Removal is the start of the job, not the end of it
Spray foam insulation has become a serious problem for homeowners: it hides the roof structure from surveyors, some lenders are cautious about mortgaging homes that have it, and removal quotes vary wildly because they often price completely different scopes.
This is where being a construction company matters. A removal-only firm can take the foam out; if the timbers underneath have suffered, they hand you the problem. We remove the foam, inspect the structure, repair or replace what needs it, re-insulate to current standards with proper ventilation, and give you the documentation pack that surveyors and lenders want to see. Covered nationwide. Our certification is fully RICS compliant.

Questions
Spray Foam Removal questions, answered straight
How much does spray foam removal cost?
Quotes vary widely because they often price different scopes: open cell strips out faster than closed cell, and the real question is what the timbers underneath need. Our guide to spray foam removal cost explains what moves the number; the survey gives you a fixed written figure.
Can you get a mortgage on a house with spray foam?
Some lenders are cautious, particularly with closed cell foam sprayed directly onto the underside of the covering, because it stops the structure being inspected. In practice many buyers are told the foam has to come out before the lender proceeds, which is why sellers deal with it early.
What happens after the foam comes out?
The timbers and battens get inspected, anything that has suffered gets repaired or replaced, and the roof is re-insulated with proper ventilation. A removal-only firm can do the first step; we do all three.
Do you provide documentation for surveyors and lenders?
Yes: a removal report, photographs of the exposed timbers, details of any repairs, and the specification of the replacement insulation. That package is what reassures a surveyor or lender later.
