Spray foam removal in Shurdington Gloucestershire done properly

Musty smell in the loft or upstairs rooms

That smell is usually damp timber. Spray foam traps moisture against the rafters, and without ventilation the wood stays wet. Left alone, rot sets in and spreads. A moisture meter reading will tell you how far it has gone, and removal stops it getting worse.

Mortgage valuation refused because of foam

Lenders have become much stricter about spray foam, especially closed cell. If your surveyor has flagged it, the sale or remortgage will not proceed until it is removed and documented. We can produce the report your lender needs and schedule the work around your timeline.

Condensation on roof timbers or felt

Foam sprayed over the felt or between rafters blocks the ventilation gap at the eaves. Moisture then condenses on the cold surfaces and drips onto the insulation below. Clearing the foam and reopening the airflow is the only permanent fix.

Visible dark patches or soft spots on rafters

Dark staining and soft timber mean rot is already present. The longer foam stays in place, the further it spreads along the rafters and into the roof structure. We check with a boroscope and treat any affected timber before the loft is reinsulated.

Foam has spread over cables, pipes or downlights

Spray foam often gets applied over wiring and recessed lights, which traps heat and can damage cable insulation. It also makes future electrical work difficult. Removal gives you back a safe, accessible loft and lets an electrician inspect the wiring properly.
