I am thinking about getting the pitched slate roof of my garages sprayed with the Polyurethane spray foam stuff to get it insulated properly, as it aint warm and I dont fancy any bits of tiles dropping onto my kitcar!!
has anyone on here had there roof's done, any pros and cons? any firms they can reccommend in the west Mids area, and what sort of price would it be??
Cheers,
Greg

could you not use kingspan insulation between the rafters? its high density with good insulation values, and you cut it with a saw and could therefore do it yourself.

You could give my mate John a ring.

He's local to me, but has been in the trade for years. He might travel.

There have been reports (Watchdog IIRC) suggesting that sprayed on foam can sometimes push tiles out of place and damage the roof. The foam then makes repair very difficult.

Second that. PITA to replace tiles or work on the roof after.

Probably the best insulation there is though - no gaps whatsoever! Also as it's closed cell I think it's very unlikely to encourage timber rot like other insulations can sometimes.

Great stuff.

Though it can shuffle the tiles/slates a touch, it is also waterproof and glues them on! Wouldn't like to then have to replace one but you shouldn't have to.

You can get diy kits, will post info if I can find it.

loads on google but here's the one I was looking at for my house roof:
