Why Remove Spray Foam Insulation From Your Roof Loft?
Spray foam insulation was popular amongst homeowners but it has since been found that it can cause moisture to be trapped inside the rafters and potentially cause them to rot. This is a major risk to lenders who refuse to provide mortgages or equity to homes with spray foam insulation in the loft roof. People are now getting foam insulation removed so that they have a better chance of selling their home.

Spray Foam Insulation Removal Case Study
The Point Roofing & Guttering team carried out a complex spray foam insulation removal project at a property in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. The spray foam had stuck to the slates causing damage and leaks so the full roof needed to be stripped and replaced with new slates.
The slates were removed as well as the spray foam, the rafters where then brushed down so the timber can breath. It was a particularly messy and tricky job but the our team has the expertise and experience to get the job done right.
New felt and batten was installed on the roof as well as new Spanish slates and ridge tiles. In addition to this our roofing team stripped 2 flat roofs and installed new OSB boards and GRP waterproof top coating. To read more about this case study click the link below.
