Safe, thorough open and closed cell spray foam removal across Yorkshire, including certificates for mortgage applications and new insulation relay where needed.
Spray foam insulation can reduce ventilation and trap moisture between the foam and any timber, increasing the chances that joists and rafters will rot. The presence of spray foam insulation can make it impossible for surveyors to inspect the condition of a roof..
In addition, many mortgage lenders are reluctant to approve loans on properties with spray foam insulation installed, particularly when it has been applied directly to the underside of the roof. This can significantly limit the pool of potential buyers and, in some cases, make the property effectively unmortgageable. As a result, homeowners may struggle to sell their property or achieve its full market value.
Spray foam removal is often recommended to resolve these issues, but it can be a complex, time-consuming, and costly process. Removal typically involves carefully stripping the foam from roof timbers without causing further damage. Once completed all timbers need to be sanded down.
We work carefully and cleanly - because spray foam removal needs to be done properly to satisfy lenders and protect your property.
