Spray foam insulation was once promoted as an effective way to improve energy efficiency, but many UK homeowners are now facing serious issues as a result. When applied directly to the underside of a roof, spray foam expands and hardens over rafters and felt, blocking access for proper inspection. This means surveyors and roofing professionals cannot assess the condition of the roof, often raising concerns during valuations.
Another major problem is trapped moisture. Spray foam can restrict natural airflow within the roof space, leading to condensation build-up. Over time, this can cause damp, mould growth, and even timber rot, potentially compromising the structural integrity of the roof.
In addition, spray foam insulation has become a key reason for mortgage refusals. Many lenders are unwilling to approve properties where the roof cannot be properly inspected or where hidden damage may exist. This can significantly reduce your property’s marketability.
As a result, spray foam is now a common cause of property sales falling through, with buyers pulling out or renegotiating after survey results.
