Spray foam removal in Hardwicke Gloucestershire done right, first time

Surveyor or lender has flagged the foam

This is the most common trigger in Hardwicke. A mortgage surveyor spots spray foam on the rafters and the lender refuses to lend until it is removed and documented. It is urgent because the sale depends on it, and lenders usually want it sorted within a few weeks.

Damp patches or condensation in the loft

Foam sprayed across rafters blocks the ventilation gap, so moisture has nowhere to go. It condenses on the felt and drips onto whatever is stored below. If you are seeing damp patches, the foam is almost certainly the cause and the timber is at risk.

Musty smell coming from the roof space

A musty smell usually means trapped moisture has been sitting against the timber for a while. In Hardwicke we often find early rot in the rafters when we investigate. The sooner the foam comes out, the less timber needs replacing.

Visible mould on rafters or roof felt

Mould on the timber is a clear sign the roof space is not breathing. It is common in Hardwicke lofts where closed cell foam has been sprayed directly onto the felt. Left alone, the mould spreads and the timber softens.

Foam has started to crack or pull away

When foam cracks or separates from the timber, it is no longer insulating properly and moisture can get behind it. This is often the first visible sign that a foam job has failed. It is worth an assessment before the damage spreads.
