Spray Foam Removal in Dublin

What Is Hiding Under the Foam in Your Loft?

Plenty of Dublin lofts were sprayed with foam to add insulation cheaply or to stop tired slates rattling. Sprayed onto the underside of the roof, it covers the rafters, battens and felt underlay, so nobody can see what condition the timber is in. Where it seals over damp or stops air moving through the roof space, moisture can sit against the wood for a long time before anyone notices.

Removal is often worth it when you are selling or remortgaging, because some lenders and surveyors treat a foamed roof with caution and may ask questions about it or want a closer look at the roof. It also makes sense if you have a leak you cannot trace, a musty smell in the loft, or plans to re-roof and want to know what you are working with.

We cut and scrape the foam away by hand in sections, bagging it as we go and keeping the rest of your loft clean. Once the timber is bare we check every rafter and batten, treat or replace what has softened, and then talk you through insulation or a breathable membrane that lets air move through the roof space again.
