Spray Foam Removal · Sheffield
In July 2026 our team removed 40m² of open cell spray foam from a converted loft in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The foam had been put in about five years earlier and the owner was selling. We stripped out the inside of the loft room, took the foam back to the original timbers, fitted new insulation and lined the ceiling again. The work took 3 days.

The loft had been converted into a room, and open cell spray foam had been sprayed under the roof about five years before. The owner was selling. Many lenders and surveyors are cautious about spray foam because it hides the roof timbers, so they can't check their condition.
Because the room was lined, the foam could not be reached from inside without first taking the lining down.
The foam is gone and the roof timbers have been seen and cleared, as the before and after photos show. The room was then insulated and lined again, so the owner still has a usable loft room.
If your loft has been converted, you can't see the underside of the roof from inside the room. Check any paperwork from when the conversion or insulation was done. If it mentions sprayed insulation, get advice before you sell, rather than waiting for a buyer's survey to find it.
Yes. On this Sheffield job we took down the inside lining of the loft room first, removed 40m² of open cell foam, then fitted new insulation and lined the ceiling again.
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.
Stripping out, removing 40m² of foam and putting the room back together took our team 3 days.

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.
