If your home’s tiled roof has been treated with spray foam insulation, you’re right to take action. While spray foam was once promoted as a quick fix for energy efficiency, it can actually trap moisture beneath your roof covering, leading to long-term issues such as timber decay and ventilation loss.
Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal are experts in the safe and efficient removal of spray foam from tile roofs, restoring your roof’s natural ventilation and helping you regain full mortgage eligibility.
Our experienced technicians understand how to work with tiled roof structures, carefully lifting and cleaning beneath rafters without disturbing your tiles or underlay. Every project is carried out with precision tools and proven non-destructive techniques to keep your property protected.
Why Tile Roof Spray Foam Insulation Can Be a Problem?
Spray foam insulation was once marketed as a quick and effective way to improve energy efficiency. However, when applied beneath a tiled roof, it can create a range of serious structural and ventilation issues that often go unnoticed until costly damage occurs. Tile roofs rely on natural airflow and moisture control — two things that spray foam can completely block.
Below are the main reasons why spray foam insulation can cause problems for tiled roofs:
A False Promise of Energy Efficiency
Spray foam insulation was once promoted as an affordable way to improve home energy performance. But when applied beneath tiled roofs, it often traps problems instead of heat. What seems like a quick energy upgrade can lead to serious moisture and ventilation issues within your roof structure.
Trapped Moisture and Condensation
Because spray foam seals tightly against roof tiles and underlay, it stops your roof from breathing. Warm indoor air naturally rises into the loft and meets cooler tile surfaces — without ventilation, this creates condensation that soaks into rafters and sarking boards. Over time, this trapped damp leads to mould growth, timber decay, and weakened roof structures.
Adheres Tightly to Tiles
Spray foam bonds firmly to the underside of roof tiles, making it extremely difficult to access or repair the roof once applied. Any future maintenance — from fixing a broken tile to re-roofing — becomes costly and time-consuming, as sections of the roof may need to be dismantled for safe removal.
Mortgage and Insurance Complications
Mortgage lenders and insurers across the UK are increasingly rejecting properties that contain spray foam insulation on tiled roofs. The foam hides the true condition of the rafters and underlay, preventing accurate roof inspections. Surveyors often mark it as a major defect, leading to loan refusals, insurance issues, or reduced property value.
The Only Lasting Solution
The only effective way to restore your roof’s integrity and protect your investment is professional spray foam removal. By clearing the foam and allowing the structure to breathe again, you’ll prevent further damage, improve ventilation, and restore full compliance with lender and surveyor standards.
Our Tile Roof Spray Foam Removal Process
Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal uses specialist techniques designed for tiled roof structures to ensure safe, effective, and non-destructive foam removal.
1. Initial Roof Inspection
We begin with a detailed assessment of your loft or roof space to identify foam type (open-cell or closed-cell) and its extent of coverage beneath your tiles.
2. Careful Manual Removal
Our experts gently detach the spray foam from rafters and underlay, working section by section to protect your tiles and preserve roof structure integrity.
3. Dry Ice Blasting (When Required)
For closed-cell spray foam or extensive build-up, we use dry ice blasting — a modern, residue-free method that cleans without moisture or abrasion, ensuring no damage to timber or tile fixtures.
4. Full Clean-Up & Inspection
After removal, we clean the area thoroughly, check for signs of damp or rot, and confirm that your roof is fully ventilated and structurally sound.
Benefits of Removing Spray Foam from Tile Roofs
Removing spray foam professionally helps safeguard your home’s structure and value. With Elite Spray Foam Insulation Removal, you’ll benefit from:
Restored Roof Ventilation and Breathability
When spray foam is removed professionally, your tiled roof can breathe again. Proper airflow prevents heat build-up and condensation, helping to maintain a healthy balance of temperature and moisture throughout the roof space. This also supports better energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
Elimination of Trapped Moisture and Condensation
Removing the foam clears the path for natural ventilation, allowing any lingering moisture to escape safely. This prevents the cycle of damp and mould that can quietly damage rafters, underlay, and insulation materials over time.
Prevention of Timber Decay and Rot
Spray foam often traps damp against timber rafters, accelerating decay. By removing it, you stop ongoing moisture damage, protect your timber structure, and extend the lifespan of your roof — saving you from costly structural repairs later.
Compliance with Mortgage and Surveyor Requirements
Mortgage lenders and surveyors expect a roof to be breathable and fully inspectable. Once spray foam is removed, your roof meets these standards again, making it easier to sell, refinance, or insure your home without red flags or restrictions.
A Healthier, Safer, More Efficient Home
A breathable roof means a drier, healthier home. Without trapped moisture or hidden decay, your living space stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, improving comfort and reducing energy waste.
