Sprayfoam Removal Services in Gloucester

Spray foam insulation applied to the underside of a roof can cause problems further down the line, from trapped moisture and timber decay to mortgage lenders and insurers refusing cover until it's removed. TB Rooflines removes old spray foam from roof timbers and coverings, and can advise on the condition of the roof once it's exposed. This is a common job for homeowners who've hit a wall trying to sell or remortgage a property with foam in the loft.

The process

How It Works

  1. 1

    Initial Inspection

    TB Rooflines looks at the loft to see how the foam was applied, how extensive it is, and get a sense of what's underneath it.

  2. 2

    Quote

    A written quote covers the scope of the removal based on the initial look at how the foam was applied.

  3. 3

    Removal

    The foam is carefully removed from timbers and roof covering, working methodically across the roof space.

  4. 4

    Assessing What's Underneath

    Once exposed, the timbers and roof covering are checked for damp, rot or damage that may have been hidden by the foam.

  5. 5

    Repairs and Report

    Any necessary repairs are discussed and carried out, and you're given a clear picture of the roof's condition for your records, surveyor or lender.

  6. 6

    Removed foam and any waste material is cleared from site and disposed of properly.

FAQ

Common Questions

Why do mortgage lenders have a problem with spray foam?

Foam applied directly to the underside of roof coverings can trap moisture against timbers, hide leaks and make it hard for a surveyor to assess the roof's condition, which is why many lenders ask for it to be removed before they'll lend.

Will removing the foam damage my roof?

Removal is done carefully, but the condition of the roof underneath depends on what's happened while the foam was in place. TB Rooflines will give you an honest assessment once it's exposed.

What happens if there's damage under the foam?

It's fairly common to find some timber or covering damage once foam is removed, particularly if moisture has been trapped. Any repairs needed can be quoted and carried out alongside the removal work.

Do you provide anything for my mortgage lender or surveyor?

TB Rooflines can give you a clear description of the work carried out and the condition found, which you can pass on to your surveyor or lender as needed.
