Spray Foam
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.
GET A QUOTEWhy 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.
Our Professional Spray Foam Removal Process
Before any work begins, we carry out a detailed assessment to identify the type of foam, level of adhesion, and condition of the roof structure. Our removal process is designed to be thorough while protecting your property wherever possible. Where required, we can also advise on insulation and ventilation improvements following removal.
Controlled mechanical removal of spray foam
Careful exposure of roof timbers and felt
Safe removal of contaminated debris
Restoration of airflow within the loft
Preparation for compliant insulation upgrades
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.
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.
