Spray foam removal in Upton St Leonards Gloucestershire done right

Surveyor flags foam on the roof deck

This is the most common trigger. Lenders often refuse a mortgage when foam is found on the underside of roof tiles or felt. If your buyer's surveyor has raised it, you need a removal report before the sale can proceed. We provide the documentation lenders want.

Damp or mould patches on ceilings

Foam that blocks ventilation traps moisture in the roof space. That moisture has to go somewhere, and it often shows up as a damp patch or black mould on the ceiling below. It will get worse until the foam is removed and airflow is restored.

Condensation on roof timbers

If you go into the loft and the rafters feel wet or have white staining, condensation is the likely cause. Spray foam is often the culprit because it seals the roof space. A moisture meter will confirm it, and removal is usually the fix.

Foam is soft, crumbly or falling away

Open cell foam can break down over time, especially if it has been wet. If it is crumbling or pulling away from the rafters, it is no longer doing its job and it is probably holding moisture against the timber. It needs to come out.
