Spray foam insulation was once marketed as a smart energy-saving upgrade. Today, it’s one of the biggest problems facing homeowners across the UK. Whether you’re trying to sell your home, secure a mortgage, or simply protect your property, spray foam insulation removal has become essential.
At Universal Eco Homes, we work with homeowners across England and Wales to remove spray foam safely and restore confidence in their roofs.
Many homeowners only learn that spray foam is a problem when a surveyor or mortgage lender raises it. It may look tidy in the loft, but spray foam can trap moisture against roof timbers. Over time, that hidden moisture can lead to timber decay, mould growth, and costly structural issues.
Lenders and insurers have taken notice. Properties with spray foam insulation are often rejected for mortgages, equity release, or insurance cover. That makes spray foam insulation removal not just a precaution but a necessary step if you plan to sell or refinance.
The longer the foam remains, the greater the risk to your roof. We’ve worked on properties where rot had already set in beneath the surface. In some cases, entire sections of timber had to be replaced. These repairs can be expensive, but they are often avoidable with timely intervention.
Even if your roof timbers are still sound, the presence of spray foam is often enough to delay or derail a sale. We regularly help homeowners meet urgent deadlines after failed surveys. Removing the foam quickly and correctly can keep your plans on track.
Our spray foam insulation removal service begins with a thorough inspection of your loft. We assess the type of foam used, how it was applied, and whether any damage has already occurred.
Removal is done carefully by hand using specialist tools. We work to protect the roof membrane, felt, and structural timbers while removing all traces of foam. This is not a job for general builders or DIY. Done incorrectly, spray foam insulation removal can leave your roof worse off than before.
We are also happy to provide written evidence or photographs of the completed removal for your lender or surveyor.
