foam called "lapolla" onto the underside my roof. I declined.
Anyone have any expreience or expert knowledge of this process?

Not that long ago, a building society would refuse a mortgage on a
property with that foam insulation. Because roof timbers need to be
ventilated, or will rot quickly. And I very much doubt anything has
changed since then. Cowboys never really go away. Just wait for memories
to fade.

You have a bargepole?

A lot of people would not suggest it is a good move to spray anything on
there. I'd never do it because a cold caller suggested it, they probably
have a shed load of the stuff from bankrupt stock and are trying to turn a
fast buck.

Mother in law inflicted this stuff on her bungalow. Anything to devalue
her children's inheritance.

Don't. It makes any subsequent repairt to the roof, to replace a broken
tile say, a bodge. The previous owners of this house thought it was a
good idea, it was not.

Run away, don't walk.

As well as what's already mentioned, it's very very expensive to remove -
you essentially need a new roof.

Plus the chemicals are mixed on site, and if they do the mixing wrong you
can end up with toxic offgassing. Did I mention that faulty foam is
near impossible to remove?

has lots on bad foam - it's a big problem in the US where it's more popular.

If you want to install foam, install foam panels like Celotex - easy to
remove, and made in a factory where you know it's been done right.

Many thanks to everyone who confirmed my suspicions; I will not be
taking up the offer.
