Many lenders and surveyors treat spray foam in a roof as a red flag, and a mortgage or a sale can stall on it until the foam is removed and the timbers inspected.
Foam sprayed onto the underside of the roof can trap moisture against the rafters and hide it, so decay goes unseen until it is serious.
Industry estimates put the number of UK homes with spray foam in the roof in the hundreds of thousands, many sold on advice that did not mention what a surveyor would later say.

Not every spray foam roof is a problem, and not every problem needs everything stripped. The survey comes first.
Softer, lighter and vapour permeable. It can usually be removed cleanly from the rafters, and the timbers beneath are more often sound.
Rigid and dense, bonded hard to the timber and the felt. Removal is slower and more careful, and the timbers need checking for trapped moisture as the foam comes off.
After removal we photograph every rafter and record moisture readings, then provide a written report you can give to your lender, surveyor or buyer confirming what was removed and the condition of the roof timbers.
Lenders set their own rules, but what they generally want is evidence: that the foam has been removed, that the timbers have been inspected and are sound, and who did it. Our post removal report gives them that.
Yes. Once the roof is clear and dry we can lay mineral wool between and over the ceiling joists to the current 270 mm standard, which is the approach lenders and surveyors expect to see.
One to three days for most houses, depending on the type of foam and the size of the roof. The survey gives you a firm figure.
