Over the years, homes in Heathfield and the surrounding areas have been fitted with various types of insulation. Traditional materials became popular in the 1970s and remained common, while spray foam insulation grew rapidly from the mid-2000s to 2020, driven by market demand and government schemes promoting energy efficiency.
Spray foam insulation was introduced as a contemporary solution to boost energy efficiency and improve EPC ratings. Marketed as potentially up to 50% more effective than traditional fibreglass, it is also appreciated for its soundproofing properties and its ability to create a durable, airtight seal that helps protect against moisture ingress.
Although spray foam insulation offered some advantages, its possible downsides were frequently overlooked or underestimated when fitted in homes throughout Heathfield.
Spray foam insulation has the potential to lock moisture inside roof spaces, causing hidden mould and slow timber deterioration—issues that, if left untreated, may lead to significant structural damage over time.
During the curing process, spray foam insulation can emit chemicals that may cause respiratory irritation, headaches, and other health concerns.
When a roof is damaged, spray foam insulation can block access, making it harder for roofers, surveyors, or insurance assessors to identify and repair leaks efficiently.
One key concern for homeowners with spray foam insulation is that many mortgage lenders now decline applications because of potential long-term structural risks. Consequently, if your Heathfield property has spray foam insulation, selling it may be challenging until the foam is professionally removed and any related damage is properly repaired.
