What we do for homeowners across Norfolk
Spray foam insulation was widely installed across Norfolk homes during the 2000s and early 2010s, often as part of government-backed energy efficiency schemes. While it was sold as a quick fix, many lenders and surveyors now treat it as a serious defect, and mortgage refusals on this basis are common. If you have found yourself in that position, you are not alone, and the situation is fixable.
Our team travels from our base in Dersingham to carry out spray foam removal throughout Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and across the East of England. Whether you are in a coastal village on the North Norfolk coast, a market town in West Norfolk, or a city suburb, we can assess the foam in your roof space and remove it safely, leaving the structure in the best possible condition for a fresh surveyor inspection.
Common spray foam removal work we carry out in Norfolk
- Open-cell foam extraction: Softer, spongy foam that is generally easier to remove by hand without damaging the timbers beneath.
- Closed-cell foam removal: Denser and more adhesive than open-cell, this type bonds tightly to rafters and sarking felt and requires careful hand extraction to avoid structural damage.
- Rafter and felt inspection: Once the foam is out, we check the condition of your rafters and the breathable or traditional felt beneath. We report any rot or damage honestly and in writing.
- Ventilation restoration: Spray foam blocks the airflow that keeps a roof space dry and healthy. We clear any obstructed eaves and ridge ventilation as part of the job.
- Post-removal report for your lender: We provide a written report confirming the foam has been removed and the roof space restored, which you can pass directly to your mortgage lender or surveyor.
- Pre-sale removal: If you are preparing a Norfolk property for sale and want to remove a potential buyer obstacle before it is flagged, we can work to your timescale.
Why spray foam causes problems for Norfolk homeowners
The issue is not always the foam itself, but the way it was installed. When applied correctly and to the right specification, some spray foam products are structurally sound. The difficulty is that many installations across Norfolk and the wider East of England were done without proper surveys, using products that have since fallen out of favour with mainstream lenders. Halifax, Nationwide, Santander and most other high-street banks now routinely flag spray foam as a reason to decline a mortgage application or reduce the amount they are willing to lend.
Norfolk's housing stock is varied. Period cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war bungalows and 1980s new-builds all have different roof constructions, and the impact of spray foam differs depending on what is underneath it. Closed-cell foam in particular can mask deterioration in traditional felt and timber, which is why a thorough inspection after removal matters as much as the extraction itself.
Our approach: honest, careful and fully insured
We are a third-generation family roofing business, and our reputation in Norfolk and the East of England matters to us. We do not rush jobs or take shortcuts. Spray foam removal is done by hand, with no power tools on the rafters, to preserve the structural integrity of your roof. Every job is carried out by our own insured team, not subcontractors.
Before any work begins, we visit the property, assess the type and extent of the foam, and give you a free written quote with no obligation. If for any reason removal is not the right course of action for your property, we will tell you that too. We would rather give you an honest answer than take on work that will not solve your problem.

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.
