Can’t Sell Your Home Due to Spray Foam Insulation?
The presence of spray foam within a loft space can affect buyers obtaining a mortgage rendering a property valueless and impacting the resale prospects of the property. This is because spray foam insulation seals the roof space and restricts the airflow to the roof and timbers leading to condensation and potential rotting of the roof supports.
Mortgage lenders need to assess the condition of the roof and timbers before proceeding and our dry ice blasting effectively removes the spray foam allowing them to freely inspect the condition of the roof timbers and the potential hazards for future buyers are eliminated.

Local Approved Spray Foam Insulation Removal
As a family run business with over 30 years of experience, our dry ice blasting process quickly and efficiently removes more foam than any other method saving time and money.
Dry ice blasting removes contaminants by thermal shock meaning the spray foam comes off in large chunks eliminating the traditional scraping method. It leaves no secondary waste and removes spray foam insulation without causing any pitting or damage to any roof tiles or timbers.

FAQs - Spray Foam Removal
Yes, it is true. Some lenders won’t give a mortgage on a property with spray foam insulation in the loft. This is due to:
- The spray foam insulation sealing the roof space and reducing the air circulation to the roof timbers. This could lead to condensation and potential rot.
- The spray foam insulation sets very hard and can add additional stresses to the roof timbers potentially causing distortions.
But even after the removal, there may still be some lenders that refuse to offer a mortgage due to a view that the damage may already be done.
- Many surveyors will down-value properties that have this kind of insulation.
- Some lenders won’t give you a mortgage on a property with spray foam insulation applied to the loft or roof.
- Spray foam can contribute towards condensation and damp which can, in turn cause your roof timbers to decay.
- It can be difficult to decorate over.
- Spray foam should not be used on listed properties.
- It can make it hard to carry out roof repairs such as replacing broken tiles or fixing roof leaks.
- If it’s not applied properly, it could risk damaging the structure of your property.
- It could be covering up other damage.
Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a liquid foam that’s sprayed into place before expanding and hardening into an insulating layer. There are two main types of spray foam:
- Closed cell – this is a very good insulator but is a barrier to moisture and can reduce ventilation to the roof area.
- Open cell – this is less dense, flexible and breathable. A thicker layer is needed to provide the same level of insulation.
We wouldn’t recommend it. Not only could you damage tiles, electrics and other materials, but some types of spray foam are toxic to touch or breathe in. due to the way its applied, it can be very difficult to remove effectively.
