A spray foam removal left unfinished: how we cleared the loft and re-insulated it
The problem
A homeowner had paid another company thousands of pounds to remove spray foam insulation. The company left the job incomplete and abandoned heaps of the removed insulation in the loft. The space was unusable, and what was left behind was a possible health risk.
What we found
When we assessed the loft it was in a mess, with spray foam debris scattered all through it. That affected both the safety of the space and how well the house kept its heat.
What we did
We removed the abandoned material first, and cleaned the loft until it was free of hazardous remnants. Once it was clear, we installed mineral wool insulation. We explained each step to the homeowner as we went.
The result
A clear, clean and insulated loft, instead of a pile of someone else's waste.
A tip from this one
Before you pay anyone to remove insulation, ask what they will do with the waste, and ask to see their waste carrier registration. Ours is CBDU532168, and you can check it on the Environment Agency's public register.
