Professional spray foam insulation removal across Shankill. Free inspection, written quote, no pressure tactics.
For spray foam removal in Shankill, 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 Shankill, 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.
Shankill is a south Dublin coastal village on the border with County Wicklow, with a mix of Victorian seafront properties along the Bray Road, 1970s and 1980s estates inland, and some modern infill development. Properties in Shankill are predominantly Victorian cottages and villas near the seafront and old village, 1970s and 1980s semi-detached estates, modern townhouses along Shanganagh Road. Common roof issues we address here include salt air deterioration of mortar joints and natural slate on seafront-facing properties, concrete tile failure on inland 1970s–1980s estates, flat roofs on rear extensions, and storm damage on exposed coastal properties, spray foam insulation is an increasing issue in Shankill properties. Our roofers understand the construction methods and typical materials used in Shankill — every inspection is free and every job begins with a written quote.
