Bought a house with spray foam? What to do first

Finding spray foam under your roof can be a shock, especially if it appears in a survey report.

First, do not touch it

Pulling or cutting it away without knowing what is beneath can damage tiles and timbers. Get it inspected before deciding anything.

Then get facts

A written assessment tells you the type of foam, how much there is and the condition of visible timbers. That is what solicitors, lenders and contractors will ask for.

Quick answers

Can I claim against the installer?
That is a legal question for your solicitor. An inspection report is useful evidence.
