Spray foam removal in Dereham and mid-Norfolk
Spray foam insulation was marketed heavily to homeowners across Norfolk and the East of England from the 1990s through to the 2010s, and Dereham is no exception. Many mid-Norfolk properties had it applied to the rafters or sarking boards as a quick fix for heat loss. The problem is that most mortgage lenders now treat spray foam as a red flag, and surveyors are routinely flagging it on valuations. If you are trying to sell, remortgage, or release equity from your Dereham property and your lender has raised a concern, you are not alone.
Our team travels regularly across mid-Norfolk, and we are based in Dersingham, just over 30 miles north-west of Dereham, so we can usually arrange an inspection quickly. We carry out full spray foam removal for homeowners across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and across the East of England, from market towns like Dereham to coastal villages and city suburbs.
Can spray foam be removed from a roof?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases it can, and we do it every week. The method depends on which type of foam is present. Open-cell foam is softer and more straightforward to lift away in sections. Closed-cell foam is denser and bonds more firmly to the timbers, so extraction takes longer and requires more care. In both cases we work by hand rather than with power tools, because cutting into cured foam with aggressive equipment risks damage to the rafters and sarking boards beneath.
Once the foam is extracted, we inspect the roof timbers for any moisture damage that may have built up behind the foam, clear the residue, and restore the ventilation pathway across the roof space. We can then provide a written report documenting the removal, which is what most lenders and their surveyors require before they will proceed with a mortgage offer.
Common spray foam removal work we carry out in Dereham
- Open-cell foam extraction: Softer foam lifted carefully from rafters and boards, with minimal disturbance to the surrounding structure.
- Closed-cell foam removal: Dense, bonded foam removed by hand in sections, preserving the timber beneath wherever possible.
- Residue clearance: Thorough clean-up of the roof space after extraction, removing fragments and dust.
- Timber inspection: Assessment of rafters and sarking boards for moisture damage or rot that the foam may have concealed.
- Ventilation restoration: Reinstatement of airflow through the roof space, which is essential for long-term timber health.
- Written removal report: A clear document you can pass directly to your lender or solicitor to satisfy their requirements.
How long does spray foam removal take?
Most domestic properties in and around Dereham take between one and three days, depending on the size of the roof space and the type of foam present. Closed-cell foam generally adds time because of how firmly it bonds to the surface. We will give you a clear, honest estimate after we have inspected the loft, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. We never pressure anyone into proceeding on the spot.

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.
