Why Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation Can Be a Problem?
Closed cell spray foam has a dense structure that creates an airtight seal. While this may sound beneficial, the material’s rigidity and impermeability can trap moisture and conceal damage within the roof structure.
If you’re selling your home, applying for a mortgage, or simply want to protect your property’s integrity, professional closed cell spray foam removal is essential.
Over time, homeowners may face problems such as:
Trapped Moisture
The foam prevents your roof timbers from “breathing”, increasing the risk of damp and rot.
Hidden Structural Damage
Foam adhesion can conceal cracks, leaks, or decaying wood.
Mortgage or Insurance Rejection
Agents and lenders refuse mortgages until spray foam is professionally removed.
Roof Ventilation Issues
Airflow is restricted, leading to condensation and long-term roof deterioration.
Reduced Property Value
Surveyors often flag spray foam as a major defect during property inspections.
Our Proven Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation Removal Process
Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal, uses a methodical, safe, and efficient process to remove closed cell spray foam without damaging your roof or timbers. Our approach combines manual removal with dry ice blasting, ensuring a clean, thorough finish.

We begin with a full inspection of your loft or roof to assess the condition, foam type, and coverage area. You’ll receive a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the full scope of work and expected timescale.
2. Controlled Removal
Closed cell foam bonds tightly to roof timbers. Our technicians carefully remove it using specialist tools, ensuring the structural integrity of your property remains intact.
3. Dry Ice Blasting (If Needed):
Where foam residue remains, we apply eco-friendly dry ice blasting, which cleans the surface safely and effectively without chemicals, water, or abrasion.
4. Roof Cleaning & Final Inspection
We clean all surfaces, remove debris, and carry out a full inspection to ensure your roof is completely clear and ready for inspection or re-insulation.
5. Mortgage & Surveyor Compliance
Once complete, your roof structure will meet the ventilation and inspection standards required by lenders, surveyors, and insurers.
Common Signs You Need Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation Removal
Closed cell spray foam insulation may look solid and protective, but over time it can create serious hidden problems in your roof. If you notice any of the following signs, it’s worth having your loft or attic inspected by Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal:
Roof Timbers Showing Signs of Rot or Decay
Many UK lenders now decline mortgages on homes with closed cell spray foam because it hides potential roof damage. If your sale or remortgage has been put on hold, professional removal is often the only solution.
Surveyor or Mortgage Refusal
Open cell foam can trap moisture against the roof timbers, leading to damp patches, mould, or a musty smell in the loft. Left untreated, this can cause long-term structural damage.
Cracking, Bulging, or Separation in the Foam
When closed cell foam hardens and expands unevenly, it can crack or pull away from the roof structure, leaving gaps that allow moisture to creep in. These visible defects usually indicate underlying damage.
Poor Ventilation or Condensation in the Loft
Because closed cell spray foam seals the roof so tightly, it often blocks natural airflow. You might notice condensation on roof boards or damp smells in your loft, both warning signs of trapped moisture.
Difficulty Carrying Out Roof Repairs
Closed cell foam bonds firmly to the roof, making it nearly impossible to access the felt or timbers underneath. If your roofer has said repairs can’t be done until the foam is removed, it’s time to act.
