What Is Spray Polyurethane Foam

Spray polyurethane foam is an insulation material applied directly to the underside of roof coverings. It is commonly used to either improve thermal performance and energy efficiency or as a way of binding the roof together and prolonging the life span of the roof.

There are two types of spray foam insulation, Open Cell and Closed Cell, however, concerns can arise for both types regarding:

  • Decay to roof timbers 
  • Moisture retention
  • Visibility of roof timbers
  • Roof ventilation 
  • Future roof maintenance 
  • Property sales and mortgage lending requirements 

An independent survey helps identify the condition of the installation and any associated issues visible at the time of inspection and whether the insulation needs to be removed to save you from any unnecessary costs.

What our valued customers say...

Respectful Team Treated Our Home Like Their Own

From initial contact, surveyor visit and 3 days on site undertaking the work we found RTC to be very professional in all aspects. The lads who undertook the work communicated well throughout the job and more importantly treated the property with respect, as if it was their own home. Would recommend RTC without hesitation or reservation.

Verified
Transparent Pricing & Top-Notch Workmanship

From initial contact with the office, to the visit from the surveyor, the surveyors report which was very thorough as he actually went under the floors, the price for the work and the quality of the job itself was excellent. The surveyor Sam did an excellent job as was the repairs done by Dan and Karl. After the work was completed, I was contacted by the office to check that I was satisfied with work and the quality of the job, which I was. Professional all the way through with good customer service, made to feel I was important to their business. It’s an old adage but big enough to cope and small enough to care fits the bill. Would use again and would have no reservation about recommending them.

Professional from Damp Report to Final Plaster

Delighted with the service. RTC installed a damp proof course and replastering at my house. The damp survey was professional, detailed and very clear on the work to be done with good accompanying explanations of the issues. The office is easy to contact, answering all my calls and returning them promptly if the person I needed to speak to wasn’t immediately available. The technicians who performed the work were professional and worked fast and hard. They explained clearly all the steps and left the house clean every day. I am really please with the final finish and overall result. They were not the cheapest quote or survey I had, but at all steps were the most professional. Highly recommended.

Protected Home, Perfect Finish—Excellent Result

Originally recommended by my surveyor after discovering damp in 5 rooms. All the RTC staff were friendly and did a great job in minimising the dust and mess with protected sheeting and flooring throughout the house. The final result is excellent and a big call out to Steve for helping with moving a very heavy radiator and giving me tips on cauking. Highly recommend if you want a fairly priced job by hghly skilled employees and not subcontractors.
