Success Stories From Across The UK
Every property is unique, but the problems caused by spray foam are remarkably consistent. Here are some real examples of how we've helped homeowners overcome mortgage rejections, insurance issues, and structural concerns.
Case Study 1: Victorian Terrace House - Manchester
The Challenge
A period Victorian terrace house in Manchester had closed-cell spray foam installed in the roof space in 2018. When the owners tried to sell in 2023, three separate mortgage surveys flagged the foam as a "significant risk," citing:
- Inability to inspect roof timbers for defects
- Potential moisture trapping concerns
- Lack of ventilation in traditional construction
- Insurance implications
Our Solution
We conducted a comprehensive 5-day removal project:
- Day 1-2: Full site setup, safety systems, and careful foam removal
- Day 3: Timber inspection revealed minor issues easily rectified
- Day 4: Installation of traditional breathable insulation
- Day 5: Final inspection and certification
The Outcome
✅ Property sold within 6 weeks of completion
