Did you Know?
Spray foam can conceal the roof structure, limit ventilation, and make it harder for a surveyor or lender to assess the condition of the loft. A professional removal survey documents what is present, what needs attention, and the evidence you will receive once the work is complete.

Most lenders now refuse properties with spray-foam insulation. We remove it safely, restore ventilation, and issue a Mortgage Approval Pack (photos, moisture/vent checks, waste notes) so your surveyor can sign off.

Does This Sound Familiar?
If Any of This Applies to You - You're in the Right Place.
These aren't rare edge cases. They're why EcoTrust exists.
A refused mortgage can put an agreed sale at risk and leave you under pressure to find a solution quickly. We assess the foam, explain the practical route to removal, and provide the documentation your buyer, surveyor, and lender need to move forward.
When spray foam appears in a survey, it often raises concerns about roof ventilation, hidden timbers, and lending. We carry out a clear assessment and explain what needs to happen to help resolve the issue before it costs you the sale.
Being unable to remortgage can feel like being stuck in your own home. A professional survey identifies the condition of the foam and roof space, then sets out the steps needed to remove the barrier with evidence you can share with your lender.
Damp, condensation, or changes to the roof space should never be ignored. We inspect the area carefully, identify what may be contributing to the problem, and explain the safest remediation options before any work begins.
Many homeowners were assured spray foam would improve their property, only to face a difficult sale or remortgage later. You deserve a straightforward assessment, a realistic plan, and clear documentation—not more uncertainty.

What affects the final cost?
Your exact quote depends on the total m² of the roof, safe access points, and the condition of the roof felt and underlying timbers. These figures are a general guide only—book a free inspection for a clear, property-specific quote.
LENDER-READY DOCUMENTATION
What is a Certificate of Removal?
A Certificate of Removal Report is a clear, lender-ready record of the spray foam removal work completed at your property. It gives your mortgage lender, surveyor, or buyer’s solicitor the evidence they need to understand what was removed, how the work was carried out, and the condition of the roof space afterwards.
What’s inside the pack
• Before-and-after photographic evidence
• A record of the removal work completed
• Roof-space, moisture, and ventilation observations
• Waste transfer documentation
• A clear remediation report for lenders and surveyors
ADDED PEACE OF MIND
10-year workmanship guarantee
Every spray foam removal is backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee, so you have long-term reassurance that the work has been completed properly and is supported after the job is finished.
EPC & SURVEYOR GUIDANCE
Spray foam and your EPC rating — why surveyors can’t assess through foam
Spray foam can obscure roof timbers, felt, ventilation paths, and the existing insulation build-up. When a surveyor cannot see these elements clearly, they may be unable to assess the roof space accurately or verify the evidence needed for an EPC assessment.
What surveyors need to assess
• Roof timbers and felt condition
• Ventilation routes at the eaves
• The type, thickness, and placement of insulation
• Signs of moisture, condensation, or existing damage
Foam bonded directly to the roof can make these details difficult to inspect and document.
CLEARER EVIDENCE
Removal helps restore a clear view
Professional removal exposes the roof space for inspection again. Combined with clear photographs and a remediation report, it gives surveyors and EPC assessors better evidence to assess the property on its actual condition—without promising a specific EPC outcome.
KNOW WHAT’S IN YOUR LOFT
Open-cell vs closed-cell spray foam
Both types can obscure the roof structure, but their texture, bonding strength, and removal requirements are different. A professional survey identifies the material in your loft and the safest route forward.
Open-cell foam
Usually softer and more flexible, open-cell foam expands into gaps and around roof timbers. It may be easier to remove mechanically, but still needs careful work to expose the roof space properly.
Closed-cell foam
Dense and rigid, closed-cell foam often bonds more firmly to the roof structure. Its removal can be more involved, which is why an in-person assessment is essential before any quote or remediation plan.
The Spray Foam Market Has a Trust Problem. We're the Answer to It.
We started EcoTrust because we kept seeing homeowners get burned twice — once by the installer, once by a bodge removal job. We decided to do it properly

In most cases, yes. Once the spray foam is professionally removed and we provide our remediation report, most major lenders will reassess the property. We'll tell you what to expect before we start — including if there are any complications specific to your property.
Most residential removals take one to three days, depending on the property size and type of spray foam. We'll give you a clear timeline at your survey.
Fair question. The market makes it a reasonable one. We're happy to share our insurance documentation, company registration details, and references from previous jobs before you commit to anything. Ask us.
When done correctly, no. Spray foam removal requires care particularly around roof timbers. Our team is trained specifically for this. We'll inspect your roof structure as part of the survey and flag anything that needs attention.
We'll identify any structural or timber issues during the survey and advise on remediation options. We'd rather tell you upfront than surprise you later.
