The work
Why lenders object to foam
Spray foam removal means taking open or closed cell foam back off the underside of the tiles or felt and the rafters. Foam traps moisture in the roof space and makes the timbers impossible to inspect, and lenders have taken a hard line on it, so a house with foam in the loft can be difficult to remortgage or sell even when the roof itself is sound.
Getting the foam out again makes the roof mortgageable, lets the timbers be seen and inspected, and lets the roof space breathe as it was meant to. In most cases it removes the single thing most likely to hold up a sale or a remortgage.
We scrape the foam off the timbers and the felt, clear out the debris, then deal with whatever it was hiding, which is often a felt layer that has been torn or contaminated and needs replacing. You get a written record of the condition of the roof space afterwards, so you have something to show a surveyor or a buyer.

The process
How spray foam removal normally runs
- 01
Inspect the loft
Which type of foam, how thick, and what it has been sprayed onto. That decides the method and the price.

A written price covering removal, waste and any membrane work that is likely to follow.
- 03
Strip out
Foam removed from the timbers and the underside of the roof, with the loft sheeted to contain the mess.
- 04
Make good and record
Membrane repaired or replaced where needed, then a written condition report on the roof space.
Pricing
What moves the price
Every roof is different, so the quote follows a look at yours rather than a figure over the phone. The roof, and the loft where the fault is a leak, both get checked before anything is priced.
The quote you get back is itemised: access, materials, labour and clearing the site. Where the job needs scaffold, that goes in the figure from the start, not added later. The points on the right are what make the biggest difference to where the price lands.
What we look at
- Whether it is open cell or closed cell foam, as closed cell is far harder to remove
- The area covered and the thickness of the application
- Whether the foam was sprayed onto felt, onto a membrane, or directly onto the tiles
- How much membrane needs replacing once the foam is off
- Loft access, and how much of the roof space is reachable
