SPRAY FOAM REMOVAL

Spray Foam Insulation
Removal Specialists

We provide a professional, specialist spray foam insulation removal service for homeowners, surveyors, and property professionals. Our service is designed to safely remove problematic spray foam insulation, restore ventilation, and protect the structural integrity of your roof.

Spray foam insulation was once promoted as a modern insulation solution, but it is now widely recognised for causing serious issues including trapped moisture, timber decay, restricted inspections, mortgage refusal, and reduced property value. Our experienced team uses controlled, methodical removal techniques to return loft spaces to a compliant, breathable condition.

Why Spray Foam Insulation Is a Problem

  • When spray foam is applied directly to roof timbers and felt, it restricts airflow and traps moisture within the roof structure. This can accelerate deterioration and prevent essential inspections of the roof timbers.

  • Condensation and trapped moisture

  • Timber rot and structural weakening

  • Inability to inspect roof timbers or felt

  • Reduced roof lifespan

  • Mortgage and insurance refusal

  • Lower property value

  • Many lenders now require full removal before approving a mortgage or remortgage.

SPRAY FOAM REMOVAL

Removal of Remnant
Spray Foam from
Previous Poor Workmanship

We are frequently instructed to correct incomplete or poorly executed spray foam removals carried out by other contractors. Partial removal often leaves remnant spray foam bonded to rafters, felt, or hard-to-reach areas, which can still cause serious issues.

Why remnant spray foam remains a problem:

  • Moisture can still become trapped
  • Surveyors may continue to flag the property as non-compliant
  • Mortgage lenders often require complete removal
  • Hidden timber damage may continue unnoticed

We specialise in meticulous removal of residual spray foam, ensuring roof timbers are fully visible, ventilation is restored, and lender concerns are properly addressed.

SPRAY FOAM REMOVAL

Mortgage Lender & Surveyor
Focused Spray Foam Removal

Spray foam insulation is now one of the most common reasons for mortgage refusals, retentions, and down-valuations. Many lenders require clear evidence that spray foam has been fully removed and that roof timbers can be visually inspected.

Our service is designed with mortgage lenders and surveyors in mind.

We help by:

  • Fully exposing roof timbers and felt where possible
  • Removing all visible and remnant spray foam
  • Restoring airflow and ventilation pathways
  • Providing clear documentation and photographs of completed works
  • Ensuring the loft is suitable for inspection

This approach gives surveyors confidence and helps satisfy lender requirements when selling, buying, or remortgaging a property.

Restoring Ventilation
& Long-Term Protection

One of the most critical steps following spray foam removal is restoring proper airflow. Without adequate ventilation, moisture issues can persist even after insulation removal.

We ensure your loft:

  • Allows natural airflow
  • Reduces condensation and mould risk
  • Supports long-term timber health
  • Meets modern best-practice standards

This protects your roof structure and helps prevent future problems.
