Are you facing challenges with your property’s mortgage, equity release, or sale due to the presence of spray foam insulation? Igloo Installations has the solution.

Our Procedure
Removing spray foam correctly is straightforward with our trained operatives. For domestic properties with tiled or slated roofs, we manually remove the foam to inspect all timbers and joists, aiming to identify and repair any damp or rotten sections.

We document the process with photographs and moisture readings, ensuring transparency. If we encounter damaged timbers, we repair or replace them as necessary. Moisture issues are addressed using dehumidifiers or non-toxic solutions, ensuring the timbers are fit for purpose.

Once removed, the foam is safely bagged, sealed, and lawfully disposed of.
