Common problem

Were you told spray foam was safe, approved or risk-free?

Many homeowners only discover the impact of spray foam insulation when trying to sell, remortgage, or deal with a survey. Others face concerns about trapped moisture, timber damage, roof ventilation or costly removal.

If the risks were not explained before installation, or the product was sold as a simple home improvement without warning you about future mortgage or sale problems, your case may deserve closer review.

You may have grounds for a review if:

  • • A lender, broker or surveyor has raised spray foam concerns
  • • You are struggling to sell or remortgage
  • • You were not told it could affect lending or property value
  • • You have been quoted high removal or repair costs
  • • Damp, timber, roof or ventilation issues have appeared
  • • The installer or salesperson made misleading claims

Common spray foam issues

What can make a spray foam case worth reviewing?

  • Mortgage or remortgage problems
    Some lenders and surveyors may refuse or restrict lending where spray foam insulation is present.
  • Property value or sale issues
    Buyer concerns, survey comments and roof access restrictions can affect marketability.

Useful evidence can include:

  • ✅ Sales brochures, quotes or installer paperwork
  • ✅ Guarantees, certificates or product information

  • ✅ Removal, roof repair or remediation quotes
  • ✅ Photos of the roof space and installation

Your rights

What should have been explained before installation?

Homeowners should receive clear, accurate information about the product, installation, risks, suitability and possible long-term impact on the property.

  • Mortgage and resale risks — potential lending, survey and marketability issues should not be hidden or downplayed.
  • Ventilation and roof condition concerns — the impact on inspection, moisture and timber condition should be considered before installation.
  • Removal and remediation difficulty — homeowners should understand that removing spray foam can be expensive and disruptive.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about spray foam insulation claims

Some lenders and surveyors may view spray foam insulation as a risk because it can make roof inspection harder and raise concerns about ventilation, timber condition or future remediation.
Not always. It depends on the type of installation, the condition of the roof space, survey findings and what problem you are trying to resolve. A proper review helps clarify this.
If key risks such as mortgage difficulty, survey concerns, removal cost or property value impact were not properly explained before installation, it may be worth reviewing whether the sale process was adequate.
Useful documents can include quotes, contracts, installer paperwork, product guarantees, survey reports, lender correspondence, removal quotes and photos of the roof space.
The initial assessment is designed to be quick and straightforward, helping you decide whether to take things further.

Example situations we can review

Mortgage and remortgage concerns
