Professional spray foam insulation removal across Firhouse. Free inspection, written quote, no pressure tactics.
Firhouse homeowners trust Peak Roofing for spray foam removal. 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 Firhouse, 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.
Firhouse is a south-west Dublin suburb built predominantly in the 1970s and 1980s along the Dodder valley near the M50, with well-established residential estates and good access to Tallaght and Rathfarnham. Properties in Firhouse are predominantly 1970s and 1980s semi-detached estate houses, some detached homes on larger plots along Firhouse Road, and newer townhouse developments from the 1990s. Common roof issues we address here include concrete tile deterioration on ageing 1970s and 1980s estate properties, flat roofs failing on garage and rear extensions, felt underlay reaching the end of its lifespan, and fascia and soffit deterioration across older estates, spray foam insulation is an increasing issue in Firhouse properties.
