Spray foam insulation removal specialists in Reading

Spray foam insulation regularly holds up sales and remortgages for Reading homeowners. Because it is applied directly to the roof, surveyors cannot inspect the rafters or confirm how the roof breathes.

When lenders cannot verify the roof structure, they often ask for the foam to be removed before a mortgage can proceed.

Reading has a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces across areas like Caversham, Tilehurst and Earley, alongside newer developments closer to the town centre and business parks. We remove the foam safely, restore the loft for inspection, and install breathable insulation that supports efficiency while letting the roof ventilate.

We are rated 5 / 5 - 'Excellent'

Highly recommended

An excellent upgrade to our bungalow loft insulation. Three men in loft over a day and a half removing 45 large bags of fibreglass and replacing with 300 ml of rock wool insulation.Very professional and clean working. Highly recommended.

Spot on

Very efficient about how the work was carried out; the original insulation removed a large area of boarded loft removed before overlaying the installation of the new insulation between joist. Finally ‘hoovered’ stairs and hallway. PS stairs were covered before commencement of work. Very pleased

We are very happy

Excellent service by Tom and Charlie, from quote (3 months ago) to completion today. (Our delay).
Good work in our loft, completed with care and clear information about what’s to be done and what has been done.

Tom and Charlie are good to work with, they get on with the job and take care of details as well.

They completed the work in less time than expected! We were all happy!

We were very impressed

We had Tom in to quote for insulating my dad's loft and he was very down to earth and thorough, the quote arrived quickly, was very reasonable and we settled on a date around 3 weeks later.

The quality of Toms workmanship was very good, the roof space is exactly as he said it would be and everything was disposed of correctly and left clean and tidy as if no one had even been in. We even received a folder with all the details in it upon completion. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom to anyone and we were very impressed with the service we received.

Exceptional

Tom and his team were nothing but exceptional. From his initial visit to quote, he was insightful and helpful in laying out the various insulation and installation options. In the end we requested, the removal of insulation, new insulation installed, boarded loft space and a larger loft hatch. He arrived on time, installed in his said time estimate and left each of the two days he was here with an immaculate home. There was no mess, whatsoever. He prepped beforehand each day laying down protective materials on carpets etc. Would recommend and use again.

Spray foam removal Reading FAQs

Why is spray foam a problem during a Reading property survey?

The foam is bonded to the roof and blocks the surveyor's view of the timbers and ventilation. Many lenders then require it to be removed before a mortgage can proceed.

What insulation goes back in after removal?

We install breathable mineral wool insulation once the foam is cleared, restoring thermal performance while allowing the roof to ventilate.

How long does the removal take?

Most Reading projects are completed within a few days, depending on the size of the loft and the amount of foam present.

Is spray foam common in Reading's older terraces?

Yes. Reading has a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many fitted with foam through cold-call schemes, and these are exactly the properties where surveyors raise concerns.
