Before you ask
Questions people ask
I am buying a house in Kempston with spray foam. Can you quote before I exchange?
Yes, with the seller's permission to access the loft. We look at the foam and give you a written quote so you know the cost before you commit.
Is closed-cell foam harder to remove?
Yes. It sets hard and bonds to the timber and tiles, so it takes longer than open-cell foam. We tell you which type you have at the survey.
Will I need a new roof once the foam is out?
Not necessarily. Often the roof underneath is fine. If the foam has damaged the felt or timber, we show you the photos and quote any repair separately.
Ready when you are
It takes about 30 seconds to ask, and you are not committing to anything.
More about spray foam removal in Kempston
Three reasons Kempston homeowners call us
You are selling and the buyer's survey flagged it
Many surveyors and lenders are wary of spray foam because it hides the rafters and the underside of the roof. A sale can stall until it is dealt with. We have removed foam for a customer whose sale was blocked by it, and the surveyor who came afterwards commented on the quality of the work.
You are buying and want to know what is involved
If the house you want in Kempston has spray foam, it helps to know what removal involves before you exchange. We can look at the loft and give you a written quote, so the cost is out in the open.
The foam was mis-sold, or someone left the job half done
We have put right spray foam that was mis-sold to homeowners, and we have finished off removals that another firm left half done. If you are not sure what was put in your loft or why, we will look and explain.
Open-cell and closed-cell
Spray foam comes in two broad types. Open-cell foam is soft and spongy. Closed-cell foam sets hard and bonds tightly to the timber and the back of the tiles, which makes it slower to remove. We have removed closed-cell foam from homes in the villages around Bedford, MK43, and we tell you which type you have at the survey.
What happens on the day
- Floors and the loft hatch are protected
- Solar panels, if you have them, are disconnected by an electrician we arrange
- The foam is cut and scraped away from the rafters by hand
- Everything is bagged and taken away with us
- The loft is cleaned out, not just swept
What you get at the end
- A clear loft with the roof timbers visible again
- Photos of the rafters and felt for your surveyor, lender or buyer
- An honest note of anything the foam has left behind, such as damaged felt or damp timber
If repairs are needed after the foam is out, they are quoted separately in writing, and you decide what happens next. Ring 01234 634 016 to book a look.
