Roof Damage from Spray Foam or Solar Panels – You May Be Entitled to Compensation
At WealthWise Advisors Ltd, we regularly support homeowners facing expensive roof repairs caused by spray foam insulation, solar panel installations, or their subsequent removal. In many cases, the damage is not just physical — it affects your property's value, insurability, and even your ability to sell or remortgage.
The Hidden Cost of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation, particularly closed-cell foam, was promoted as a quick, modern way to improve energy efficiency. But what many installers failed to explain is that improper application can cause significant structural problems:
- Trapped moisture leads to rotting timbers and weakened roof structures
- Condensation issues due to restricted airflow
- Chemical breakdown of spray foam over time
- Costly removal processes that often damage roof materials
- Refusal of mortgages or insurance due to the presence or prior installation of spray foam
Removal of spray foam can cause:
- Broken or cracked roof tiles
- Ripped underlay or membranes
- Loft damage from aggressive scraping or chemical use
- Further costs for full roof replacements or structural repairs
Roof Damage from Solar Panels
While solar panels can offer benefits when properly installed, many customers experience long-term problems that were never disclosed by salespeople or installers, including:
- Damaged or poorly fitted roof tiles during installation
- Leaks and water ingress
- Increased load on weakened roof structures
- Rusting brackets or poor anchoring
- Improper weatherproofing, leading to internal ceiling or loft damage
- Lack of maintenance advice, warranties, or follow-up support
In some cases, solar panels were fitted to roofs that were already in poor condition, without the homeowner being made aware of the long-term risks.

If you’ve experienced any of the following, you may have a valid claim:
