Hackney Empire
The Empire sits on Mare Street in Hackney Central and is a useful marker for jobs around the town hall and the surrounding terraces. It helps us group central Hackney call-outs on the same run.

Spray foam removal services available in Hackney

If you are searching for Spray foam removal near me Hackney, this is the full list of what we can do for you, from a single loft strip-out to a full warehouse roof in Hackney Marshes.
Spray Foam Removal near meWe cover every Hackney postcode, from E1 in Shoreditch through E8 in Dalston to E9 in Homerton. Most call-outs are loft and roof void jobs in Victorian terraces, and we can usually get a surveyor to you within 48 hours of your first call.View details →
same day Spray Foam RemovalIf a mortgage valuation is booked and the foam has to go, we can often get a crew to you the same day across Hackney Central, London Fields and Clapton.

24/7 Spray Foam RemovalWater pouring through a foam-blocked roof at 2am is an emergency, and we answer the phone around the clock for Hackney addresses. We can make the roof safe overnight and come back in daylight to strip the foam properly. That service covers Shoreditch, Dalston, Stoke Newington and the E2 and N1 borders.View details →
Residential Spray Foam RemovalMost of our Hackney work is residential: terraces, conversions and flats where foam was sprayed into the loft years ago. We protect floors and stairwells with sheeting, cut the foam out in sections, and vacuum the space clean before we leave. Typical jobs in London Fields and Victoria Park take one to two days.View details →
Commercial Spray Foam RemovalWe strip foam from commercial roofs and warehouse units around Hackney Marshes, Hackney Wick and the Lea Bridge corridor. These jobs need out-of-hours working so the business stays open, and we bring the air scrubber and industrial vacuum to keep dust out of stock areas. Surveys are free and usually done within a week.View details →
loft spray foam removalLoft spray foam removal Hackney is our core service. We cut the foam back to the rafters, check the timbers for hidden damp and rot with a thermal imaging camera, and clear the ventilation path so the roof can breathe again. Most lofts in E5 and E8 are finished inside two days.View details →
roof spray foam removalFoam sprayed directly onto roof tiles or felt is the hardest to remove, and it is common in older Hackney properties around Stoke Newington and Clapton. We work from inside the loft where possible to avoid scaffolding costs, and use dry ice blasting on fragile surfaces. Expect a two to three day job.View details →
Attic spray foam removalAttic spray foam removal in Hackney often means working in tight spaces behind chimney breasts and under low purlins. We use an oscillating multi-tool to get into corners a full-size saw cannot reach, then vacuum out the debris. We can usually complete a standard attic in a single day.View details →
spray foam insulation removalIf your foam was installed as insulation and has since caused condensation or a failed survey, we remove it and leave the loft ready for a compliant alternative. We work to PAS 2035 principles so the replacement insulation performs properly. This is the service most Hackney mortgage cases need.View details →
open cell spray foam removalOpen cell foam is softer and soaks up water like a sponge, which is why we see so much of it in damp Hackney lofts. It comes out faster than closed cell, but it leaves more residue behind. We use an industrial vacuum and air scrubber to clear every trace from the rafters.View details →
closed cell spray foam removalClosed cell foam sets like concrete and is the main reason lenders refuse mortgages on Hackney homes. It has to be cut out in sections with a reciprocating saw, and the rafters often need sanding back afterwards. A typical closed cell loft in E8 takes two to three days.View details →
mortgage lender spray foam removalWhen a lender or surveyor flags foam on a Hackney property, we provide the removal and the paperwork to satisfy them. We have worked on cases across Shoreditch, Dalston and London Fields, and we can usually survey within 48 hours of instruction. The report confirms the foam is gone and the roof is ventilated.View details →
insulation removal serviceOur insulation removal service Hackney covers foam, old mineral wool and contaminated board in one visit. We bag everything into HEPA-filtered disposal bags and take it away, so you are not left with a skip on the street. Most Hackney jobs are cleared within one working day.View details →
insulation assessmentBefore any removal we survey the loft with a thermal imaging camera to see how far the foam has spread and whether damp has reached the timbers. The assessment takes about an hour and you get a written report the same day. It is free for Hackney addresses.View details →
dry ice blasting spray foam removalDry ice blasting is our go-to method for fragile roof surfaces in older Hackney properties, including listed buildings around Hackney Empire. The dry ice pellets freeze the adhesive residue so it lifts off without gouging the timber. There is no secondary media to clean up afterwards.View details →
Cavity wall spray foam removalCavity wall foam is common in Hackney's post-war estates and can block the wall's ability to breathe. We remove it through targeted access points rather than drilling the whole elevation. Most cavity jobs in E9 and E5 are completed in a single day.View details →
sand blasting spray foam insulation removalFor stubborn foam bonded to brick or stone in Hackney warehouse conversions, we use sand blasting media at low pressure to lift the residue without damaging the substrate. It is a controlled method and we sheet the whole area first. Best suited to empty commercial spaces.View details →
thermal spray foam removalThermal spray foam removal uses heat to soften the bond between foam and timber before cutting, which reduces the risk of splitting old rafters. It is slower than cold cutting but safer on fragile Hackney roof structures. We reserve it for listed and older properties.View details →
environmentally friendly insulation removalWe keep foam waste out of landfill wherever possible and use low-dust methods like dry ice blasting instead of harsh chemicals. All protective sheeting and disposal bags are removed and the loft is left clean. It is the tidy option for Hackney homeowners who care about the mess.View details →
Warehouse spray Foam removalHackney Wick and the Lea Bridge corridor have plenty of warehouse roofs with foam insulation that has failed. We work nights and weekends so your operation is not disrupted, and we can handle large spans with our industrial vacuum and air scrubber. Free survey within a week.View details →

How we execute spray foam removal in Hackney
Hackney's building stock splits roughly into two camps: Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate or tile roofs, and post-2000 flats and warehouse conversions with different roof construction. Foam behaves differently
Tight loft access in Victorian terraces
Many Hackney terraces have loft hatches under 600mm and steep roof pitches, which slows removal and means we cannot use large equipment inside the loft.
How we help: We survey the hatch and roof pitch first, then bring compact cutting tools and a portable industrial vacuum that fits through a standard opening. Where access is genuinely too tight, we remove a section of roof covering instead and make it good afterwards.
Restricted parking on terraced streets
Streets around London Fields and Broadway Market have resident permit bays and narrow carriageways, so a standard van cannot always park outside the job.
How we help: We check parking restrictions when we book and arrange a suspension or a nearby loading bay where needed. Equipment is carried in on trolleys and all waste goes out the same way, so we are not blocking the pavement for long.
Foam hiding damp and rot in old timbers
Foam traps moisture against rafters, and in Hackney's older roofs that can mean rot has already started by the time removal begins.
How we help: We run a thermal imaging camera over the timbers before cutting and check moisture readings as we expose each rafter. Any soft timber is flagged in writing with photos, and we can replace affected sections before the new insulation goes in.

Getting around Hackney and the landmarks we use
Hackney is not a borough where you can rely on a satnav alone. Half the streets around London Fields and Broadway Market are one-way, and the market itself closes roads on Saturdays. We use the big landmarks as orientation points when we plan a day's work: Hackney Empire on Mare Street tells us we are close to the town hall cluster, Victoria Park anchors the eastern jobs around Victoria Park Road and Grove Road, and Dalston Junction is our marker for the Kingsland Road corridor. Hackney Marshes is the reference point for the warehouse and commercial jobs out towards Lea Bridge. Knowing these landmarks means we can group jobs sensibly and keep travel time down, which is why we can often offer same-day slots across the borough.
Victoria Park
The park forms the eastern boundary between Hackney and Tower Hamlets, so it is our reference point for jobs on Victoria Park Road, Grove Road and the streets around London Fields.
Broadway Market
Broadway Market runs between London Fields and Hackney Central and is closed to traffic on market days. We plan around it when booking jobs on the surrounding streets.
London Fields
The open space at London Fields anchors the E8 postcode and helps us locate the dense terrace streets that surround it on three sides.
