While spray foam was once marketed as a miracle energy saver, it has become a nightmare for many property owners. In high-value areas like Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, and Knutsford, homeowners are discovering that this insulation can have devastating side effects:
Mortgage Refusals: Many UK lenders now refuse to provide mortgages or equity release on properties with spray foam insulation, as it prevents them from inspecting the condition of the roof timbers.
Timber Rot: Closed-cell foam often traps moisture against the wooden rafters. Without air circulation, the wood begins to sweat and rot, leading to massive structural repair bills.
Fire Hazards: Some older foam installations do not meet modern fire safety standards, posing a risk to your family and significantly increasing insurance premiums.
At Roofing Pro, we specialize in the meticulous removal of both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam, restoring the breathability of your roof and the "saleability" of your home.

Manchester Heritage, Cheshire Standards: We bring 15 years of hardcore roofing experience from Manchester to the homes of Cheshire. We know how these roofs were built, and we know how to fix them.
Transparency First: James will provide you with a full photographic report of the removal process. This documentation is essential to show mortgage lenders and surveyors that the foam has been successfully removed and the timbers are sound.
Altrincham-Based: We are local. We understand the heritage properties of Hale, Bowdon, and Great Budworth, ensuring that even the oldest roofs are handled with the care they deserve.
Yes. In the vast majority of cases, once the foam is removed and a professional roofing contractor (like Roofing Pro) certifies that the timbers are in good condition, lenders will proceed with mortgages or equity release. We provide the documentation you need to satisfy surveyors.
It depends on the size of the roof and the type of foam (closed-cell is much harder to remove than open-cell). On average, a standard Cheshire semi-detached home takes 3 to 5 working days for a complete, clean removal.
We strongly advise against it. Spray foam can release toxic dust when cut, and it is incredibly easy to accidentally damage the roof felt or the structural rafters. Professional removal ensures the safety of both you and your property.
It is a dusty process, but we take extensive measures to protect your home. We use heavy-duty floor coverings and seal off the loft hatch during the work. Our "Zero-Mess Guarantee" means we leave your home spotless.
Costs vary based on the thickness of the foam and the access to the eaves. Generally, removal is more expensive than the original installation because of the labor-intensive nature of the work. We provide free, fixed-price quotes after an initial inspection.
