Spray foam in your roof space? You are not alone
Spray foam insulation was widely fitted across Norfolk and the East of England during the 2000s and early 2010s, often under government-backed schemes. At the time it seemed like a straightforward way to cut heating bills. The problem is that many lenders now refuse to grant or transfer a mortgage on a property where spray foam has been applied to the rafters, because it can mask timber decay and prevent the roof from breathing properly. If a surveyor has flagged this in your Acle home, a sale can stall or fall through entirely.
Our team travels from Dersingham, where our showroom and head office are based, to homes across Broadland and the wider East of England every week. We understand how stressful the situation feels, and our job is to sort it out cleanly and quickly so you can move forward with your sale, remortgage, or equity release.
Can spray foam actually be removed?
Yes, in almost all cases it can. The process is more labour-intensive than many homeowners expect, which is why costs vary depending on the type of foam fitted and the size of the roof space. Open-cell foam is softer and generally quicker to extract. Closed-cell foam is denser and bonds more firmly to the rafters, so it takes longer and requires more care. In both cases we work entirely by hand, without power tools against the timber, to avoid damaging the rafters beneath.
Once the foam is out, we inspect the timbers for any moisture damage that may have been hidden underneath and restore the ventilation pathways between rafters so your roof space can breathe as it should. We can provide a written report for your solicitor or mortgage lender on completion, which is often what is needed to satisfy the surveyor's flag and get the sale moving again.
Common spray foam removal work we carry out in Acle and Broadland
- Open-cell foam extraction: careful hand removal of the softer, spongy foam type most commonly fitted to rafter undersides in Norfolk homes.
- Closed-cell foam removal: methodical extraction of the denser, rigid foam, preserving timber integrity throughout.
- Timber inspection and report: post-removal check for rot, splits or moisture damage, with a written summary you can pass to your lender.
- Ventilation reinstatement: restoring correct airflow between rafters so the roof space meets current standards.
- Pre-sale clearance: full removal and documentation ahead of a house sale or remortgage, timed to fit your conveyancing schedule.
- Partial extraction: where only a section of the roof space was treated, we remove just the affected area and leave the rest undisturbed.
Acle and the surrounding Broadland area
Acle sits at the gateway to the Norfolk Broads, surrounded by villages such as Upton, South Walsham, Fleggburgh and Stokesby. The housing stock in the area is a mix of period brick-and-pantile properties, post-war bungalows and more recent estate housing. Spray foam was fitted across all of these property types during the period when installation schemes were active. Whether you are in the village centre or in one of the outlying Broadland settlements, we cover the whole NR13 area and the surrounding postcode belt without any call-out charge for a free written quote.

Bryann Ward
50+years moss accumulation on the roof was causing us concern. Difficult to find local firm that did not use pressure washing to clean so when a R.Mail leaflet drop came through the door, decided to contact Prestige. Their response was quick and a quote was soon provided to clear the moss by hand which we accepted. an early date was agreed. Unfortunately this uncovered more serious damage to the underlying structure (as shown by photos) and a revised quote provided to completely re-tile. We agreed a new price and within a week the work started. The team of 4 worked hard completing the re-roof in 2 days, keeping us informed of progress, and leaving the area in a clean and tidy state. As well as a guarantee we were given a report on what was done, supported by photos. Overall a very professional approach.

I recently had work carried out by Prestige Roof, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As a young homeowner, I was understandably cautious about who I chose, but from the very first interaction, the team put me completely at ease. Luke, the director, took the time to come out personally and explain everything to me in a clear and thorough manner. He was extremely professional, patient, and well-mannered throughout, ensuring I fully understood the process and even encouraging me to take time to review the quotation with my family before making any decisions. This level of honesty and transparency was very reassuring. The work itself was completed to an exceptional standard. The team on site were punctual, respectful, and genuinely lovely to deal with. It was clear they took pride in their work, and the finished result truly reflects that. The completed project has transformed the appearance of my property, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. The aftercare provided was equally impressive. Any questions I had were handled promptly and professionally, and the office staff were always friendly, helpful, and efficient in their communication. Overall, my experience with Prestige Roof has been outstanding from start to finish. Their professionalism, quality of workmanship, and excellent customer service make them a company I would confidently recommend to anyone.

We discovered a small leak in the kitchen ceiling of our home in Snettisham. Prestige Roof came out and fixed the problem quickly. A small job but one they were happy to do. Great service from a local company.

We received a flyer through our door at the start of the month and decided to get in touch. Although it was only a small job, it’s definitely worth leaving a review ! Prestige responded quickly, came out the next day, and provided a quote on the same day . Work started the following week and lasted three days. They carried out a full roof clean, as well as cleaning the fascia and gutters. As an added bonus, they also jet-washed our driveway at no extra cost, which was a really nice touch. A big thank you to the team at Prestige, and especially to Luke for the excellent service. Highly recommended.
