Spray foam roof assessment
Understand what spray foam means for your roof
Spray foam can affect roof ventilation and make roof timbers harder to inspect. A home assessment can help you understand the roof condition, documentation and your options.

Why an assessment matters
Not every home needs the same work. Roof condition, foam type, ventilation, installation records and a lender's own policy can all affect the next step.
Written findings
Carter Langfold assesses the property and explains the proposed work before you decide. Removal is not presented as necessary until the property has been assessed.
Policy summary supplied by Carter Langfold. Lender criteria can change and applications are assessed individually. Confirm current requirements directly with your lender, broker or surveyor.
Mrs Lane owned a three-bedroom semi-detached home. After spray foam had not been removed, she ultimately paid £25,000 for a new roof. In her case, that was more than four times the removal cost. Her name has been changed for privacy. This is one case, not a typical-cost promise.
