Open cell spray foam had been sprayed across the underside of the main loft roof, with more on the cellar ceiling. With the foam in place, the roof timbers couldn't be seen or checked. Many lenders and surveyors are cautious about spray foam for exactly that reason.
Both areas were cleared over two days. The roof timbers are visible again and ready for a surveyor to inspect, and the homeowner has the paperwork to show a lender or buyer.
Take a torch into your loft and look up. If you can see the timbers and the boards or felt behind them, a surveyor can too. If they're hidden under foam, it's worth getting advice before you sell or remortgage.
It depends on the area and the type of foam. On this Burnley job, 40m² of loft roof and 16m² of cellar ceiling took our team 2 days.
Many lenders and surveyors are cautious because spray foam can hide the roof timbers, so they can't check their condition. Removing it puts the timbers back on show.
On this job the homeowner received a Certificate of Removal and a 10-year guarantee.

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.
