Spray foam removal in Wolverhampton: Open Cell Spray Foam Removed From Two Loft Areas and Bitumen Felt
In August 2026, EcoTrust Roofing & Insulation Ltd removed open cell spray foam from a house in Bilston, Wolverhampton, West Midlands: about 30m² over a bedroom and 45m² in the main loft, where it had been sprayed onto bitumen felt. The team treated the roof timbers and added a 100mm mineral wool top-up, with a Certificate of Removal and a 10-year guarantee.
The problem
Open cell spray foam had been sprayed into the roof in 2021. Our surveyor found about 30m² in the loft over a bedroom and 45m² in the main loft, where it had gone straight onto the old bitumen felt.
With foam covering the underside of the roof, the felt and timbers could not be checked, and many lenders and surveyors are cautious about spray foam for that reason. There was no loft light or ladder, and a roof extension made the bedroom loft trickier to work in.
What we did
- Free survey: measured about 30m² of foam in the bedroom loft and 45m² in the main loft, and noted the access.
- Brought our own ladders and lights, as there was no loft ladder or light.
- Removed the open cell foam from the rafters and the bitumen felt in both loft areas.
- Bagged all the removed foam and took it away.
- Treated the exposed roof timbers.
- Laid a 100mm top-up of mineral wool on the loft floor.
The result
The open cell spray foam is gone from both loft areas, so the bitumen felt and the rafters are on show again and can be inspected. The timbers have been treated and the loft floor has a 100mm mineral wool top-up.
The homeowner has a Certificate of Removal for the spray foam and the work is covered by EcoTrust's 10-year guarantee.
