Spray Foam Insulation, Chrysanthemums, Sleep Apps You and Yours You & Yours investigates why spray foam insulation could make it difficult for you to get a mortgage. A number of lenders will not consider properties that have spray foam insulation in
Interesting. Spray foam bit starts at 27:30
Seeing it heavily advertised again, I did wonder if they'd got round the condensation problem which can cause rot in some timbers. Apparently not.
It requires a registration!
The top one worked for me:
Thank you.
Assuming you have a smart TV with catchup, use that.
Doesn't negate the need for registration.
Generally the advice when insulating with Celotex is to leave some of the timber exposed, so moisture can escape. Do they not do that with spray foam?
I've heard some US horror stories, but they were where the foam hadn't been properly mixed and toxic gases built up. And of course the nightmare of removing it afterwards.
(I don't even like foaming in Celotex for that reason)

Which was the one making people ill with the gas released over time. Be a bit hard to do it with this house it has not got cavity walls and the loft is old school thick sheets placed over the joists. However like many houses of this type there are questions about the roof as you can see out between the tiles, but in all the years I've been here man and boy, only one snow storm with the wrong kind of powdered snow caused an issue.

I'd assume you already had. Not much point in buying a smart TV otherwise?
They can't. It is just sprayed directly onto the underside of the slates and all over the timber.
A neighbour's house has this - it was sold not so much as insulation but as a cheap alternative to replacing an old slate roof. Glue the slates on from the inside with foam.
Surely that's going to be moisture problems squared, if the slates aren't watertight?
Theo
Quite. Why it was known to be a cheap bodge years ago. So did wonder what had changed these days.
