How Much Does Spray Foam Removal Cost in the UK?

If you've been told that the spray foam in your loft needs to come out, one of your first questions is probably: “How much is this going to cost me?”

It’s a fair concern — especially if the insulation was sold to you years ago as a long-term investment. In this post, we’ll explain what spray foam removal usually costs in the UK, what factors influence the price, and what you should expect from a proper quote.

Typical Price Range

For most standard homes in the UK, spray foam removal costs between £1,200 and £3,500.

The final cost depends on several key factors:

• Size of the loft (square footage)
• Thickness and type of foam (closed-cell is tougher to remove)
• Ease of access (low or cramped lofts may take longer)
• Condition underneath (if rot or damage is found, extra care is needed)

At Snug & Secure, our quotes typically fall between £1,500 and £2,800, including full removal, clean-up, and optional re-insulation.

What's Included in a Proper Quote?

A trustworthy removal service should include:

• Full manual removal of all visible foam
• Careful protection of the roof timbers
• Proper disposal of the foam material
• Photos before and after (for lenders or surveys)
• A certificate of removal (if required for mortgage purposes)

We also offer breathable re-insulation in the same visit if you choose to replace the foam right away — more info on that here.

Are There Hidden Costs?

There shouldn’t be — but it’s worth checking if:

• Disposal is included
• You’ll be charged extra for tight loft access
• The quote covers labour and materials (if re-insulating)

We always give clear, written quotes with no upselling or surprise extras. That’s especially important for homeowners looking to sell or remortgage quickly.

Can You Get It Done Cheaper?

You might find lower prices from general roofers or handymen, but be cautious.

Spray foam removal isn’t just about pulling material off — it’s about doing it safely, without damaging the structure, and meeting lender expectations.

Cutting corners can leave traces behind, damage the roof, or cause problems later if the job needs redoing.

Final Thoughts

Spray foam removal isn’t the cheapest job — but it’s often the only way to move forward with a home sale, remortgage, or equity release.
