Spray Foam Removal near meLocal call-outs across N1, N5 and N7, usually booked within a few days of the first phone call. We cover Angel, Canonbury and Barnsbury terraces, plus the EC1 conversions where roof access runs through a communal stairwell.

same day Spray Foam RemovalSame day slots are kept for urgent cases: a completion date moved forward, a surveyor coming back tomorrow, or a buyer's lender demanding photographic proof. We can reach most Islington addresses within the hour and start cutting the same day. Call before midday and we will usually have a crew on site before the afternoon.View details →
24/7 Spray Foam RemovalRoof leaks, storm damage and water getting into foam-filled lofts do not wait for office hours. Our 24/7 line covers Islington around the clock, with a duty crew for emergency make-safe work. If foam is holding water against timbers and you can smell damp, call us at any hour and we will get someone out.View details →
Residential Spray Foam RemovalThe bulk of our Islington work is residential: Victorian terraces, mansion block flats and period conversions in Canonbury and Barnsbury. We protect stair carpets and hallways with protective sheeting, run a negative air machine to keep dust down, and bag every scrap of foam for removal. Most homes are back to normal the same day.View details →
Commercial Spray Foam RemovalCommercial units around Upper Street, the Business Design Centre and the EC1 fringe often have foam in roof voids above suspended ceilings. We work out of hours where trading hours matter, using air scrubbers and HEPA filters to keep dust away from stock and customers. Method statements and risk assessments come as standard for building managers.View details →
loft spray foam removalLoft spray foam removal is our most requested Islington service. Foam sprayed directly onto the underside of roof tiles traps heat and moisture, and it blocks the ventilation gap the roof was designed around. We cut it back, clear the rafters, and restore airflow so the roof can dry. Most lofts take one day.View details →
roof spray foam removalWhere foam has been sprayed at rafter level or onto sarking boards, roof spray foam removal needs careful cutting to avoid damaging the felt and battens underneath. We use an oscillating multi-tool and reciprocating saw to work around timbers, then inspect for hidden damp and rot before we sign the job off.View details →
Attic spray foam removalAttic spray foam removal in Islington usually means tight access through a hatch, low headroom and no loft ladder. We bring our own access kit and lighting, work in sections, and keep the landing clear. If your attic has closed cell foam bonded to the deck, we will tell you honestly how much timber may need replacing.View details →
spray foam insulation removalFull spray foam insulation removal for owners who want the roof returned to a breathable state before re-insulating properly. We strip the foam, clear adhesive residue from the timbers, and leave the loft ready for mineral wool or a compliant breathable insulation system. This is the job lenders usually ask for.View details →
open cell spray foam removalOpen cell spray foam is softer and lighter than closed cell, but it still blocks ventilation and holds moisture against timbers. In Islington's older roofs we remove it by hand and with low-speed cutting tools to avoid tearing the felt. It comes out faster than closed cell, which usually means a lower quote.View details →
closed cell spray foam removalClosed cell spray foam is rigid, dense and bonded hard to whatever it was sprayed onto. Removing it from Islington rafters takes patience and the right blades; forcing it off damages timber. We cut it into manageable sections, pry it clear, and check the wood underneath for rot before we finish.View details →
mortgage lender spray foam removalIf a lender has declined your mortgage because of spray foam, we produce the paperwork they want: before and after photographs, a written method statement, and confirmation the foam has been removed and the roof ventilates. We have helped Islington buyers get offers back on track after a surveyor's report stalled the sale.View details →
insulation removal serviceA full insulation removal service for lofts, roof voids and cavity walls, covering Islington's period housing and newer builds alike. We remove foam, old mineral wool and contaminated insulation in one visit, then dispose of everything through licensed waste routes. You get a clean, empty roof space ready for whatever comes next.View details →
insulation assessmentBefore you spend money, get an insulation assessment. We inspect the loft with a thermal imaging camera, check for hidden damp and rot, measure ventilation gaps, and tell you whether the foam actually needs to come out or can be left alone. In Islington we do these assessments for buyers, sellers and landlords.View details →
dry ice blasting spray foam removalDry ice blasting uses compressed dry ice pellets to freeze and lift foam and adhesive residue off timbers without abrasion. It is ideal for Islington lofts where the rafters are old and you cannot risk gouging the wood. We use it for final clean-up after the bulk of the foam has been cut away.View details →
Cavity wall spray foam removalCavity wall spray foam removal is a different job to loft work and needs a different setup. We remove foam from wall cavities in Islington's older properties where it has bridged the cavity and caused damp patches on internal walls. Expect a few days on site and some making good afterwards.View details →
sand blasting spray foam insulation removalFor stubborn foam and adhesive residue on brick, stone or concrete surfaces, sand blasting spray foam insulation removal strips it back to a clean substrate. We use it carefully around Islington's period brickwork, controlling pressure and media type so the masonry is not eroded. Dust is contained with sheeting and air scrubbers.View details →
thermal spray foam removalThermal spray foam removal uses heat to soften the bond between foam and timber, which helps on the dense closed cell jobs common in Islington roofs. It is slower than cutting, so we use it selectively where the foam is thickest or the timber is fragile. The result is less damage and less making good.View details →
environmentally friendly insulation removalWe keep waste out of landfill wherever we can. Foam is bagged and sent through licensed disposal routes, dry ice is reclaimed, and we use HEPA-filtered extraction rather than dumping dust into your street. For Islington customers who care about the environmental side, we will talk you through exactly where the waste goes.View details →
Warehouse spray Foam removalWarehouse spray foam removal around the EC1 and N7 industrial edges means large roof areas, high level access and out-of-hours working. We use scissor lifts and mobile towers, work in bays to keep the building operational, and provide full method statements for site managers. Most warehouse roofs are cleared in phases over several nights.View details →

How we carry out spray foam removal in Islington
Every Islington job starts with access. Most terraces in N1 and N5 have loft hatches in a hallway or bathroom, so we lay protective sheeting from the front door up. The crew wears respirators and protective clothing, and
Shallow Victorian lofts with no working space
Many Islington terraces have roof pitches that leave less than a metre of headroom at the eaves, which slows cutting and makes tool access awkward.
How we help: We use compact oscillating multi-tools and short blades to work in tight bays, and we cut foam into small sections that can be passed down through a standard hatch. It takes longer, but it avoids damaging the roof structure.
Conservation areas restricting external access
Canonbury and Barnsbury sit within conservation areas, so scaffolding and roof access from outside are not always straightforward or quick to arrange.
How we help: We work from inside the loft wherever possible, avoiding external scaffolding altogether. When external access is unavoidable, we use a mobile tower rather than fixed scaffolding and keep it within permitted limits.
Foam hiding damp and rot in old timbers
Spray foam traps moisture against rafters, and in Islington's older roofs that can mean hidden damp and rot that only shows once the foam is off.
How we help: We inspect every rafter as it is exposed, using a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter. If we find rot, we tell you the same day with photographs and a clear price for the timber repair before we carry on.

We know the route
Getting around Islington: landmarks we use
Islington is easy to navigate once you know the main routes, but the one-way streets and parking restrictions around Upper Street catch people out. We use the Emirates Stadium and Highbury Fields as our main orientation points when routing crews to N5 and N7 addresses, and the Regent's Canal as a marker for the eastern edge of the borough. Sadler's Wells Theatre and the Business Design Centre are useful for splitting the EC1 fringe from the residential streets. Knowing where the congestion sits saves us time on same day call-outs.
Upper Street
The main spine through Islington, and the easiest way to split Angel from Canonbury. Parking is restricted along most of it, so we plan load-in and load-out around the bays.
Business Design Centre
A clear marker on Upper Street for the commercial side of the borough. It helps us separate EC1 fringe jobs from the residential streets running north.
Sadler's Wells Theatre
Sits near the Rosebery Avenue end of Islington and helps us route to Clerkenwell and Finsbury addresses without cutting through the busiest junctions.
