SPRAY FOAM INSULATION ISSUES

Situation: Issues with Spray Foam Insulation?

If spray foam insulation has been installed in your loft and you're now facing problems, you may have options available — especially if you were not fully informed at the time of installation.

Common issues include difficulty selling or remortgaging your property, reduced property value, poor installation, trapped moisture, timber damage, or expensive removal requirements. In many cases, homeowners were not made aware of these risks before installation.

Quaerens supports homeowners across the UK dealing with spray foam insulation problems. We help you understand your situation, explore your options, and take steps to recover costs or resolve the issue — often with no upfront cost.

What Are Spray Foam Insulation Issues?

Spray foam insulation issues occur when insulation installed in your loft or roof space causes problems such as mortgage refusal, property devaluation, or structural concerns — often due to poor installation or lack of proper advice at the time.

• ✅ Mortgage or remortgaging problems – Many lenders will not approve mortgages on properties with spray foam insulation, making it difficult to sell or refinance your home.
• ✅ Property value reduction – Spray foam insulation can reduce the market value of your property, especially if surveyors flag it as a risk.
• ✅ Trapped moisture and timber damage – Poor installation can block ventilation, leading to damp, condensation, and potential structural damage to roof timbers.
• ✅ Expensive removal costs – Removing spray foam insulation can be complex and costly, often requiring specialist work and roof repairs.
• ✅ Lack of proper advice at installation – Many homeowners were not informed about the risks, including mortgage issues, long-term damage, or removal difficulties.
• ✅ Poor installation or unsuitable materials – Incorrect application can cause long-term issues, especially if the wrong type of foam was used.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, Quaerens can help you understand your situation, explore your options, and take steps to recover costs or resolve the problem — often with no upfront cost.

Your Rights with Spray Foam Insulation

Across the UK, homeowners have rights when insulation products are mis-sold, improperly installed, or cause unexpected issues. These protections ensure you are not left financially disadvantaged due to poor advice or workmanship.

• Receive accurate information before installation – Installers must clearly explain risks, including potential mortgage issues, ventilation problems, and long-term effects on your property.
• Expect proper installation and workmanship – Insulation must be installed correctly, allowing for ventilation and structural safety.
• Seek remedies if problems arise – If spray foam insulation has caused financial loss, damage, or property issues, you may be able to recover costs or seek resolution.

In the UK, these rights are supported by consumer protection laws, including:

• Consumer Rights Act 2015 – Ensures services must be carried out with reasonable care and skill. Poor installation or incorrect advice can be challenged under this law.
• Misrepresentation Act 1967 – If you were misled about the benefits or risks of spray foam insulation, you may be entitled to recover your losses.

If your property has been affected by spray foam insulation, Quaerens can help you assess your situation and take the next steps — often with no upfront cost.
