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.

    Key takeaways

    • 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.

    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 the same team

    No subcontractors sent out in our name. The surveyor who quotes it sets out the work, and the lads who turn up are ours.

    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.

    • Full removal, open and closed cell
    • Timbers cleaned back and inspected
    • Paperwork accepted by surveyors
    • Loft hoovered out at the end of every day

    Loft Insulation & Boarding

    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.

    • Old insulation removed and taken away
    • New insulation laid to current depth
    • Raised loft boarding over the top
    • Carpets and landing covered before we start

    Damp Proofing

    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.

    • Damp proof course injection
    • Membranes, salt neutralising and replastering
    • Repointing and external repairs
    • Air bricks and ventilation
