Spray Foam Removal in Bournemouth: Roof Reopened and Reinsulated
Closed-cell foam sprayed across the full underside of the roof, hiding every rafter and the felt behind it. It came off by hand, bagged as it went, and the loft was reinsulated at joist level once the structure was visible again.

What customers say
“We were in the middle of selling our house when the buyer's mortgage was declined due to spray foam insulation in the loft. From the first call the team were knowledgeable, honest and reassuring. The spray foam was removed professionally, the loft was left tidy, and most importantly we received full certification.”

“The team arrived and got straight on with the work, removing the old insulation and then straight on with installing the new. They were polite and answered questions we had, and when they had finished they cleaned up and asked us to have a look to see everything was alright. Very impressed.”

“We contacted EcoTrust after spray foam insulation in the loft caused problems with our house sale following the mortgage survey. They explained clearly why the foam was an issue and set out exactly what needed to be done. After completion we received the necessary paperwork, which was accepted by the surveyor, allowing the sale to move forward.”

“The 2-man team arrived just after 8am and immediately covered the stair and landing carpet prior to starting. They explained exactly what they were going to do, hoovered the roof space following removal of the 2 layers of old insulation, then fitted the new wool insulation and hoovered all my carpets. Friendly, polite and professional.”

“Really excellent job done. EcoTrust sorted out our damp porch area using damp course injections, salt neutralising treatment, a membrane as well as repointing and installing an air brick. It was plastered, left neat and tidy and ready for decorating. Liam's communication and advice was excellent throughout.”

“From initial contact they were highly professional and very thorough with their initial assessment. Very professional and easy to have around the home. Communication was excellent and they even phoned if they were going to be a little late. Kept us informed at all stages and invited us up into the loft to check on progress.”

“I would highly recommend EcoTrust. From start to finish they have been extremely professional. Booking in a survey was easy. Liam turned up on time, was very pleasant and informative, and gave me an instant quote which was very competitive. On the day the lads turned up on time, put down dust sheets and got on with the job in hand.”

“We had ongoing damp issues throughout the downstairs of our home. Ben and Lee were excellent from start to finish. They carried out repointing works externally to resolve the source of water ingress, then completed a full damp proof course and installed a damp proof membrane internally. Everything was explained clearly from the outset.”

“No crappy selling technique, just the facts. Very understanding and helpful. They have done a great job at removing the spray foam and cleaning up after themselves as well. They hoovered everything — I think the loft is cleaner now than when they started.”

“I used EcoTrust to insulate and board my loft. The two installers who carried out the work were wonderful — really considerate, helpful in their advice, and they cleaned up after themselves and worked really hard throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending the firm to anyone.”

“After recently having loft insulation replaced, EcoTrust came back to fix a hole in the ceiling and replaster. Ben and Lee were beyond any expectations we could have asked for. Being conscious of mess due to dogs in our home, they went above and beyond — there literally wasn't any. Would certainly use again.”

“Very professional. Team worked well clearing and cleaning the loft space prior to installing new insulation. They were polite and respectful and kept me fully informed throughout.”
Deborah T10/10Loft insulation · WR3
“Polite and conscientious team. They worked hard and answered any questions we had. They took photos of the loft after they'd cleared it of boarding. After they'd put the insulation down they encouraged us to have a look. They vacuumed the carpet afterwards although they had put a polythene covering down to protect it.”

“Very happy with the work completed removing some stubborn spray foam insulation from our loft. Hard working guys, very polite and friendly. Always kept us updated on progress and timescales. A great job and would highly recommend.”

“From when we had the survey to when the job was finished I can't fault anything. Everyone was friendly, professional and respectful to us and our property.”

“My loft space was partially boarded and the works had left it full of dislodged old insulation and debris. I got a call immediately after requesting a quote and a visit the same week. Two men arrived and got straight to work, hardly stopping for a drink. I'm amazed they managed to keep my house so clean when they were filthy.”

“Really impressed with the whole service. We had damp showing through the living-room wall and EcoTrust came out the next day. The explanation was clear and honest, and the team carried out the treatment quickly with no mess left behind. The wall has dried out perfectly and there's been no sign of damp returning.”
Foam applied across the whole roof slope, leaving nothing inspectable behind it.
Removed by hand and bagged out rather than dropped into the loft.
Rafters and felt cleaned back so the roof can be surveyed again.
Mineral wool laid between the joists, with the boarded area kept usable.
Before — foam across the whole slope, bagged as it came off.After — rafters and felt clear, mineral wool laid between the joists.
What was up there
Foam across the full underside of the roof, thick enough to bury the rafters. With it in place a surveyor cannot see the timbers, the battens or the felt, so the condition of the roof cannot be signed off either way — which is where most of these calls start.
It also seals the roof up. Air stops moving through the space, and moisture that used to vent out has nowhere to go.
What we did
The foam was taken off by hand across the whole slope and bagged as it came away, rather than dropped and swept up afterwards. The rafters and the felt behind them were cleaned back so the structure is visible and inspectable again.
With the roof reopened, insulation went back in at joist level — mineral wool laid between the joists, where it belongs, rather than sprayed onto the roof itself.
The result
Bare, clean timbers with the felt visible behind them, air moving through the roof space again, and insulation back in at the right level. The photographs above are the same loft before and after.
What we do
Three jobs, done properly, by an experienced team
Experienced, professional installers on every job. The surveyor who quotes it sets out the work, and we manage it from start to finish.
Spray Foam Removal
The most common reason people call us: a mortgage lender or surveyor has flagged spray foam in the loft and the sale has stalled.
