UNDERSTANDING YOUR ROOF
Worried about spray foam insulation?
Spray polyurethane foam may be bonded to the underside of roof coverings and timbers. This can restrict access for inspection and complicate some repair work. The implications depend on the foam type, how it was installed and the roof's condition.
Not every installation needs removing. An appropriate assessment should come before any decision to strip insulation or undertake roof repairs.
Spray foam removal enquiries
Explore whether removal is appropriate, the access required and risks of damage to existing roof materials.
Roof repairs afterwards
Where removal reveals defects, discuss suitable roofing repairs and whether further specialist advice is needed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does all spray foam insulation need to be removed?
No. This depends on the product, installation, roof condition and reason for concern. Seek an appropriate assessment first.
Can spray foam affect a mortgage?
Some lenders and surveyors have specific requirements. Check directly with them; removal does not guarantee mortgage approval.
Can removing foam damage the roof?
Yes. Foam can adhere strongly to roofing materials and timbers. Removal methods should be assessed before work begins.
