What to Do If a Surveyor Flags Spray Foam in Your Loft

If a property survey has flagged spray foam insulation in your loft, do not panic. Learn what to check and how EvoHome can support UK homeowners. A surveyor flagging spray foam can feel alarming, but it does not automatically mean a problem. It usually means the surveyor wants more information. ## Why surveyors flag spray foam Spray foam – especially on the underside of the roof – can prevent visual inspection of roof timbers.

Without sight of the timbers, the surveyor cannot fully report on roof condition. ## What the survey comments may mean Most flagged comments fall into one of three buckets: cannot inspect, ventilation concerns, or unknown installation quality. EvoHome can help interpret the wording. ## Questions to ask before considering removal - What evidence would satisfy the surveyor or lender?

- Is a specialist report acceptable? - What does the buyer''s lender require? ## Photos, documents and inspection evidence Send EvoHome the loft photos, installer paperwork and the survey comments. Where helpful, an independent assessment can be arranged. ## When removal or remedial works may be needed If evidence cannot satisfy the lender, or if there are signs of damp, poor installation or roof issues, removal or remedial work may be appropriate.
