Spray foam insulation isn't legally banned, but major mortgage lenders and surveyors flag it as high risk—making it nearly impossible to sell your home without removal.
Most major UK lenders won't approve mortgages on properties with spray foam insulation, drastically limiting your pool of potential buyers to cash only.
Spray foam covers roof timbers, preventing surveyors from inspecting for rot, insect damage, or structural issues—an automatic red flag in property surveys.
Spray foam can trap moisture between the foam and roof structure, leading to hidden rot, mould, and timber decay that worsens undetected over time.
Properties with spray foam sell for significantly less—often requiring huge discounts to attract cash buyers willing to take on the removal costs and risks.
Even when a buyer is interested, their surveyor or mortgage lender typically flags spray foam during the process—causing deals to fall through at the last minute.
Lenders worry about long-term structural damage they can't see. Without visibility of roof timbers, they can't assess the true condition of your property.

Spray foam covers roof timbers, preventing surveyors from inspecting for structural issues, rot, or insect damage. Most major UK lenders (including Nationwide, Halifax, and others) view this as high risk and refuse to provide mortgages. This severely limits your buyer pool to cash-only purchasers, dramatically reducing your property's value.
No, spray foam insulation is not illegal in the UK. However, it creates serious practical problems when selling. While you can legally have spray foam in your property, the mortgage lending restrictions make it nearly impossible to sell without accepting a massive discount or removing it entirely.
Professional spray foam removal typically costs £2,500-£8,000 depending on property size. However, properties with spray foam often sell for £30,000-£80,000 below market value to cash buyers. Removal costs represent just a fraction of the value you'll recover by making your property mortgage-eligible again.
Most spray foam removal projects take 1-3 days to complete, depending on property size and foam coverage. We provide same-week or next-week scheduling in most cases. After removal, you'll receive certification immediately, allowing your sale to proceed without further delays.
Our certified technicians use specialized techniques and equipment to carefully remove spray foam without damaging roof timbers. We've completed over 500 removals with zero structural damage claims. After removal, we inspect and photograph the timbers to document their condition for your surveyor.
We provide comprehensive removal certification that includes: confirmation of complete removal, photographic evidence of clean roof timbers, waste disposal certificates, and structural integrity verification. This documentation satisfies UK mortgage lenders and surveyors, removing the barrier to your property sale.
Yes, but cash buyers typically offer 20-30% below market value, knowing you're desperate to sell. On a £250,000 property, that's £50,000-£75,000 lost. Professional removal costs £2,500-£8,000, allowing you to access the full mortgage-backed buyer market and recover your property's true value. The choice is clear financially.
Not necessarily for the sale to proceed—removing the spray foam resolves the mortgage lending issue. However, many sellers choose to install traditional insulation (mineral wool) to maintain energy efficiency and property appeal. We can provide recommendations and quotes for proper replacement insulation if desired.
