For spray foam removal in Santry, 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 Santry, 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.
Santry is a north Dublin suburb just inside the M50 ring road, with a mix of 1940s to 1960s corporation-built semi-detached houses near Santry village and large-scale 1970s and 1980s private estate developments, with good access to Dublin Airport and the M1. Properties in Santry are predominantly 1940s and 1950s semi-detached houses near the village, 1970s and 1980s private estate housing, some 1990s infill development, and commercial and industrial units along the main roads. Common roof issues we address here include natural slate deterioration on older 1940s and 1950s properties, concrete tile cracking and ridge tile repointing on 1970s and 1980s estates, flat roofs failing on rear extensions, and fascia and soffit deterioration across older housing stock, spray foam insulation is an increasing issue in Santry properties.
