Spray foam

Spray foam causing problems with your roof?

When spray foam has been wrongly specified or installed, it can cause serious problems. What starts small can become expensive if it isn't found and dealt with properly.

01

Damp & mould

If moisture becomes trapped or ventilation is restricted, the roof space can become damp. Over time that can lead to mould, condensation and decaying roof timbers.

02

Hidden roof damage

Foam makes it hard to inspect the roof and its timbers. Moisture damage and timber decay can be hidden beneath it until it becomes a significant expense.

03

Selling & mortgages

Buyers, surveyors and lenders may want to know more before going ahead. That can mean delays, extra surveys and remedial work.

Heat rises, and an under-insulated roof is one of the easiest places for it to escape. The right insulation, fitted properly, can make a real difference.

  • Lower energy billsLess heat loss may mean you need less energy to stay comfortable.
  • Comfort all yearHelps even out temperature swings and cold spots.
  • Condensation controlWith proper ventilation and installation, a good system helps manage condensation risk.
  • Choice for any budgetFrom cost-conscious options to specialist multifoil systems.
  • Better use of spaceSome systems suit lofts where space or roof height is limited.
  • No spray foam neededModern alternatives that improve thermal performance.
  • More efficient homeCutting unnecessary heat loss lowers your home's energy use.

Before you choose anyone

Been cold-called about spray foam?

Take your time. Get the reasons in writing. If you're unsure, ask an independent RICS-registered surveyor, or call the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0808 223 1133.

FAQs

Common questions

Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most.

Ask us
Is spray foam insulation banned in the UK?

No. Spray foam isn't banned. But many surveyors and lenders are cautious about it, especially when it's sprayed directly onto the underside of the roof, because it can hide the condition of the timbers. Whether it needs removing depends on your roof.

Can spray foam cause damp or rot roof timbers?

It can. If moisture gets trapped or ventilation is restricted, the roof space can become damp, leading to condensation, mould and decay. Not every installation has problems, which is why we explain what we actually find rather than assuming the worst.

Do I have to replace it with more spray foam?

No. Once foam is removed and the roof has been checked, we can talk you through alternatives such as Thermafleece EcoRoll, TLX, SuperFOIL or a budget-conscious option, depending on what suits your roof.

Will removal mean my mortgage is approved?

Nobody can honestly promise how a lender, surveyor or buyer will respond. We carry out removal carefully and explain what documents and photos we can provide, so you have a clear record of the work. Always check with your lender or broker.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of the roof, the type of foam (open-cell or closed-cell), access, and the replacement insulation you choose. Rather than quote a figure that may not fit your home, we look at your roof and explain the options and costs clearly.

I don't have spray foam. Can you still help?

Yes. We fit suitable loft insulation as a standalone improvement. See the insulation options.
