Let us deal with the Situation
Which Type of Spray Foam Insulation Is in Your Roof?
Successfully removing spray foam insulation starts with knowing exactly what type of foam you’re dealing with. Use our simple guide below to identify your insulation by its key features and appearance. If you’re unsure or struggling to tell the difference, don’t worry, our expert team is always here to help. We offer open cell spray foam insulation removal services and closed cell spray foam insulation removal services. You can also book a free, no-obligation survey, and we’ll inspect your property to confirm the insulation type and recommend the safest removal approach.
Open-Cell Spray FOAM INSULATION
- Light and airy texture
- Typically applied at around 100mm thickness
- Soft enough to tear or rip easily by hand
Closed-Cell SPRAY Foam INSULATION
- Dense, rigid, and highly durable insulation
- Usually applied in thinner layers, sometimes as little as 25mm
- Strongly bonded to surfaces and requires specialist tools for safe removal
Why Spray Foam Insulation Is a Problem for Mortgage Lenders?
Spray foam insulation can cause serious issues when it comes to property lending. By sealing the roof space too tightly, it restricts airflow around the timbers and under the roof covering. Over time, this trapped moisture can lead to condensation build-up, eventually causing timber decay and weakening the roof structure.
Closed-cell spray foam poses an even greater concern, it hardens rigidly against the roof timbers, placing unnecessary pressure on the structure and sometimes leading to warping or distortion. For mortgage lenders considering long-term investments, these risks raise major red flags.
Removing spray foam can also be complex and costly. The material seeps deep into joints and gaps, making full removal a time-consuming process. Even once professionally removed, some lenders may still request further inspections or reports before approving a mortgage, highlighting just how seriously they take the potential damage caused by spray foam insulation.
Dry Ice Blasting – The Best & Effective Solution for Spray Foam Removal
Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal uses latest dry ice blasting technology to safely and efficiently remove spray foam insulation from roofs, lofts and hard-to-reach areas. Unlike traditional methods that rely on harsh chemicals or manual scraping, dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, mess-free and environmentally friendly.
By propelling dry ice pellets at high speed, the foam insulation is rapidly frozen, making it brittle and easy to dislodge. The dry ice then sublimates, turning from solid to gas, leaving no secondary waste behind. This creates a clean, precise and damage-free removal process that protects your property.
If your spray foam insulation is causing mortgage issues, ventilation problems or structural risks, our dry ice blasting spray foam insulation removal service is the ideal solution. This advanced technique removes insulation completely without damaging roof timbers, metal surfaces or electrical components.

Emile K.FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
We carefully inspect ceilings from below and document their condition with photographs before accessing the loft. In the unlikely event of accidental damage, the company takes full responsibility and arranges immediate repairs, ensuring all work is carried out professionally and safely.
The absence of felt under spray foam does not affect the removal process. Our primary goal is to expose and inspect the wooden roof structure (timbers), so work proceeds safely even without underlying felt.
Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal inspects the roof inside and out before work begins to minimise the risk of damage. If the felt becomes damaged during removal, the team repairs or replaces it as needed to maintain the integrity of the roof.
Many mortgage lenders are cautious about properties containing spray foam insulation. Spray foam can trap moisture against wooden beams, increasing the risk of rot, and there are also concerns about fire resistance and improper installation. We advise clients that even after removal some lenders may remain cautious, which can affect mortgage approvals.
All removed foam and debris are collected and disposed of responsibly by Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal team at licensed and regulated waste centres. No extra arrangements are required by the homeowner.
The duration of the spray foam insulation removal process depends on the size and layout of the property. As a guide, our team typically needs around three days to remove spray foam insulation from a three-bedroom semi-detached home.
Any damaged or rotten timber found during the process is photographed and shared with the homeowner. Our roof insulation removal experts arrange repairs, with approval, to ensure the roof remains safe and structurally sound.
Our spray foam removal professionals use satellite imagery and specialist measurement software to prepare accurate quotes without the need for an on-site visit. Because the spray foam must be removed before the roof timbers can be fully inspected, a pre-visit is typically unnecessary.
The temperature inside a property rarely changes dramatically after removal. Our team at Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal ensures that, once breathable, approved insulation such as mineral wool is installed, airflow improves, dampness is reduced, and the home feels fresher and healthier overall.
Replacement insulation is not always required. Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal advises homeowners individually, if the spray foam has been causing moisture issues, poor airflow, or maintenance problems, a suitable approved alternative may be recommended. For homeowners selling or applying for equity release, replacement insulation is usually optional.
