How we work

Assess first, remove only if it is needed.

Foam on a roof is not automatically a disaster. We find out what it is and how the timbers are doing, then tell you plainly what your options are.

Four ways to deal with spray foam in a roof, ranked by cost. The cheapest one is the one you choose.

✓ What that buys

Everything below is included. There is nothing else to pay.

  • An inspection of the whole roof space, wherever it can be reached
  • Foam type, thickness and coverage recorded, with moisture readings on visible timber
  • A written report with photos and locations, ready for a lender, buyer or solicitor
  • A clear condition rating for what we could see. The report is yours to keep
  • A straight answer on what, if anything, actually needs to come off

— What you never get

Not on the day, not on the invoice, not afterwards.

  • A call-out fee or a charge for the report
  • A price that moves once we have seen the loft
  • A removal quote you did not ask for
  • Any obligation to use us for the removal
  • A report we hold back or make you chase

The report records what we could see and what we could not, so nobody is guessing later. Take it to any contractor you like.

Stockton Heath's housing

Estate roofs were not designed for foam.

Stockton Heath is an affluent southern village with Victorian villas near the canal and larger homes beyond. Bigger roofs and older timbers make it worth knowing what foam sits on them. We assess the whole roof space and give a written recommendation.

Concrete tiles, trusses, battens and felt. The assessment shows how they are coping.

Also covering the rest of Warrington — same price, same service.

Questions we get asked

Our Victorian Stockton Heath roof has foam. Should we be worried?
Older timbers can be vulnerable to trapped damp, so we take moisture readings and record the findings.
Why is spray foam under a roof a problem?
Spray foam is applied to the underside of the roof covering. It bonds to tiles, slates, felt and timber, which can hide damp and decay and makes repairs difficult. Many lenders and surveyors treat it with caution, especially where it covers the roof timbers.
Will it stop me selling or getting a mortgage?
It can. Some lenders decline or ask for evidence, and buyers' surveyors often flag it. A written assessment of what is there and what condition it is in is usually what they ask for. What a particular lender will accept varies, so check with your broker.
What does an assessment involve?
An inspector goes into the roof space, records the foam type, thickness and coverage, takes moisture readings on visible timber, photographs what can be seen and notes what cannot be checked. You get a written report afterwards.
How long does it take?
Typically one to two hours in a Warrington roof space, with the report the next working day.
Do I have to remove it?
Not necessarily. It depends on the foam type, the condition of the timbers and what your lender or buyer will accept. The survey gives you evidence to decide.
Can you tell if the timbers are damaged?
Where timbers can be seen or reached we take moisture readings and record staining, softness and mould. Timber fully covered by foam cannot be checked without removing some of it, and the report says so.
What is the difference between open-cell and closed-cell foam?
Open-cell foam is soft and spongy and lets moisture pass through. Closed-cell foam is dense and sets hard. Both are used in roofs, and the type affects how it can be removed and how risky it is.

Get the foam checked before the survey does.

£195 fixed. Written report. Yours to keep.
