Planning solar panels? Check for spray foam first

Panel brackets are fixed through the roof covering, so an installer wants to know what is sitting underneath it.

Where foam gets in the way

Foam stuck to slates, tiles and battens can complicate fixings, and it can cover timber that ought to be looked at first.

A sensible first step

Have the foam type and condition recorded in a survey, then hand the report to your installer so the job can be planned around it.
