Removal of foam insulation

the foam would need to be removed of the timbers to allow them to breathe , you will lose all the roof tiles as they will be covered in foam it will be a be a lot of extra work & mess removing the foam, just done one as mortgage company would not give a mortgage on it with the foam in the roof it took three men 7 days and three skips just to remove the foam it breaks up into small pieces & blows everywhere good luck Alex

Hi there. We have actually come across several roofs, over the years, which match your description. To give you a simple answer: The removal of the existing tiles takes a little longer, as the said foam usually bonds the tiles together and makes it a little bit more difficult in the removal process. This should not effect price. Just make sure you hire a competent roofing company who will carry our a full internal survey before giving you a quote. I hope you found this advice helpful. Best of luck. Adrian.

It would be the same process as stripping a roof without foam, although messy and tedious therefore would take a little longer. It would be a case of removing all foam and cleaning rafters and replacing with insulation to British standards above the ceiling joists. Hope this helps. A Braden Roofing.

The foam will need to be removed to allow air-flow through the new ‘breather membrane’ I would also suggest using Celotex Insulation between the rafters, but again, an air-flow is also required when fitting. E.G If the rafter depth is 100mm use 50mm Celotex leaving the gap at the top of the rafter.
