Universal Eco Homes Removing Spray Foam Insulation in a house

Why Removing Spray Foam Insulation Should Only Be Done by Certified Professionals

Removing spray foam insulation is no simple task, and it’s certainly not one to attempt yourself. At Universal Eco Homes, we’ve seen the damage caused when untrained individuals try to tackle this complex process. Without the right tools or expertise, removing spray foam insulation can seriously affect your roof’s structure, void warranties, and even make your property harder to sell.

This is especially true if the insulation was installed incorrectly in the first place-a problem we come across more often than you might expect. Many homeowners are now only discovering the risks associated with spray foam insulation when they try to remortgage, release equity or sell their home. Unfortunately, by that point, they may already be facing an uphill battle.

That’s why it’s so important to get the job done properly the first time, using qualified professionals who understand the risks and follow best practices. With over 30 years of combined experience in home improvement, we know exactly how to carry out spray foam removal safely, thoroughly and with your home’s long-term health in mind.

We’re also proud to offer a full range of roofing services alongside insulation removal, including roof cleaning and ProPERLA protective coatings-making us a trusted, all-in-one solution for exterior property care.

The Risks of Removing Spray Foam Insulation Without Training

Spray foam insulation was once praised for its energy-saving benefits. But over time, many homeowners have discovered its downsides. As lenders tighten restrictions, properties with spray foam in the loft are becoming harder to remortgage or sell-especially when it’s been poorly installed.

Trying to carry out removing spray foam insulation without proper training can lead to damaged rafters, poor ventilation, and significant structural issues. It’s a high-risk job that needs specialist equipment and experience.
