Spray Foam Removal in North Walsham

Spray foam in your North Walsham home? Here is what we can do

Spray foam insulation was widely fitted across Norfolk during the 2000s and 2010s, often as part of government-backed energy schemes. Many North Walsham homeowners are now finding that the foam is causing real problems , refused mortgage applications, failed surveys, and roofs that cannot breathe properly. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone, and it is a problem we deal with every week.

At Prestige Roof, we specialise in the safe, careful removal of spray foam insulation from timber roof structures. Our team works by hand, without power tools on the rafters, so the timbers beneath are protected throughout. Once the foam is out, we restore proper airflow to your roof space and can provide a written report for your lender or surveyor. We are based in Dersingham on the West Norfolk coast, and we cover North Walsham and the wider North Norfolk area as part of our work across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and across the East of England.

Can spray foam actually be removed?

Yes , and in most cases it can be removed fully. The type of foam matters. Open-cell foam is softer and generally easier to extract. Closed-cell foam is denser and bonds more firmly to timbers, so it takes more time and care to remove cleanly. Both types can be tackled, though the condition of the underlying timbers will affect the scope of the work.

We always carry out a thorough inspection before we start. That way you get an honest picture of what is involved, how long the job will take, and what the written quote will look like , before any work begins. There is no obligation and no sales pressure.

North Walsham properties and spray foam

North Walsham is a busy North Norfolk market town with a good mix of period properties, post-war housing and more recent estates. Many of the older homes , particularly the terraced and semi-detached stock built in the mid-twentieth century , were targeted by cavity and loft insulation schemes during the 2000s and 2010s. Spray foam was sometimes used in loft spaces as part of these programmes, and it is those installations that most commonly cause problems today when owners come to sell or remortgage.

We also cover nearby towns including Cromer, Sheringham and Wroxham, so if you have neighbours or family elsewhere in North Norfolk dealing with the same issue, we can help them too.

How much does spray foam removal cost?

The cost depends on the size of the roof space, the type of foam installed, and how firmly it has bonded to the timbers. Open-cell foam generally takes less time to remove than closed-cell foam, which tends to reduce the overall price. Because every job is different, we do not publish a fixed rate , what we do is visit, assess the roof space properly, and give you a free written quote with no obligation to proceed.

We are a third-generation, family-run roofing company and we are fully insured. We believe in giving honest advice rather than upselling work that is not needed.
