Spray foam surveys in Northern Ireland
Spray foam surveys across Northern Ireland.
What spray foam surveys involves
Spray foam surveys examine insulation that has been sprayed into a loft, along a roof slope, into a cavity or under a floor, and set out in writing what is actually there. The specialist identifies the foam type, measures how thick and how widespread it is, and checks the timbers and roof space around it for trapped moisture.
Most bookings come from buyers whose lender has asked about foam before releasing a mortgage, sellers who need a clear record to pass on, and owners who want to know the condition of foam that has been in place for years. Book at the price shown and a specialist will attend on the date you choose.

How spray foam surveys works with us
Enquiry logged
You book the spray foam survey at the price shown and give the address, along with any lender or valuer question that needs answering.
Foam examined
The specialist inspects the sprayed areas, identifies the type of foam and records how thick and how widespread it is.
Timbers probed
Reachable rafters, battens and joists near the foam are checked for staining, softness and raised moisture readings.
Report issued
Photographs and written findings set out what is present, what condition it is in and which areas could not be reached.
Does this look like your roof?
- A mortgage lender or valuer has raised a question about foam in the roof
- Foam can be seen between rafters or sprayed across the underside of the covering
- A survey report mentions spray foam but does not say which type it is
- Timbers beside the foam look dark, or feel soft when pressed
- Condensation collects on the felt, or the loft smells musty
- Foam has pulled away from the wood or crumbles at the edges

What the findings can and cannot settle
Open cell and closed cell
The two types behave differently. Closed cell foam is denser and can hold water against the structure, while open cell is softer and more vapour permeable. The specialist records which one is present and how it was applied.
Foam, lenders and a house sale
Plenty of lenders ask for detail on spray foam before they will lend against a property. The report describes the type, coverage and condition of the foam so a buyer, seller or broker can answer those questions from a written source.
Timbers and held moisture
Foam sprayed directly onto rafters or battens can keep water against the wood. Timbers within reach are checked for staining, softness and raised moisture readings, and the findings say which ones were inspected.
Removal is a separate question
The survey records what is there and its condition. Whether foam is taken out, left alone or covered over is a decision for the owner, their lender and whichever contractor carries out any work.
