I'm selling my home - how do I know my surveyor knows about spray foam?
Together with the professional bodies in our industry, we have developed an Inspection Protocol to educate surveyors on assessing a home with spray foam insulation.
Through a five-stage framework, the Inspection Protocol supports professionals to confidently assess pitched roof elements and determine an overall recommendation for the suitability of spray foam insulation as well as a methodology for surveyors to ensure proper installation of spray foam. This includes undertaking and recording observations of the roof structure, the spray foam insulation which is present and the loft space.

How do I know my surveyor is using the Inspection Protocol?
You can download the protocol here which can be passed onto your surveyor if they don't already have it. Part of the protocol also includes a homeowner pack, which we have always supplied to homeowners when HBS spray foam insulation is installed. This documents key evaluation measures prior to installation, including the condition of the roof and a hygrothermal evaluation, alongside details of the material installed and of the installer.
