Commercial Spray Foam Insulation in Omagh

Spray foam on Omagh commercial buildings

No two commercial roofs are the same, and the right answer is not always spray foam. Most enquiries in Northern Ireland come down to condensation and heat loss in a wet, mild climate, and the survey exists to establish what is actually causing it before anything is specified.

What we check before quoting

We start with what the roof is made of and what condition it is in — corrugated fibre-cement, profiled steel, concrete or timber each need their own preparation. Existing leaks are identified first, because spraying the underside of a roof does not make it watertight; rainwater ingress, condensation and structural defects have to be told apart before a treatment is chosen. Internal humidity and building use are recorded too, since they drive condensation as much as the roof does. On asbestos-cement sheeting, encapsulation may be an option — the material remains in place and still needs managing.

The system we specify

Most commercial work in Northern Ireland is closed-cell Nexseal LE, sprayed in situ so it bonds to the deck and holds the surface above dew point — which is what stops the drip. It is rigid, adds stiffness to thin sheeting and carries a 25-year manufacturer-backed product warranty. Open-cell Sucraseal is specified where vapour needs to move more freely and the building can accommodate it. Thickness follows the outcome you need, not a standard figure, and it is written into the specification at survey rather than decided on the day. If you want the trade-offs in full, the comparison with traditional insulation sets them out.

How the installation runs

Installations are programmed around how the building is used, so trading or production continues wherever it can. Protection goes up first, rooflights and services are masked, then the foam is applied in passes and checked against the specified thickness before anything is taken down. A typical Omagh building is a matter of days on site. Specification, product data and warranty documentation are handed over at completion.

What a job costs turns on area, specified thickness and access, which is why a figure before a survey is guesswork; the cost guide sets out the variables honestly. Send us the postcode, the roof type and rough dimensions to arrange a free survey in Omagh.
