There are various reasons why lenders are reluctant to issue mortgages on properties with spray foam insulation. The key concerns include moisture being trapped between the foam and timbers leading to rot and, uncertain fire-resistant properties of the foam. Furthermore, instances of mis-selling the insulation and improper application to hide poor roof conditions contribute to these issues. Despite potential foam removal, not all lenders will be willing to accept the property for a mortgage, adding another layer of complexity to the process.

In preparation for spray foam insulation removal, we ensure a comprehensive risk assessment of the roof, internally and externally. This helps us understand the condition of the roof covering to prevent unwanted situations like slippages or falls. Still, in the unlikely event of damages, our expert team is trained and equipped to repair and replace any part of the roof, providing a full-circle service to our clients. Safety is a prerequisite in our workflow and we strive to ensure the highest standards. We follow a systematic methodology to inspect the entire area, examining rooftops and checking for potential challenges that we might face in the process.

There is no issue if your property has no under-felt as this will not affect the properties value as the object of the exercise is to expose the timbers.

If you’re selling or pursuing equity release, replacement isn’t needed. However, if house maintenance, airflow, or moisture issues arise due to the foam, we might suggest a different approved material.

Before our team enters the loft, a thorough inspection of the ceiling from below is conducted, and we document its current state with photographs. In the unexpected event that our team causes any significant damage, rest assured that they will correct it. Our trained professionals are equipped to make necessary repairs and restorations.

We photograph the timbers in the roof structure as proof and then proceed with the required repairs once you are happy with the information we have provided.

We use satellite information and measuring software to get all the measurements we need, so we’re able to confirm quotes before we even get to your property. Our team is well-prepared for any situation and we haven’t yet encountered a problem we weren’t ready for during previous work. We don’t need to see the property in person because we can’t assess it until the foam has been removed.

Absolutely. We responsibly haul away and dispose of all waste at fully licensed, regulated waste transfer stations.

Every house is distinct. But, most find that after installing standard loft insulation with mineral wool, nothing major changes apart from this improves air flow in the house, it reduces dampness, leaving the space feeling fresher.
