The work

Spray Foam Removal for Twickenham homes

Twickenham is a short run for us, so a look at a spray foam removal job here is a visit rather than a day of travel priced into the quote. We work across TW1 and out into Richmond, St Margarets, Teddington, Hampton, Isleworth.

Spray foam was sold as insulation, but sprayed against the underside of a tiled or slated roof it does two harmful things. It seals the ventilation path, so moisture that used to escape now condenses in the timbers, and it hides the rafters and battens so nobody can see their condition.

That is why many lenders and surveyors treat a foamed roof as a problem to be resolved before a sale or a remortgage. Removal is a dirty, slow job done properly: strip the foam, clean the timbers back, and then tell you honestly what state the roof is in.

The price

Spray Foam Removal costs

What spray foam removal costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

Questions

Spray Foam Removal in Twickenham: common questions

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

Why do lenders object to spray foam?

Because it prevents the roof structure being inspected and can trap moisture against the timbers. A valuer who cannot see the rafters cannot sign the roof off, which is what causes the problem on a sale or a remortgage.

Can all of it be removed?

Open-cell foam comes off reasonably cleanly. Closed-cell foam bonds hard, and some staining or residue can remain on the timber even after a thorough strip. We will tell you what to expect after looking at yours.

Will I need a new roof afterwards?

Sometimes. If the felt was already perished or the foam was sprayed straight to the tiles, re-felting or re-roofing follows. Often the timbers are sound and the roof only needs ventilation restoring. The report tells you which.

How long does removal take?

A typical semi-detached loft is two to four days depending on the thickness of the foam and how much of the roof it covers. Closed-cell foam takes longer than open-cell because it has to be cut rather than pulled.

Will removing it damage the roof?

The aim is the opposite: removal is what lets the roof be inspected and ventilated again. Felt that has been sprayed over does sometimes tear as the foam comes off, and where that happens we show you and quote re-felting separately.
