At Smart Roofcare Ltd, we are a trusted company specialising in the removal and extraction of spray foam insulation, alongside comprehensive roof services including installations, repairs, and ongoing maintenance.
Many properties across Hastings and nearby areas have had various forms of insulation installed over the years. General insulation became more common in the 1970s and steadily gained popularity over time. Spray foam insulation, in particular, saw significant growth between the mid-2000s and 2020, driven by wider market adoption and incentives encouraging homeowners to improve energy efficiency.
Spray foam insulation was promoted as a groundbreaking way to boost energy efficiency and improve EPC ratings, claimed to offer up to 50% better insulation than fibreglass, reduce noise, and create an effective air and moisture barrier.
While some of these claims were accurate, numerous problems with spray foam insulation were overlooked or not considered when it was installed in properties across Hastings.
Spray foam insulation has been shown to trap moisture and water, allowing mold and rot to develop unnoticed for decades, which can lead to serious structural damage to your roof.
As spray foam insulation cures, it can release toxic chemicals that may lead to respiratory problems, headaches, and other health concerns.
If your roof becomes damaged, it can be extremely difficult for roofers, insurance assessors, and repair specialists to access the leaks for inspection and repair.
A major issue with properties that have spray foam insulation is that many mortgage lenders now refuse to offer mortgages on them due to the long-term structural risks associated with the foam. This means that if your property in Hastings has spray foam insulation, selling it could be difficult until the insulation is professionally removed and any resulting damage is repaired.
