Loft Insulation · Leeds300mm Loft Insulation in Leeds, West Yorkshire35m² · One dayThe loft had closed cell spray foam across about 40m² of the roof, and the job needed doing quickly. Many lenders and surveyors are cautious about spray foam because it hides the roof timbers, so they can't check their condition.
Closed cell foam sets hard and grips the timber, so it takes more work to remove than the softer open cell type.
Two days after starting, the rafters were clear of foam and the loft floor had new 300mm insulation, as the photo above shows. The roof timbers can be seen again by anyone who needs to inspect them.
Not sure which type of foam you have? Press it gently with a gloved hand. Open cell foam is soft and gives a little. Closed cell foam is hard and rigid. Knowing which you have helps when you ask for quotes.
Generally, yes. Closed cell foam sets hard and grips the timber. On this Birmingham job, 40m² of closed cell foam came out over 2 days, along with new insulation going down.
We can. On this job we laid 30m² of 300mm loft insulation once the foam was out.
Many lenders and surveyors are cautious about spray foam because it can hide the roof timbers, so they can't check their condition. Removing it puts the timbers back on show.

What we do
No subcontractors sent out in our name. The surveyor who quotes it sets out the work, and the lads who turn up are ours.
The most common reason people call us: a mortgage lender or surveyor has flagged spray foam in the loft and the sale has stalled.
Old, flattened insulation taken out, the loft space cleaned, and new wool laid to depth. Boarded storage raised above it if you want the space back.
Rising and penetrating damp traced back to what is actually causing it — then fixed outside as well as in, so it does not come back.
Raised on legs so the deck sits above the insulation instead of crushing it. Storage you can use without a colder bedroom underneath.
We are in lofts every day, so we see the roof from underneath before anyone goes up top — which is usually where the real fault shows.
Not sure what you need?
Most people ring us describing a symptom, not a service. Pick the one that sounds like your house.
We survey free, price it in writing, and hand over the certification your surveyor or lender is asking for.
