Across Lewes and the surrounding areas, homes have seen different types of insulation installed over the years. Traditional insulation became increasingly common during the 1970s and remained widely used, while spray foam insulation saw a notable increase between the mid-2000s and 2020, driven by market growth and government programs promoting improved energy efficiency.
Spray foam insulation was introduced as a contemporary method to boost energy efficiency and improve EPC ratings, often advertised as offering up to 50% more effectiveness than traditional fibreglass. It was also praised for its soundproofing qualities and its ability to create a durable, airtight barrier that helps keep moisture out.
Although spray foam insulation offered certain advantages, many of its potential issues were frequently missed or downplayed when fitted in homes throughout Lewes.
Spray foam insulation can trap moisture within roof spaces, causing concealed mould growth and slow timber deterioration—issues that, if left unchecked, can lead to significant structural damage over time.
During the curing process, spray foam insulation can emit harmful chemicals that may cause respiratory irritation, headaches, and other potential health concerns.
If your roof is damaged, spray foam insulation can obstruct access, making it harder for roofers, surveyors, or insurance assessors to identify and repair leaks efficiently.
One of the biggest challenges for homeowners with spray foam insulation is that many mortgage lenders now refuse applications due to potential long-term structural risks. Consequently, if your Lewes property contains spray foam insulation, selling it may be difficult until the foam is professionally removed and any related damage is properly addressed.
