Are you struggling to sell your home due to spray foam insulation? Contact our leading spray foam removal specialists today.

If your property's value has been impacted by spray foam insulation in the roof space, you are not alone. Around a quarter of a million homes in the UK are affected. While not all spray foam installations are problematic, many mortgage lenders hesitate to approve loans on homes with spray foam because they cannot determine which installations are safe. This has led to issues for homeowners trying to sell, re-mortgage, or access equity. Over the past few decades, improper installations have caused damage to roof structures, fire hazards, and mould problems.

At Reebick Spray Foam Removal, we specialise in safely removing problematic spray foam insulation. We use advanced dry ice blasting technology to remove the foam without damaging your roof trusses, allowing you to sell, re-mortgage, or release equity with confidence.

Top-rated Derbyshire spray foam removal: Why is spray foam an issue?

Spray foam insulation, particularly closed-cell foam, can cause a range of problems for homes. The insulation can restrict air circulation in the roof, leading to condensation and eventual rotting of the roof support timbers. This is a major reason why mortgage lenders are hesitant to approve loans on homes with spray foam, as they cannot determine if the installation was done correctly.

In some cases, especially with listed buildings, spray foam may have been applied without necessary planning permissions. Other issues include mould growth due to lack of airflow, toxic odours from certain foam types, and increased flammability.

Additionally, earlier installations sometimes involved removing the roof felt before applying the foam, which caused the roof tiles to become stuck and made future inspections and repairs difficult. These issues often come to light when homeowners attempt to sell their property only to find potential buyers who cannot secure a mortgage.

What are the types of spray foam insulation in Derbyshire?

There are two main types of spray foam.

Open-cell spray foam

Open-cell spray foam is less dense once set, making it compressible by hand and unsuitable as a structural support. While it provides insulation, it is less effective than closed-cell foam, meaning a thicker layer is needed to achieve the same level of thermal protection.

Closed-cell spray foam

Closed-cell spray foam hardens into a rigid solid, offering structural support for poor-quality properties. It provides better insulation than open-cell foam due to its gas-filled pockets, which reduce heat transfer. However, it acts as a moisture barrier, so proper ventilation is essential to prevent condensation buildup in the space.
