EXPERT SPRAY FOAM REMOVAL SERVICES DEVON AND CORNWALL
Restoring Your Home’s Value: Spray Foam
Make Your Property Mortgage-Ready. While spray foam was once marketed as a "miracle" insulator, it has become a significant hurdle for homeowners.
Many UK mortgage lenders and equity release providers now refuse to lend on properties with spray foam insulation.
We provide specialist, non-destructive removal services designed specifically to satisfy surveyors and lenders, helping you secure your mortgage, sell your home, or release equity.
Protect Your Health and Your Property
Don't take any chances when it comes to Spray Foam. Contact us today for a reliable Spray Foam removal service.
1. Professional Assessment & Survey
We begin with a detailed inspection to identify the type of foam (Open or Closed Cell) and assess the condition of the underlying timbers and roof felt.
2. Manual, Non-Destructive Removal
To protect your home’s structural integrity, we use manual hand-tool methods.
No Harsh Chemicals: We avoid solvents that can damage the wood or leave odors.
Timber Preservation: We meticulously scrape the foam away until the wood is visible, ensuring no "shadowing" or residue is left behind that could hide defects where possible.
3. Timber Integrity & Moisture Testing
Once the foam is gone, we conduct a full structural health check.
Moisture Readings: We test the timbers to ensure they are within safe, dry limits.
Rot Identification: If the foam has caused damage, we identify it early so it can be repaired and certified.
4. HEPA-Filtered Cleaning
Spray foam removal creates significant dust and debris. We use industrial HEPA-filtered vacuums to ensure your loft and living spaces remain clean and safe for your family.
5. Compliant Disposal
Asbestos isn't the only material that requires care. Spray foam is a chemical waste product.
We provide a Waste Transfer Note, proving the material was disposed of at a licensed facility a document often requested by solicitors during a house sale.
Get Your Certificate of Completion
Upon finishing the work, you will receive a comprehensive removal document, including:
Before & After Photos (Crucial for lender proof).
Our Role in the Inspection Process
We perform spray foam removal to ensure a RICS-qualified surveyor can inspect the roof structure entirely unencumbered.
Whether the installation is open or closed-cell, our removal service allows for a thorough assessment of timbers against current lending standards.
Please Note: While our work facilitates the inspection, we do not guarantee mortgage ability and no Spray Removal Firm can!
Final lending decisions rest solely with the surveyor and the specific criteria of the mortgage lender who will also consider the age and construction of the original roof.
We cannot be held accountable for pre-existing structural issues, age-related wear, or damage caused by the initial spray foam installation.
Don't let spray foam devalue your biggest asset.
