Chatered Surveyor/Expert Witness experienced in foam insulation scams.
I am a Chartered Surveyor and Police registered Expert Witness with 40 years experience in the property profession. Under no circumstances should this type of product by this type of company, be installed in a domestic dwelling without a full and thorough professional assessment of the properties suitability beforehand ,by an independent professional (not the installing company's salesman -often referred to as a "surveyor"-which they are not )
I have on many occasions(for police and trading standards officers investigating these companies in the UK),found many houses that have had this product introduced for many thousands of £'s ,incorrectly and inappropriately ,where elderly and vulnerable home owners have been targeted by cold-calling sellers form call centres espousing the "benefits" of the product. It is a complete scam.
Many of these companies have been successfully subject to prosecution and their directors sentenced to jail.
This product is unsuitable for the majority of houses in the UK. Based on calculations I have completed ,it has a pay back period in excess of 45 years.
Conversely ,once introduced it is highly damaging to a property and at (considerable expense),will have to be removed ,often resulting in damage to the roof and underfelt ,which then also has to be replaced. It will render a house unsaleable/non mortgeagble if installed.
It is in my experience a scam, the majority of the time, by rogue traders/operators in this sphere of "home improvement" . If you are targeted- Please contact citizens advice immediately, who should then put you in touch with your local trading standards officer who will be able to assist you.
My advice is to avoid this modification to your property at all costs-it is for the large part a scam, by unscrupoulous and uncertified companies that offer warranties that are not worth the paper they are written on.
