What is Spray Foam Insulation?
Roof foam insulation is technically known as spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF). It comes as a liquid foam that’s sprayed into place before expanding and hardening into an insulating layer. It’s an alternative to traditional insulation and can be sprayed onto a roof’s interior or exterior, as well as being used to insulate lofts, walls and floors.
There are two main types of roof spray foam:
- Closed Cell – this is a very good insulator but is a barrier to moisture and can reduce ventilation to the roof area.
- Open Cell – this is less dense, flexible and breathable. A thicker layer is needed to provide the same level of insulation.
Why You Should Remove Roof Spray Foam Insulation in Berkshire
Spray foam insulation is not all it’s made out to be and some of the reasons you should be looking at getting your roof spray foam removed include:
- Many surveyors will down-value a property that has this kind of insulation
- Some lenders won’t give a mortgage on a property with roof spray foam insulation applied to the roof or loft
- Closed cell spray foam can contribute towards condensation and damp, which in turn, can cause your roof timers to rot leading to expensive roof replacement costs
- Spray foam shouldn’t be used on listed properties
- It can make it more difficult to carry out roof repairs, such as replacing broken tiles or roof leaks
- It could be covering up other damage, again, leading to expensive roof repairs
- If it’s not applied well, it could risk damaging the structure of your roof
- It can be messy and hard to decorate over

Yes, it is true. Some lenders won’t give a mortgage on a property with spray foam insulation in the loft. This is due to:
- The spray foam insulation sealing the roof space and reducing the air circulation to the roof timbers. This could lead to condensation and potential rot.
- The spray foam insulation sets very hard and can add additional stresses to the roof timbers potentially causing distortions.
- But even after the removal, there may still be some lenders that refuse to offer a mortgage due to a view that the damage may already be done.
