Spray foam insulation stripped from roof timbers.
Spray foam insulation under a roof often only becomes a problem when the house goes on the market. A surveyor lifts the loft hatch, sees foam on the underside of the roof and flags it, because the foam hides the condition of the timbers and stops the roof breathing. Many UK mortgage lenders will not lend on a home with spray foam in the roof until it has been removed. We remove it, by hand and properly, across Lincolnshire.
Open or closed cell foam sprayed on to the underside of a roof bonds to the rafters and the felt. Once it is on, nobody can see whether the timbers behind it are dry and sound, and the roof can no longer breathe as it should. Surveyors flag it for exactly that reason, and until the loft is clear a lender has no way to be satisfied about the roof. That is why people search for spray foam removal: usually when selling, buying or remortgaging, and usually with a deadline attached.
Removal is hand work, not a quick scrape. The foam is stripped from the rafters, the felt and the timbers piece by piece, and as the structure is uncovered we check the wood for damp and rot. Whatever is under there, good or bad, is photographed. When we leave, the loft is clear, so a surveyor can actually see the roof structure, which is the whole point of the job.

Common questions
If you are selling, remortgaging or taking equity release, removal is usually the practical answer: the House of Commons Library reports that in 2024 a quarter of the biggest mortgage lenders and every equity release lender surveyed would not lend on a house with spray foam in the roof. If you are staying put and the timbers are dry, you can leave it and have it inspected. We strip it back to bare rafters by hand.

Many mortgage lenders decline to lend on a home with spray foam in the roof, so a sale can stall at the survey stage. Removing the foam and leaving the loft clear is what lets a surveyor see the roof again. We come and look for free, explain what is involved and put the price in writing.
It depends on the type of foam, how much of the roof it covers and the access, so we never guess. We look for free, then give you a fixed quote in writing, and the price quoted is the price paid.
Yes. Either type is stripped by hand from the rafters, felt and timbers so the loft is left clear. We will tell you at the visit which type you have and what removing it will involve.
Yes. As the foam comes off we check the timbers for damp and rot and photograph what we find, good or bad, and nothing is dressed up or played down. If anything needs attention you get a separate quote for it in writing.
Ring us on 01406 704369 or send the form. We come and look in the loft for free, photograph the foam and whatever can be seen of the roof, and give you a price in writing. Once the foam is off, the work and what it uncovered are photographed and the finished job is confirmed in writing, so you have a clear, dated record to pass to your buyer, their surveyor or your lender. Whether a particular lender is then satisfied is their surveyor's decision, not ours.
It depends on how much of the roof the foam covers, which type it is and how easy the loft is to get into, so we do not guess over the phone. We look first, for free, and tell you at the visit what the job involves, with the price in writing. If a sale or a mortgage offer has a deadline, tell us when you ring so we know what you are working to.
