structure underneath. Removal is labour-intensive and typically costs more than the original foam installation. We provide free surveys and detailed quotations so you know the full cost before committing.
A typical domestic property takes three to five days for the foam removal itself. If additional work is needed such as timber replacement, re-battening or re-tiling, the project will take longer. We provide a clear schedule before starting.
Some tiles may be damaged during the removal process, particularly if the foam has bonded strongly or if the tiles are already aged and brittle. We take great care to minimise damage, but replacement tiles may be needed for some areas. We factor this into our quotation.
It is becoming increasingly difficult. Many mortgage lenders will not offer a mortgage on a property with spray foam on the roof, which severely limits your pool of potential buyers. Removing the foam before selling is often the most practical solution and can significantly improve your chances of a successful sale.
Spray foam applied to the underside of roof tiles (between or under the rafters) is the main concern. Spray foam applied to walls or to the underside of a flat roof deck is generally less problematic, though ventilation should still be checked. If you are unsure, we can carry out a free assessment to advise on your specific situation.
