Why Was Spray Foam Mis-Sold to You?
Spray foam insulation was marketed as a quick and easy solution to making properties more energy-efficient, but unfortunately, many customers have been misled or poorly advised about its true long-term effects.
Here are some common reasons why spray foam insulation has been mis-sold to property owners:
Over-promised energy efficiency
Once spray foam is installed, it is incredibly difficult to remove. Many property owners are left with a poorly ventilated, damp environment, unable to find a company who will safely and effectively remove it.

Incompatibility with building regulations
Spray foam insulation can often trap moisture in roofs and walls, causing hidden damage to timber and plasterwork. This creates problems with UK Building Regulations and can make properties unmortgageable for mortgage lenders.

The Downsides of Spray Foam Insulation
While spray foam insulation may seem like a great solution at first, it comes with several hidden drawbacks that often aren’t communicated clearly:
Moisture and Condensation Issues
Spray polyurethane foam traps moisture within walls and roofs, preventing proper airflow and causing severe condensation in your loft space. This leads to penetrating damp, black mould growth, and progressive timber rot—all of which compromise your property’s structural integrity and create significant health risks for occupants.
Roof and Timber Damage
Over time, trapped moisture causes timber decay and serious damage to roof structures including rafters, trusses, and joists. This hidden deterioration can be extremely costly to repair, as property owners typically don’t notice the damage until structural failure occurs. RICS surveyors flag this as a major concern during property valuations.
Limited Ventilation
Whilst closed-cell spray foam excels at blocking heat transfer, it completely prevents natural loft ventilation and breathability. This lack of airflow leads to long-term structural damage, dangerous mould spore accumulation, significant health risks including respiratory problems, and a substantial decrease in indoor air quality throughout your Bournemouth property.
Problems with Mortgage and Sale
Here’s the critical issue affecting over 250,000 UK properties: homes with spray foam become effectively unmortgageable. Major lenders including TSB, Halifax, Nationwide, and Skipton Building Society reject mortgage applications outright due to RICS guidance on concealed timber damage. Surveyors routinely down-value or flag these properties, making them nearly impossible to sell or remortgage.

Yes, we specialise in sensitive spray foam removal from listed buildings and period properties across Bournemouth. Extra care protects original Victorian roof timbers whilst meeting Conservation Area guidelines and heritage standards.
Open-cell foam is spongy and easier to remove. Closed-cell foam is rigid and requires specialist equipment. Both cause mortgage rejection with TSB, Halifax, and Nationwide, requiring professional removal.
After professional removal, insurance options improve significantly. We provide completion certificates and timber inspection reports that insurers like Aviva and Direct Line accept, often reducing premiums once Rockwool alternatives are installed.
Most spray foam removal projects in Bournemouth take 2-5 working days depending on loft size and foam type. This includes extraction, timber inspection with moisture readings, and issuing your completion certificate.
