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.

Fast and efficient service, this must have been a one off? from quote to completion, including scaffolding 3 days. Inspection and quote on Wednesday, scaffold arrived Thursday and job started and finished on Friday. This was for new roof membrane, new battens cleaned and replaced tiles, as well as a complete new flat roof rubber covering and lagged loft as well for good measure. Left early Friday evening and apart from the skip of rubbish I would not have know they had been, all clean and tidy as promised. A big thank you to James and his crew for an excellent job.

I recently suffered from a leak in my bedroom and was really worried about the condition of my roof. I contacted Prestige Roof Ltd to carry out a full roof MOT on my property, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I got in touch with them, the whole experience was professional and reassuring. The team came out promptly and carried out a very thorough inspection of the roof. They took the time to clearly explain what they were looking at and showed me the areas that had deteriorated. They also explained what a damaged or failing roof looks like, which really helped me understand the problem rather than just being told I needed repairs. After the inspection, they provided me with a fully detailed report along with a clear quotation, which was very helpful and transparent. The office staff were absolutely lovely to deal with—friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions I had. The workers who attended the property were fantastic as well. They were polite, respectful, and worked very professionally throughout the visit. Luke, the owner of Prestige Roof Ltd, clearly knows his trade. He took the time to talk everything through with me and made sure I understood what needed to be done. He was very kind, honest, and genuinely made me feel like he cared about helping me solve the problem rather than just doing a job. Overall, I had a brilliant experience with Prestige Roof Ltd. The service was professional, honest, and very thorough from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs roofing advice, an inspection, or repairs. It’s not easy finding trustworthy tradespeople these days, but this company really stands out.

Prestige Roof offered to come and repair a couple of slipped tiles on my mother's roof for free, whenever they were in the area. The two young chaps who came the next day were on time, very polite, knowledgeable and offered some very helpful advice.

We were very pleased with the work carried out by Prestige Roof Limited on our property In March 2026. They removed the old spray foam roof insulation, repairing timbers that had been damaged by it, retiling where needed and replacing the roof membrane and ridge tiles. They carried out this work in the time frame that they said they would. The crew was courteous and kept us informed of progress with numerous photos of the roof work, they also cleared up after themselves. We thoroughly recommend Prestige and would use them again ourselves. Trevor and Linda Scott, Holme-next-the-sea. Norfolk.
