Spray foam removal in Jaywick done right, first time

Condensation running down the rafters

Water droplets on the underside of the roof covering usually mean the foam has sealed the roof and stopped it breathing. In Jaywick's damp air this happens fast, and the moisture is sitting against the timber every night. It needs investigating before the rafters soften.

A musty smell in the loft or upstairs

A persistent damp, earthy smell is a classic sign of trapped moisture and early timber rot from trapped moisture. By the time you can smell it, the foam has usually been holding water for months. Get it checked with a moisture meter before it spreads.

Surveyor or lender flags the foam

A failed building survey or a mortgage refusal due to spray foam is the most common reason Jaywick homeowners call us. Lenders treat foam as a risk because it hides the condition of the roof structure. Removal and inspection is usually the fastest route to unblocking a sale.

Visible sagging or crumbling foam

If the foam is pulling away from the rafters, crumbling or dropping onto the loft floor, it has failed as insulation and is no longer doing anything useful. It is also a sign that moisture has got behind it. Removal is the only sensible fix at that point.

Cold rooms despite the insulation

Foam that has absorbed water loses its insulating value, so the house feels cold and heating bills climb. In Jaywick's older bungalows this is often blamed on the windows or the boiler when the real culprit is wet foam in the roof space above.
