Spray foam removal in Heeley done properly, first time

Foam pulling away from the rafters

When spray foam shrinks, it leaves gaps between the foam and the timber. Condensation forms in those gaps and soaks into the rafters. If you can see daylight or a gap behind the foam, it is already failing.

Damp patches on upstairs ceilings

Foam that blocks the roof ventilation traps warm moist air against the timbers. That moisture eventually finds its way through and shows as a brown patch on the ceiling below. It usually gets worse through winter.

Musty smell in the loft or landing

A persistent damp, earthy smell in the loft means moisture is sitting in the roof space. Spray foam is often the cause because it stops the roof breathing. Left alone, it leads to rot in the rafters.

Mortgage valuation flagged the foam

Lenders and surveyors treat spray foam as a risk because it can hide structural problems and block ventilation. If your valuation report mentions it, you will usually need it removed before the mortgage completes.

Difficulty selling or remortgaging

Buyers struggle to get a mortgage on a foam-insulated roof, and remortgages can be refused too. Removing the foam and providing a written summary is usually the fastest way to unblock a sale or a remortgage.
