Spray foam removal in Worrall done right, first time

A surveyor or lender has flagged the foam

This is the most common trigger. Lenders often refuse mortgages on properties with spray foam between rafters because it hides the roof structure and can trap moisture. If you have had a valuation report mentioning it, act quickly. The longer it sits, the more chance the timbers have deteriorated underneath.

Damp or condensation in the loft

Spray foam applied directly to the underside of roof tiles blocks ventilation. Moisture from the house rises into the loft, hits the cold foam and condenses. You will see damp patches on timbers, rusty nail heads or a musty smell. Left alone, this leads to rot.

Foam has shrunk or pulled away from timbers

Spray foam shrinkage is common after a few years. When the foam pulls away, it leaves gaps that let warm air into the roof space. That defeats the point of the insulation and creates cold spots where condensation forms. If you can see gaps around the edges, it needs to come out.

You cannot sell or remortgage the property

Difficulty selling a home with spray foam is now a well-known problem in S35 and S36. Buyers cannot get a mortgage, so sales stall. Removing the foam and providing a clean report is usually the fastest way to get the sale moving again.

Pests or nesting in the insulation

Spray foam that has shrunk or come loose creates voids where insects, wasps and rodents nest. If you are finding droppings, hearing scratching in the loft, or seeing insects around the eaves, the insulation may be the cause. We remove the foam, clear the debris and check for entry points.
