Foam trapping damp against roof timbers
Why it happens here
Seaton Carew has high exposure to salt and wind, which drives moisture into roof spaces. Spray foam seals that moisture in, so timbers stay wet and start to rot. It is the most common problem we see in the village.
Our approach
We remove the foam, inspect every timber and treat any rot with wood hardener. We also improve ventilation so the roof space can breathe again. If timbers are too far gone, we will tell you and recommend a joiner.
