A couple in Shropshire say they have saved a badly deteriorated house after it was reportedly filled with foam to help prevent it from collapsing. According to the report, Stuart Thorner explains that he raised the prospect of tackling the property, and his wife Katie reacted with strong alarm and dread. The couple then undertook a major renovation costing about £500,000. The articles describe the condition of the home as so crumbling that temporary foam filling was used to reduce the risk of collapse. After the renovation, the couple presents the project as a successful rescue of a property they say had been in an extremely poor state. The coverage focuses primarily on the scale of the deterioration, the unusual temporary measure, and the cost of the subsequent refurbishment, but does not provide detailed technical specifics of the structural works beyond the reported figures and the foam used at an earlier stage.
