Why Spray Foam Removal Is Essential for UK Homeowners in 2025!

 Over the past decade, spray foam insulation gained popularity across the UK for its energy efficiency and airtight seal. However, many homeowners are now facing unexpected issues—ranging from mortgage refusals to moisture problems—which have sparked a rise in demand for spray foam removal services.

While spray foam can offer initial benefits like improved insulation and reduced heating bills, the long-term implications can be far more damaging. In properties where foam was improperly installed or used in inappropriate locations (such as under roof tiles or in unventilated lofts), the insulation can trap moisture, leading to timber decay, mould growth, and even structural damage. This is especially problematic in older UK homes with traditional breathable building materials.

Mortgage lenders have also become increasingly cautious. Many now refuse to offer financing or approve home sales if spray foam insulation is present—particularly in the roof. This has left many homeowners stuck, unable to refinance or sell until spray foam insulation removal is completed by a professional.
