Professional spray foam insulation removal across Navan. 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 Navan, 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.
Navan is the county town of Meath on the River Boyne, a large and growing town with a historic centre, significant commercial activity, and a wide range of housing stock from older town-centre properties to large modern new-build estates on the outskirts. Properties in Navan are predominantly Older Victorian and Georgian town-centre properties, 1970s and 1980s semi-detached estate houses, 1990s and 2000s new-build semi-detached and detached developments, and modern apartment schemes near the town centre. Common roof issues we address here include concrete tile deterioration on 1970s and 1980s estate properties, new build valley and ridge tile failures on 2000s developments, flat roof failures on rear extensions, chimney repointing on older town-centre properties, and storm damage from exposed Meath weather, spray foam insulation is an increasing issue in Navan properties.
