Roof Damage

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.

Were You Misled or Left with Damage?

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