What the job involves
Foam bonded to the felt and rafters can trap moisture against the timber and cause rot that stays hidden until the roof is opened up. Removing it lets the roof breathe and lets a surveyor see the structure.
We strip the foam from the membrane and timbers, clear the debris from the loft and remove it from site. If the felt or any timbers have suffered underneath, we can put the roof right at the same time.

The spray foam removal we take on
Everything we handle as part of your spray foam removal, from first survey to final tidy-up.
Spray Foam Removal
Spray foam sprayed to the underside of a roof is now a common reason a mortgage, remortgage or equity release is refused, because a surveyor cannot inspect the timbers underneath.
Foam bonded to the felt and rafters can also trap moisture and hide rot until the roof is opened up, so what looks like insulation can quietly be doing damage.
We remove the foam from the membrane and timbers, clear the loft and leave the structure open and inspectable again — clearing the way for a sale and letting the roof breathe.
Spray Foam Removal questions
Why do I need to remove spray foam to sell my house?
Many lenders will not lend on a roof with spray foam because a surveyor cannot inspect the timbers. Removing it usually clears the way for a sale or remortgage.Can spray foam damage my roof?
It can. Foam bonded to the felt and rafters can trap moisture and hide rot, which is why removal and a proper inspection matter.Will I need a new roof after the foam comes off?
Not always. Once the foam is off we can see the true condition and advise. Any repairs are quoted separately so you know where you stand.How messy is spray foam removal?
We take the foam off the membrane and timbers carefully and clear all debris from the loft, leaving the space clean and the timbers open to inspect.Will removing the foam leave my loft cold?
Spray foam is not an efficient way to insulate a loft. Once it is off we can advise on proper, breathable insulation that keeps the roof space healthy.
