Spray foam removal in Spalding
Spray foam in the roof can stall a sale or a remortgage. We strip it out by hand, check the timbers underneath and leave the loft clear for the surveyor.
Spray foam in the loft has a habit of staying invisible until you try to sell the house. Foam was sprayed under a lot of British roofs in the 2000s and 2010s, sold as insulation, and Spalding has its share of them. Those houses are now coming onto the market, and that is usually when the phone rings: a buyer's surveyor has been up the ladder, flagged the foam, and the sale has stalled.
Why surveyors and lenders object to it
Foam sprayed to the underside of a roof, open cell or closed cell, covers the rafters and the felt. A surveyor cannot see the condition of the timbers, and the foam can stop the roof breathing. Because of that, many UK mortgage lenders will not lend on a house with spray foam in the roof until it has been removed. It does not matter how sound the roof might be: if the surveyor cannot see the timbers, they cannot report on them.
What removal involves
We strip the foam from the rafters, the felt and the timbers by hand, then check the wood underneath for damp and rot, because foam is very good at hiding both. Everything we find is photographed, so you see the state of your own roof timbers rather than taking anybody's word for it. The loft is left clear, so a surveyor can get their head through the hatch and actually see the roof structure. That is the whole aim of the job: a loft that can be inspected.
Sorted before it costs you the sale

You ring 01406 704369 or send the form, we call you back, and we come out and look at the loft.

Spray Foam Removal in Spalding: common questions
Can I still sell my house in Spalding if the loft has spray foam?
It is harder, because many UK mortgage lenders will not lend on a home with spray foam in the roof until it has been removed, and a buyer's surveyor is likely to flag it. That is why most people deal with the foam when selling, buying or remortgaging. We come and look for free, and you get the removal price in writing before you decide anything.
What does spray foam removal cost in Spalding?
It turns on how big the loft is, which type of foam went in and how thickly it was applied, so we will not put a number on it unseen. The look is free, the quote arrives in writing, and the figure on that quote is the figure you pay.
What happens if you find rot under the foam in my Spalding loft?
We photograph it and show you, the same as everything else we find, and explain plainly what it means. Checking the timbers for damp and rot is part of the removal, because the foam hides their condition. Any further work would be explained and priced separately in writing, with no pressure to go ahead.
What record do I get once the foam is out of my Spalding roof?
Photographs and paperwork. We photograph what we found and the work itself, the quote and the completed work are put in writing, and the loft is left clear so a surveyor can see the roof structure with their own eyes.
