Why Professional Spray Foam Removal is Essential for Your Roof's Long-Term Health

Attempting to remove spray foam yourself is risky and can cause further damage to your roof structure. Incorrect removal can compromise the integrity of your roof, leading to costly repairs down the line. The foam, particularly if it's closed-cell, adheres strongly to roofing components, and pulling it away incorrectly can damage battens and even slates or tiles from the inside. Our specialised team recognises the complexities involved. We carefully assess the type of foam and its impact, developing a precise removal strategy that safeguards your roof's ventilation, breathability, and overall structural health. Removing it professionally is an investment in your home's future, preventing damp, rot, and maintaining its value.

Celia Bennett

"Reliable and prompt - the Kevington team was able to view the property and provide options and transparent, itemised quotes on the same day I called. After deciding what level of work I wanted done, they returned soon after to carry out the roof repairs to a high standard without me even needing to be there."

Philip Day

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more. When they had finished they cleaned up that well, even took some of my own rubbish away for me. Well done lads! Not often you get a good, honest local roofer anymore! Thanks again."

Spray Foam Removal FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about extracting problematic spray foam insulation from your loft? Read our expert answers to common queries from homeowners across Ramsden, Bromley, and Croydon & South London.

Why choose a drone survey?

Safety first: No one needs to climb on your roof for the initial check.
Save money: It is much cheaper than hiring scaffolding just for an inspection.
Precision: We can zoom in on cracked tiles or failed mortar joints that are invisible from the street.
Insurance proof: You get a full report with annotated images, which is perfect for insurance claims or negotiating a house price.

Why is spray foam insulation a problem for my mortgage?

Lenders are worried that the foam hides the condition of the roof timbers and prevents them from "breathing." Because they cannot see if the wood is rotting or if there are leaks, many banks will simply refuse a mortgage until the foam is professionally removed.

What is the difference between open cell and closed cell foam?

Open cell foam is softer and more flexible, while closed cell foam sets very hard. Both can cause issues. Closed cell foam is particularly tricky because it can put stress on the roof structure and is much harder to remove without damaging the timber.

How do you remove the foam without damaging the roof?

Our team uses specialist tools to manually and mechanically extract the foam from between the rafters. We take great care to ensure the roof health is maintained and that the timber is cleaned up properly so it can be inspected by a surveyor.

Will removing spray foam improve my property value?

Yes. In the current market, a house with spray foam is often seen as a liability. Removing it and replacing it with standard, breathable loft insulation can make the property sellable again and protects the long-term integrity of your roof.

Can I remove spray foam insulation myself?

We really wouldn't recommend it. It is a messy, difficult job that requires specialist breathing equipment and an understanding of roof structures. Doing it wrong can damage your roof tiles or the rafters themselves.
