Spray foam removal in Lewisham by local specialists
Spray foam removal in Lewisham is a specialist job, and we are one of the few local teams set up for it. We cover Brockley, Catford, Deptford, Forest Hill and New Cross, working on Victorian terraces, period loft conversions and ex-local authority housing that has been retrofitted with foam over the years. Most of our Lewisham spray foam removal work comes from homeowners who have been told by a mortgage lender that the foam has to come out before a sale can complete. Others call us because they have spotted damp and mould growth around the loft hatch or noticed their roof timbers are soft. We use spray foam cutting tools, oscillating multi-tools and reciprocating saws to remove the foam without damaging the rafters, then run an industrial vacuum and dust extraction unit to keep the loft clean. Where the foam has bonded hard to the timber, we bring in a dry ice blasting machine to lift it without gouging the wood. Every job finishes with a moisture meter check and a thermal imaging camera survey so you can see the timbers are dry before we close up.

UK Spray Foam AuthorityLewisham has a high concentration of period properties with loft conversions, and a lot of them were insulated with spray foam between the 2000s and the 2010s. That foam is now causing problems: trapped moisture, roof rot from trapped moisture, and mortgage refusal due to spray foam. We set up in 2022 specifically because we kept getting calls from SE13 and SE6 homeowners who could not find anyone local to take the foam out properly. The borough's housing mix, from Victorian terraces near Ladywell Fields to ex-local authority stock in Deptford, means no two lofts are the same. We treat each one on its own merits.

04Residential Spray Foam Removal

05Commercial Spray Foam Removal
Commercial spray foam removal in Lewisham covers warehouses, workshops and office units around Deptford and the Lewisham Shopping Centre area.

How we execute spray foam removal in Lewisham
Spray foam removal in Lewisham runs on a simple sequence: survey, protect, cut, clean, verify. We start with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter survey so we know exactly where the foam has trapped damp. Then we
Tight loft hatches in Victorian terraces
Older terraces in Brockley and Forest Hill often have hatches under 600mm, which limits the size of cutting tools and extraction hoses we can get through. How we help: We carry compact oscillating multi-tools and flexible extraction hose that fit through narrow hatches. Where the hatch is too small, we remove the frame, work through the opening, and refit it afterwards at no extra cost.
Parking restrictions near Lewisham Shopping Centre
Loading and unloading around the town centre and Goldsmiths University can add an hour to a job if we cannot park close to the property. How we help: We check parking zones when we book and arrange suspended bays with Lewisham Council where needed. Our vans carry all tools and waste bags, so we only need one trip in and one out.
Hard closed cell foam bonded to old rafters
Closed cell foam sets like rock and will tear soft Victorian timber if you try to cut it off with a saw alone. How we help: We use a dry ice blasting machine to freeze and release the foam from the timber. It takes longer than cutting, but it protects the rafters and avoids a roof repair bill later.

Spray foam removal pricing in Lewisham
Spray foam removal in Lewisham typically costs between 1,200 and 3,500 pounds for a standard loft, depending on the type of foam and the size of the space. Open cell foam is quicker to remove and usually sits at the lower end. Closed cell foam takes longer, especially if it has bonded hard to the rafters, and that pushes the price up. Access also matters: a tight loft hatch in a Brockley terrace adds time, and parking restrictions near Lewisham Shopping Centre can add cost if we need a suspended bay. For 2026, our average residential job in Lewisham is around 1,800 pounds. Commercial and warehouse jobs are priced separately after a site survey. We provide a fixed quote after the survey, so you know the full cost before we start.
Foam type and thickness
Open cell foam is softer and comes out faster, so it costs less to remove. Closed cell foam sets hard and often needs dry ice blasting, which adds labour and equipment time. Thicker foam also takes longer to cut out and bag.
Loft size and access
A standard Lewisham terrace loft is around 20 to 30 square metres. Larger lofts or those with tight hatches and awkward roof shapes take longer. If we need to remove the hatch frame to get tools in, that adds time but not a huge amount.
Timber damage and treatment
If the foam has trapped moisture and caused rot or mould, we need to treat the timbers before we close up. Minor treatment is included in most quotes. Significant structural timber damage may need a carpenter, which we price separately after the survey.
