Why Spray Foam Insulation Causes Problems

Homeowners discovering that spray foam insulation can lead to serious complications.

Common issues include:

Moisture trapped against roof timbers
Increased risk of timber decay and rot
Inability to inspect the roof structure
Condensation problems within the loft
Mortgage lenders refusing approval

If you’ve searched for “spray foam removal near me” or compared national providers, it’s important to speak with roofing professionals, not just insulation companies.

Spray Foam Removal Costs

One of the most common questions we’re asked is “How much does spray foam removal cost?”

Costs depend on:

Size of the loft
Type of spray foam used (open or closed cell)
Accessibility
Condition of the roof structure

As a guide, spray foam removal costs in Berkshire typically range from £2,000 to £6,000, but an accurate quote requires an inspection.

We provide:

Clear, written quotations
No pressure sales tactics
Honest pricing based on the work required

Our Spray Foam Removal Process

Spray Foam in the loft problems fixed fast

Every property is different, so we tailor our removal process to suit your roof and loft structure.

1. Loft & Roof Assessment

We inspect the foam type, coverage, ventilation and roof condition before recommending removal.

2. Careful Foam Removal

Using specialist tools, the spray foam is removed mechanically and manually, with care taken to minimise damage to roof timbers.

3. Timber & Roof Inspection

Once exposed, timbers are checked for moisture issues or defects that may have been hidden.

4. Practical Roofing Advice

Where needed, we advise on ventilation improvements or remedial roofing work — with no obligation.

Spray Foam Removal Certificate – What You Need to Know

Many lenders ask for confirmation that spray foam insulation has been professionally removed.

While there is no single official “spray foam removal certificate”, we can provide:

Written confirmation of completed removal
Supporting photographs
Contractor documentation suitable for lenders or surveyors

If your mortgage provider has specific requirements, we’ll help you understand exactly what is needed.

Spray Foam Removal Grants – Are They Available?

We are often asked about spray foam removal grants.

At present:

There are no UK-wide grants specifically for spray foam removal
Removal is classed as remedial work, not insulation improvement

However, in some cases:

Follow-on insulation or roofing improvements may qualify for support
We can advise on realistic options once the foam has been removed

We believe in clear, honest guidance — even when funding is not available.

Local Spray Foam Removal Contractors – Not a National Call Centre

Unlike large national companies, Marlow Roofing is a local Berkshire-based roofing contractor.

This means:

You deal directly with experienced roofers
We understand local housing types and roof structures
No subcontracting or sales-only inspections
Practical advice based on real roofing experience

If you’re comparing providers or searching for alternatives to large “countrywide” spray foam removal companies, we offer a more personal, accountable service.

William and the team were absolutely fantastic. They came and assessed our roof which urgently needed repair work and offered a solution which didnt entail completely re-doing the roof. They were able to fit us in quickly and were understanding of what we needed done. They went above and beyond, making sure to keep our neighbours happy during the disruption too. Would highly recommend.

Great service and well finished job. A few tricky areas of roofing and chimnery repairs and help in diagnosing a damp problem. Everything done on time whilst working round poor weather. Would recommend.

Will, Sean and the team did a superb job on our roof. They replaced two sections of flat roof and completed repairs to the pitched section. There was clear communication throughout, and I was kept up to date as the job progressed (in-person, and via photos and videos). The finished product is second to none and was delivered within budget. We discovered a few unexpected issues with the old roof and these were tackled with pragmatism and professionalism. I would thoroughly recommend the Marlow Roofing Company as a trustworthy, hard-working and highly-skilled outfit.

William, Sean and the team, have done an outstanding job in restoring our entire roof. Hips removed cleaned and replaced, tiles cleaned and moss free, re-pointing the chimneys, and replacing numerous missing or broken tiles. Will's quote was competitive and fair and he delivered completely as promised - no quibbles for the extra works here and there. The team were polite and tidy and were good company to have on site for a few days. Great job, thank you.

William, Brian and the team of Marlow Roofing Specialists are professional and trustworthy. William follows through every process and keeps us in the loop.

They recently completed re-roofing and some minor work for us.
New main roof includes adding felt, replacing batten, installing new slates and reclaimed slates, replacing gutter and fascia, using vented soffit.
Minor work includes replacing damaged slates of extension roof, repairing crumbling bricks and repointing where necessary, replacing loft insulation, insulating loft hatch, painting window sills, etc.

Delighted with the end result. Without doubt, we would recommend Marlow Roofing Specialists.

FAQs

Damp in your house can result in a lot of issues, some of which pose health risks. Mould growth can result in respiratory allergies. Its important to get the problem sorted by a professional team

Loft spray foam removal is the process of professionally removing spray foam insulation that has been applied to roof timbers or felt. This allows the roof structure to breathe, be inspected properly, and meet mortgage and lender requirements.

Many lenders consider spray foam insulation a risk because it can trap moisture, hide timber defects, and prevent roof inspection. As a result, full spray foam removal is often required before a mortgage or remortgage is approved.

Spray foam removal costs typically range from £2,000 to £6,000 depending on loft size, foam type, access, and roof condition. A site inspection is required for an accurate quote.

Not always, but many surveyors and lenders now insist on full removal. If the foam is affecting ventilation, timber condition, or mortgage approval, removal is usually unavoidable.

When carried out by experienced roof contractors, spray foam removal is done carefully to minimise damage. Any existing timber issues are identified once the foam is removed.

Most loft spray foam removal projects take between 1 and 3 days, depending on the size of the loft and the amount of foam present.

There is no single official certificate, but we provide written confirmation of professional removal, supported by photographs, which is usually accepted by lenders and surveyors.

Currently, there are no UK government grants specifically for spray foam removal. Removal is classed as remedial work rather than an energy-efficiency upgrade.

Open-cell foam is softer and more breathable, while closed-cell foam is rigid and more problematic for roofs. Closed-cell foam is more likely to require full removal.

Selling a property with spray foam insulation can be difficult, as many buyers cannot secure a mortgage. Professional removal often resolves this issue.

No. Spray foam removal requires specialist tools and roofing experience. DIY removal risks damaging roof timbers and may not be accepted by lenders.

Yes. We provide loft spray foam removal across Berkshire and regularly cover Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Slough and surrounding areas.

Once removed, we inspect the roof timbers and advise on ventilation or any necessary remedial roofing work to ensure long-term compliance and protection.

You can contact us directly to arrange a loft inspection. We’ll assess the spray foam, explain your options clearly, and provide a written quotation.
