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.

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.
