Residential Spray Foam RemovalResidential spray foam removal in Brixton covers the full range of homes, from flats above Brixton Village to four-bedroom Victorian terraces near Brockwell Park.

Commercial Spray Foam RemovalCommercial spray foam removal in Brixton is mostly for shops, restaurants and light industrial units around Brixton Station Road and the market arches. We work outside trading hours where needed, use negative air machines to keep dust out of customer areas, and provide disposal paperwork for the waste.View details →
loft spray foam removalLoft spray foam removal in Brixton is our most common job. Most of the lofts here are conversions in Victorian roofs, and the foam is usually sprayed directly onto the rafters. We cut it back with an oscillating multi-tool and reciprocating saw, then vacuum the residue so the roof space is ready for a surveyor.View details →
roof spray foam removalRoof spray foam removal in Brixton targets foam applied to the underside of slates and tiles. This is the type that worries lenders most, because it can block ventilation and hide water ingress. We remove it carefully from the outside where access allows, and from inside where it does not.View details →
Attic spray foam removalAttic spray foam removal in Brixton covers the older, unconverted roof spaces in the terraces around Stockwell and Camberwell. These attics often have original lath and plaster, so we use hand tools and a HEPA-filtered vacuum rather than anything aggressive, and we check for hidden damp and rot while we are up there.View details →
spray foam insulation removalSpray foam insulation removal in Brixton is for homeowners who want the foam out and a breathable insulation put back. We strip the foam, check the roof ventilation, and can recommend a Building Regulations Part L compliant alternative so the roof performs properly without trapping moisture.View details →
open cell spray foam removalOpen cell spray foam removal in Brixton is the easier of the two foam types to take out, but it still makes a lot of dust. We use a dry ice blasting machine on the softer sections and an industrial vacuum throughout, so the loft stays usable and the foam does not spread through the house.View details →
closed cell spray foam removalClosed cell spray foam removal in Brixton is the harder job. This foam sets rock hard, so we cut it into sections with a reciprocating saw, pry it off the timbers, and sand back any adhesive residue. It takes longer, but it is the only way to leave a roof that a surveyor will pass.View details →
mortgage lender spray foam removalMortgage lender spray foam removal in Brixton is for buyers and sellers stuck because a lender will not proceed.

insulation assessmentAn insulation assessment in Brixton tells you what is actually in your roof before anyone quotes for removal. We inspect with a thermal imaging camera, identify open cell spray foam, closed cell spray foam or mixed products, check for loft condensation and hidden damp, and give you a straight answer on whether removal is necessary.View details →
dry ice blasting spray foam removalDry ice blasting spray foam removal in Brixton uses dry ice pellets to freeze and lift the foam without chemicals or water. It is ideal for the older roof timbers around Brixton Academy and Windrush Square, where you want the foam gone but you do not want to soak the wood or damage original plaster.View details →
Cavity wall spray foam removalCavity wall spray foam removal in Brixton is usually needed when foam was injected into a Victorian or interwar wall and is now causing damp internally. We open the wall at strategic points, extract the foam with specialist tooling, and make good afterwards so the wall can dry out and breathe again.View details →
sand blasting spray foam insulation removalSand blasting spray foam insulation removal in Brixton is for stubborn foam bonded to brick, stone or concrete, often in basements and commercial units. We use controlled sand blasting media with full containment and a negative air machine, so the dust does not escape into the rest of the building.View details →
thermal spray foam removalThermal spray foam removal in Brixton uses heat to soften the bond between foam and timber before we lift it away. It is a gentler method for fragile roof structures, and we pair it with a thermal imaging camera to confirm we have found every patch of foam, including the bits hidden behind insulation.View details →
environmentally friendly insulation removalEnvironmentally friendly insulation removal in Brixton means we separate the foam from other materials, bag it properly and send as much as possible for recovery rather than landfill. We use HEPA filters on every vacuum and keep protective sheeting over floors and stairwells so nothing ends up in the garden or the drains.View details →
Warehouse spray Foam removalWarehouse spray foam removal in Brixton covers the larger industrial units around the railway arches and Loughborough Junction. These roofs are usually high and wide, so we bring in mobile access equipment, work in sections to keep the building usable, and remove the foam from the full underside of the roof deck.View details →

How we carry out spray foam removal in Brixton
Brixton jobs follow a pattern, but the details change street by street. We start with an insulation assessment, using a thermal imaging camera to map the foam and check for loft condensation or hidden damp. Then we set u
Victorian roofs with no ventilation path
Foam sprayed directly onto rafters blocks the gap between tiles and felt, so moisture has nowhere to go. That is what causes the rot and damp that surveyors flag, and it means removal has to be complete rather than partial.
How we help: We clear the full roof slope, then check and restore the ventilation path before we leave. If the roof needs a breathable insulation instead, we recommend a Building Regulations Part L compliant option so the problem does not come back.
Restricted parking around the market and station
Brixton's CPZ zones and market-day closures around Brixton Station Road mean a van cannot always park outside the property. That adds time to loading and unloading if it is not planned properly.
How we help: We book parking in advance where possible, use the shortest carry route to the loft hatch, and schedule market-area jobs outside peak trading hours. Our team carries the bags out in stages so the pavement is never blocked.
Loft conversions hiding foam behind plasterboard
Many Brixton terraces have had a loft conversion, and the foam is often behind a plasterboard skin. A visual inspection alone will miss it, which is why some homeowners get a quote that turns out to be too low.
How we help: We use a thermal imaging camera and, where needed, a small inspection opening to confirm exactly where the foam is. You get a fixed price based on what is actually there, not a guess.

We know the route
Finding our way around Brixton
Brixton is easy to navigate once you know it, but the one-way streets and market closures catch out firms from outside the area. We use the landmarks below as orientation points when we are routing to a job, and they help us work out which side of the market we need to approach from.
Brixton Market
The market and the surrounding streets are pedestrianised at peak times, so we plan around the closures on Atlantic Road and Electric Avenue when carrying equipment to nearby properties.
Brockwell Park
The park is a useful boundary marker for the Herne Hill and Tulse Hill sides of Brixton. Jobs backing onto the park usually have easier parking on the residential streets.
The Ritzy
The Ritzy sits on Windrush Square and marks the centre of Brixton. It is a handy reference point for jobs on the surrounding streets where the one-way system makes routing less obvious.
