Spray Foam Removal
Safe, thorough removal of old or problematic spray foam insulation from lofts and roofs
About Spray Foam Removal
Spray foam insulation was widely installed in lofts over the past two decades, but poor-quality or incorrectly specified installations can trap moisture against timber roof structures, leading to rot, corrosion of nails and fixings, and difficulty getting a mortgage or insurance on the property. We carry out careful assessment and removal of problematic spray foam, helping homeowners resolve timber damage and satisfy mortgage lender or surveyor requirements.
Benefits of Spray Foam Removal
Protect Your Roof Structure
Removing foam that's trapping moisture against timbers halts ongoing decay and allows the roof to dry out and be properly assessed.
Resolve Mortgage & Survey Issues
Many lenders and surveyors flag closed-cell spray foam as a risk. Removal and a clear report can help unblock sales, remortgages, and valuations.
Enable Proper Re-Insulation
Once foam is removed and any timber repairs completed, your loft can be re-insulated using a modern, breathable, mortgage-friendly method.
Peace of Mind
A clear, documented removal process gives you evidence for solicitors, lenders, and future buyers that the issue has been properly addressed.
Our Process
We start with a thorough loft inspection to assess the type of foam (open or closed-cell), the extent of coverage, and any visible timber damage. Foam is then carefully removed from rafters, felt, and boarding using appropriate hand and mechanical methods, with debris cleared and disposed of responsibly. Where timber has been affected, we identify the extent of repairs needed and can advise on next steps, including re-insulation once the roof structure has been confirmed sound.
Specifications & Materials
Removal methods are matched to the foam type and roof construction to minimise the risk of further damage to felt, battens, or timbers during the process. Where required, we can arrange a post-removal timber and roof void report to support mortgage or insurance requirements.
Guarantees & Certification
All spray foam removal work is carried out to industry best practice, with clear documentation provided on completion to support mortgage, insurance, or resale requirements.
