Why More and More Homeowners Are Getting Spray Foam Insulation Removed
It’s Blocking Mortgages and Sales
Most major UK lenders now refuse mortgages on homes with spray foam insulation, especially in the loft. Even if it’s been well installed, it raises red flags. If you’re selling or remortgaging, that foam can stop the process dead.
It Can Trap Moisture and Cause Rot
Spray foam insulation seals your roof tight, but our UK climate needs breathability. Without proper airflow, condensation builds up, silently soaking timbers and underlay. The result? Rot, mould, and expensive damage.
It Might Be Hiding Bigger Issues
Spray foam covers everything. That makes it nearly impossible to inspect your roof. You can’t see leaks, rot, or woodworm. Surveyors don’t like what they can’t see, and neither do we.
Some Foams Pose Fire Risks
Closed-cell foams are particularly dense, and when exposed to fire, they can emit toxic gases. Worse, they make it harder for flames to be detected or extinguished quickly.
Poor Installations Are Shockingly Common
From blocked vents and patchy application to foam sprayed directly onto electrics—bad installations are everywhere. And no, the installer won’t be the one fixing it. You will.
At SD Roofing, we’ve removed spray foam insulation from properties of all ages. Yes, from modern semis to 100-year-old cottages. And we do it each time with the care, caution, and expertise the job demands.
Not All Spray Foam Insulation Is the Same. And Neither Is Removing It!
The type of foam in your loft determines how it must be removed. And we’ve seen it all.
Open-Cell Spray Foam Insulation
Soft and sponge-like, this is the easiest type to remove. But that doesn’t mean it’s quick. We remove it using hand tools, scrapers, and vacuums, so no residue remains on rafters or membranes. Risks if not done properly include tearing vapour barriers, damaging plasterboard, which leaves soaked residue behind.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation
This is the dense, rigid stuff, often bonded tightly to rafters. It requires skilled cutting, chipping, and extraction. We use specially adapted tools to do it without damaging timber or tiles. If done badly, it results in cracking structural elements, gouging wood. Results? Insulation shards that trap moisture.
Full-Roof Deck Applications
Sometimes, foam has been sprayed across the entire deck and glued directly to tiles or felt. This is where things get technical. We delicately separate the foam layer from the roof covering by using a mix of hand tools and patience. It takes time, but we do it right. We never tear off roofing solely to
“get it done fast.”
Hybrid & DIY Jobs
We often encounter botched applications of foam over fibreglass, on electrics, even on top of rot. In these cases, SD specialists adapt, investigate, and restore safely. No matter what’s been done, they’ve got the tools, training, and track record to put it right.
