An inspector goes up into your loft, identifies the foam, tests the rafters and emails you a photographed report that sellers, buyers, lenders and landlords across Bolton can read in minutes. Roof surveys from £195. Removal is quoted separately in writing, and only when the survey supports it.
Look first, strip later. Foam only comes off when the timber gives a reason.
Plenty of foam does no harm for years, and some of it conceals trouble. We find out which kind you have by taking readings on the wood, then explain your choices plainly.
Four ways to deal with spray foam in a roof, ranked by cost. The cheapest one is the one you choose.
Everything below is included. There is nothing else to pay.
Not on the day, not on the invoice, not afterwards.
The report records what we could see and what we could not, so nobody is guessing later. Take it to any contractor you like.
Heaton is one of Bolton's leafier suburbs, with large Victorian and Edwardian villas, inter-war semis and detached houses on generous plots. Roofs are often big, complicated and slated, with dormers, bays and extensions added over the years. We record where foam has gone, how thick it is and how the timber beneath looks.
Welsh slate, stone flags or concrete tile, then battens, felt and rafters. We record how each layer is holding up under the foam.
Also covering the rest of Bolton — same price, same service.
Been told every trace must be stripped? Ask us for a free second opinion. Nobody can say that with confidence until the rafters have been measured with a moisture meter.
Bolton (BL1, BL2, BL3, BL4 and BL6) and its neighbourhoods, from Smithills, Heaton and Halliwell to Deane, Farnworth, Breightmet and Horwich. Our inspector is based around Bolton, so most visits can be booked within a few working days.
£195 fixed. Written report. Yours to keep.
A big house usually means a big roof, and a big roof usually means several rounds of building work. Extensions, dormers and converted attic rooms each create a chance for foam to be added without being mentioned. We work through each section in turn and write down what we find, so you are not relying on the memory of a previous owner.
Buyers at this end of the market tend to commission a full building survey, and the surveyor will often flag spray foam in a loft. Having your own report ready means the conversation starts from facts you already hold.
