Spray Foam Insulation Specialists Bolton
Established in 1985, Modern Plan Insulation (MPI) has built a reputation as a leader in spray and injected polyurethane foam insulation solutions. Our ISO 9001-certified quality management system ensures precision across commercial and domestic projects, delivering thermal efficiency, structural integrity, and condensation control. As approved installers for BASF Walltite and Enertite systems, we combine technical expertise with BBA-certified methodologies to address diverse insulation challenges. Our team's 35+ years of experience in cavity wall insulation, marine buoyancy, and protective coatings positions us as specialists in hard-to-treat properties and industrial applications. We maintain BUFCA membership since 1986 and Constructionline accreditation, demonstrating our commitment to industry standards.By eliminating cold bridges and enhancing airtightness, our seamless foam applications reduce energy consumption while meeting Class 0/1 fire ratings. From camper vans to anaerobic digesters, our tailored solutions balance environmental responsibility with performance. Our technical consultants provide U-value calculations and compliance documentation, ensuring projects meet building regulations. With guaranteed work backed by major suppliers, we serve local authorities, housing associations, and private clients nationwide. Our polyurea coating systems offer corrosion protection and waterproofing for critical infrastructure. Through continuous innovation, we maintain our position as one of the UK's most experienced foam insulation contractors.

Spray Foam Insulation
Our spray foam systems create seamless thermal barriers that eliminate air leakage in commercial and domestic properties. Closed-cell foam provides waterproof insulation with Class 0 fire ratings, while open-cell options offer cost-effective airtightness. Both solutions reduce energy consumption by sealing gaps in roofs, walls, and floors.
Cavity Wall Insulation
Closed-cell polyurethane foam injected into cavity walls improves U-values by over 60% while stabilising structures. BBA-approved systems resist flooding and treat hard-to-reach cavities in stone or narrow walls. The adhesive foam enhances structural integrity with 60KN/m bond strength, meeting building control standards.
Condensation Control
Closed-cell foam applications prevent condensation in high-humidity environments like swimming pools and metal buildings. Our computer-aided calculations determine optimal insulation thickness to maintain surfaces above dew points. The monolithic barrier eliminates cold bridges, with vapour retardant coatings providing additional protection in sensitive spaces.
Protective Coatings
High-performance polyurea and hybrid coatings offer waterproofing and corrosion resistance for roofs, bunds, and industrial equipment. These 100% solids coatings cure rapidly to 3mm thickness, providing abrasion resistance and chemical protection. Approved systems include BASF Elastcoat and Isothane Armourchem for demanding environments.
Marine Buoyancy
Closed-cell foam solutions for marine applications prevent condensation and provide structural buoyancy in boats and lock gates. Lloyds Register-approved systems insulate steel hulls against corrosion while meeting SOLAS 1974 standards. Injected foam stabilises structures and improves energy efficiency in maritime environments.
Questions
What insulation solutions do you offer for listed buildings?
Our injected foam systems treat hard-to-treat properties with irregular cavities while preserving structural integrity. The minimal-invasive process maintains original building character.
Can you insulate steel-framed commercial buildings?
Yes, our closed-cell foam creates seamless thermal barriers on metal structures, eliminating condensation in warehouses and industrial facilities.
Do your systems meet fire safety regulations?
Our closed-cell foam achieves Class 1 fire ratings to BS476 Part 7, with Class 0 options available using intumescent coatings.
How do you handle large-scale projects?
We've completed major contracts for local authorities and housing associations, providing guaranteed work with full technical support and compliance documentation.
What environmental benefits do your systems provide?
Our water-blown open-cell foam has zero VOCs, while closed-cell systems reduce energy consumption by creating airtight thermal envelopes that lower carbon footprints.
