LOFT INSULATION SUPERFOIL

Many housing providers are now facing issues linked to loft spray foam insulation installed under previous energy efficiency and retrofit schemes. Spray foam can restrict roof inspections, delay planned works, create condensation concerns, and make it difficult for surveyors and asset teams to properly assess roof structures causing roof inspection issues.

We work with:

  • Housing Associations

  • Landlords

  • Local Authorities & Councils

  • ALMOs

  • Stock Transfer Landlords

  • Retrofit & Decarbonisation Teams

  • Planned Works & Asset Management Teams
