For spray foam removal in Artane, Peak Roofing provides expert, fully insured service. Spray foam roof insulation was widely applied in Irish homes from the 1980s through to the 2000s, marketed as an energy-saving measure for the attic space. Peak Roofing and Building carries out professional spray foam removal across Artane, covering both open-cell and closed-cell foam systems. Two types were commonly used: open-cell foam, which is soft and slightly permeable, and closed-cell foam, which sets hard and is completely impermeable to water vapour. Closed-cell foam in particular is the more serious problem — it creates a sealed vapour barrier across the underside of the roof structure, trapping moisture inside the roof void. Over time, that trapped moisture condenses and causes rot in the roof timbers beneath. The critical issue is that the foam physically encases the rafters, making it impossible for surveyors or structural engineers to see the condition of the timber underneath — which is precisely why so many lenders in Ireland and the UK will now decline to mortgage or remortgage a property until the foam has been professionally removed and the underlying timber structure assessed and certified.
Artane is a large northside Dublin suburb between Raheny and Coolock, built predominantly in the 1940s and 1950s with large-scale semi-detached housing, close to the Artane Castle shopping area and Donnycarney. Properties in Artane are predominantly 1940s and 1950s semi-detached houses on wide residential roads, 1960s infill estate developments, and some 1970s townhouse and semi-detached developments near the outer roads. Common roof issues we address here include natural slate deterioration on 1940s and 1950s properties, chimney repointing, fascia and soffit replacement on 1960s and 1970s stock, felt underlay at or beyond end of lifespan, and flat roof failures on garage and extension roofs, spray foam insulation is an increasing issue in Artane properties. Our roofers understand the construction methods and typical materials used in Artane — every inspection is free and every job begins with a written quote.
