Is unmortgageable spray foam holding up your property sale? GS Home Solutions safely removes open and closed-cell foam across Berkshire.
Answer a few quick questions to receive a fixed-price extraction quote. No pressure, no obligations.
If you have spray foam insulation in your loft, you are likely facing significant hurdles when trying to sell, remortgage, or release equity. The UK property market has effectively blacklisted homes with polyurethane foam.
Major UK lenders now routinely decline mortgages or equity release on properties featuring spray foam insulation, effectively giving your home a £0 valuation by surveyors.
Foam seals the roof space completely, causing condensation to become trapped against the wooden joists, leading to rapid, hidden rot and dampness throughout the loft.
As the timber degrades silently under the hardened foam, the structural integrity of your roof is severely compromised, potentially costing tens of thousands to replace.
Our specialized removal teams painstakingly clear the polyurethane foam without damaging your delicate roof felt or joists. We treat the timbers and ensure your loft breathes again.
Our proven 3-step process guarantees your roof is cleared safely and certified ready for surveyors.
We assess the type of foam (open or closed cell), check the timber condition, and provide a transparent, fixed-price quote with zero pressure.
Our specialists use non-destructive manual and mechanical methods to lift the foam, preserving your roof felt and structural joists.
We clear all debris and provide you with full completion certificates and waste transfer notes—exactly what mortgage lenders demand.

Everything you need to know about spray foam removal and making your property mortgageable again.
Most UK high street lenders, including Halifax and Nationwide, have strict policies against properties with spray foam insulation. It traps moisture against roof timbers, leading to hidden rot which jeopardizes the structural integrity of the roof. Surveyors are instructed to flag this, resulting in a £0 valuation until it is professionally removed.
A standard 3-bedroom semi-detached property typically takes 1 to 2 days to fully clear. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption, utilizing advanced techniques to protect your joists and safely bag all waste.
Absolutely. Upon completion, you will receive a comprehensive removal certificate, waste transfer notes, and a post-work inspection report. This documentation is exactly what mortgage surveyors require to approve lending and proceed with your house sale or equity release.
In 95% of cases, no. We conduct the extraction entirely from inside your loft space. Only in extremely severe cases where the underlying roof felt and battens are completely destroyed by rot would external work be required, and this is always identified during our free initial survey.
