In this week’s podcast, we take a look at spray foam insulation and what you need to know about it as a Residential surveyor. 

This is essential listening for all RICS APC and AssocRICS candidates dealing with residential property (or mixed-use property with a residential element), particularly relating to the Building Pathology, Inspection, Loan Security Valuation and Valuation competencies. It is also vitally important knowledge if you are looking to purchase a residential property yourself!

After listening to this Podcast, we recommend reading the related RICS Consumer Guide and  Inspection Protocol, available through the PCA (for building professionals). When reading these, please ensure you read the caveats and scope of each document. 

Many thanks go to Tim Hayden-Kenny and Geoff Hunt for their advice and assistance in writing this article.
