Spray foam removal in Up Hatherley Gloucestershire Done Right

Condensation dripping from the roof felt

Water forming on the underside of the felt and dripping onto stored items means the roof cannot breathe. Spray foam has sealed the ventilation path, so warm moist air from the house has nowhere to go. Left alone, the timber battens stay wet and rot sets in within a couple of winters.

Surveyor has flagged foam in the loft

If a valuation surveyor has noted spray foam, your lender will almost certainly want it removed before releasing funds. This is the single most common reason we are called out in Up Hatherley. Acting quickly keeps a sale or remortgage on track.

A musty smell coming from the loft hatch

A damp, earthy smell when you open the loft hatch usually points to trapped moisture and early timber decay. It is easy to ignore because you rarely go up there, but the smell means the problem is already established and worth investigating with a moisture meter.

Foam is crumbling or flaking to the touch

Older polyurethane foam goes brittle over time and starts to crumble. Once it breaks down, it stops insulating and starts shedding dust into the loft. Crumbling foam is also harder to remove cleanly, so it is better dealt with sooner rather than later.

Higher energy bills with a cold loft

If your heating bills have crept up and the loft still feels cold, the foam may have failed as insulation while still blocking ventilation. You are paying more to heat the house and risking the roof at the same time, which is the worst of both outcomes.
