Spray Foam Surveys & Reports in Leamington Spa

Not every home with spray foam needs it removed. The sensible first step is an independent survey that tells you exactly what you are dealing with and what your lender is likely to require.

What the survey covers

• The type of foam — open or closed-cell
• How and where it was applied
• Whether the roof timbers are accessible and sound
• Signs of trapped moisture or existing damage
• A clear recommendation: remove, or document and retain
• A written report for a lender, buyer or surveyor

Why an independent report matters

Mortgage and survey problems are, at heart, information problems. The lender cannot see the timbers, so it assumes risk. A credible report from someone who has inspected the roof replaces that assumption with evidence. Sometimes the evidence supports leaving the foam; sometimes it confirms removal. Either way, you are no longer stuck.

Honest advice, not automatic removal

Be cautious of anyone who tells you, unseen, that the foam must come out. A proper survey sometimes concludes a correctly installed, open-cell system with sound timbers can stay. The report gives you and your lender the facts, whichever way they point.

What happens next

If the report recommends removal, the same contractor can quote for loft or roof removal and carry out the work. If not, you have a document to give your lender and can move on.
