Professional spray foam insulation removal across Glasnevin. Free inspection, written quote, no pressure tactics.
For spray foam removal in Glasnevin, 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 Glasnevin, 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.
Glasnevin is a well-established inner northside suburb adjacent to the National Botanic Gardens, with a diverse mix of older Victorian and Edwardian terraces, quality 1930s semi-detached houses, and some 1950s and 1960s estates on the outer roads. Properties in Glasnevin are predominantly Older Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached houses in the inner area, quality 1930s and 1940s solid-brick semi-detached houses, 1950s and 1960s estate development on outer roads, and some prestige period properties near the Botanic Gardens. Common roof issues we address here include natural slate wear and chimney repointing on older Victorian and Edwardian stock, lead valley failures on period rooflines, ridge tile deterioration on 1930s properties, flat roof failures on rear extensions, and fascia and soffit deterioration on 1950s and 1960s estates, spray foam insulation is an increasing issue in Glasnevin properties.
