CoverageCovered from HOLVEM's Bedford depot, one of four depots (Weybridge, Bedford, Manchester, Exeter) that give HOLVEM nationwide coverage.

01Start with your building

Pick the building, or the surface the foam goes onto.

Troon's industrial units and Meridian's business premises offer different settings for work and storage. The useful starting point is the occupied space beneath your own roof.

03Why Leicester buildings need it

An established, occupied industrial setting

Leicester’s industrial units accommodate working processes as well as the stock and equipment around them. Insulating a process enclosure raises different questions from treating the roof over the wider operation. Read industrial unit and factory insulation.

    Leicester City Council's 2020 assessment recorded about 120 units south of Troon Way and 137 east of Barkbythorpe Road, with both areas at 99% occupancy.

    Published Troon Park plans also describe a four-acre scheme with unit sizes from 2000 to 60,000 sq ft. The variety makes the individual premises more useful than an estate-wide assumption.

04How a job runs

Photographs or a survey, a specification, then the application.

The same three stages on every HOLVEM job, in Leicester or anywhere else. You bring the building and what is bothering you about it; we bring the rest, in this order.

STAGE 01Capture the underside

Photographs should show the sheets, existing insulation and the activity below. The survey or photographs guide explains where to begin.

STAGE 02Develop the specification

Moisture and construction checks come before the insulation choice. Any required U-value is calculated for the full build-up.

STAGE 03Consider the available zones

Roof and soffit application takes place from beneath, with the access and working sequence agreed for the site being treated.

05Straight answers

The questions Leicester building owners ask first.

Answered the way the specialist answers them on the call. A question we have not covered? Ask it when we speak. No obligation.

Do you carry out commercial spray foam insulation in Leicester?
Leicester is covered from HOLVEM's Bedford depot. Tell us the unit's use, the roof construction if known and the concern that has prompted the enquiry. Begin with Start a project brief.
What nearby factory work can I read about?
Nuneaton Signs is a documented 2924 m² project with a 25 mm closed-cell layer applied from below. The roof was encapsulated at weekends while production remained untouched. See the Nuneaton Signs case.
Can the work fit around an occupied Leicester industrial unit?
A workable sequence depends on the areas you can release, the access beneath the roof and the activities beside the treatment area. Nuneaton's weekend sequence is one example to discuss, not a programme to assume. Describe your constraints in Start a project brief.
What should a Troon Industrial Estate occupier tell you?
Explain the space beneath the roof and which machinery, stock or routes need to remain available. The council's 2020 occupancy figures cannot establish the access conditions in your unit. The planning discussion needs your current arrangements; read how a job runs.
How quickly will you respond to an enquiry from Leicester?
Enquiries received before 3pm on a working day are contacted the same day; after 3pm, the next working day. Use Send photographs to show the roof and the working area beneath it.
Where can I find prices for commercial insulation in Leicester?
Consult what commercial spray foam costs per m². For a project quotation, describe the existing layers and the treatment area as well as access; the nearby factory's depth is not a default for your roof.
Should warranty requirements be agreed with the building owner?
25 year HOLVEM workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer’s 25 year product warranty issued directly to you. If the unit is leased, ask what warranty information the owner needs for the proposed alteration. Bring those requirements into the specification discussion before commissioning the work. Include them in Start a project brief.
