Spray Foam Removal
Spray Foam Removal
Spray foam insulation was once promoted as a miracle solution for energy efficiency. Today, it’s one of the biggest problems facing UK homeowners. Mortgage lenders and surveyors now flag spray foam insulation as a major issue, often refusing applications outright if it’s present in the roof. What seemed like a cost-saving upgrade has become a barrier to selling, remortgaging, or even insuring your home.
Beyond the financial challenges, spray foam can also cause hidden structural problems. By sealing roof timbers too tightly, it traps moisture, prevents proper ventilation, and increases the risk of condensation, damp, and even timber rot. In many cases, these issues remain unseen until major damage is uncovered during surveys or repairs.
