Professional spray foam insulation removal across Bray. Free inspection, written quote, no pressure tactics.
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 Bray, 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.
Bray is the largest town in County Wicklow and a major Dublin commuter hub, with a wide mix of Victorian seafront properties, 1960s to 1980s estates and modern developments. Properties in Bray are predominantly Victorian terraces and villas near the seafront, 1960s and 1970s semi-detached estates and modern residential developments inland. Common roof issues we address here include coastal salt air deterioration of natural slate and mortar on Victorian seafront properties, storm damage on exposed seafront-facing roofs, concrete tile deterioration on 1970s estates, and chimney repointing on older village properties, spray foam insulation is an increasing issue in Bray properties. Our roofers understand the construction methods and typical materials used in Bray — every inspection is free and every job begins with a written quote.
