Real lofts, real outcomes.

JI Estates contacted us on behalf of their seller, whose house sale was blocked by closed-cell spray foam insulation. The buyer's mortgage lender would not proceed unless the foam was fully removed and certified — and time was tight with the chain at risk.

We liaised with both the agent and the seller to get the job booked within days. We removed 45m² of spray foam from all visible rafters and timbers, leaving the roof structure clean and breathable. A signed Workmanship Certificate was issued immediately for use with the lender and surveyor.

• Removal of 45m² closed-cell spray foam
• Full clean-up and waste disposal
• Certificate of Workmanship issued on completion
• Job completed in 1 day
• Payment handled directly via legal team

Spray foam-related mortgage issues are one of the most common problems estate agents now face. By referring us, JI Estates ensured the deal could go ahead — protecting the sale and their client's timeline. A great example of how we support agents, buyers, and sellers with quick turnaround and zero disruption.

Jo contacted us to arrange loft insulation upgrades at two homes — her own and her son Jack's. Both properties had outdated fibreglass insulation that was no longer effective, and each had slightly different requirements. Jo wanted a small boarded storage area, while Jack needed his loft hatch sealed to prevent draughts.

We delivered both projects back-to-back under a combined booking and referral discount. At Jo's home, we removed 35m² of old insulation, installed 300mm of new mineral wool, and added raised boarding for safe, breathable storage. At Jack's, we cleared 45m² of insulation, upgraded to 300mm, and applied loft hatch insulation with a full draught-proof seal.

• Jo: removal of 35m² fibreglass insulation
• Jo: 300mm mineral wool (150mm + 150mm cross-layered)
• Jo: raised loft boarding system (3–5m²)
• Jack: removal of 45m² fibreglass insulation
• Jack: 300mm mineral wool installation
• Jack: loft hatch insulation and perimeter draught-proofing
• Full clean-up and Workmanship Certificates issued

By coordinating two homes under one booking, Jo and Jack both saved money and gained modern insulation that meets today's energy standards. From safe boarding to airtight hatches, both properties now enjoy better thermal performance — and no corners were cut.

Carolyn was preparing to release equity from her home but was blocked by a failed mortgage inspection due to spray foam insulation in her loft. Her lender required full removal before progressing. She needed the job done quickly, with proper documentation, and without any unnecessary upsells or delays.

We booked Carolyn in promptly and removed the existing spray foam from all loft timbers using a low-impact scraping and vacuum method. The job was completed in a single day, and we issued a signed Workmanship Certificate to satisfy her lender's requirements.

• Full mechanical removal of spray foam from timbers
• Approx. 40m² coverage removed
• All waste safely bagged and disposed
• Loft left clean, breathable, and mortgageable
• Workmanship Certificate issued same day
• Payment collected on completion

Spray foam insulation can prevent equity release, remortgaging, and home sales altogether. By acting quickly and professionally, we helped Carolyn regain control of her plans — with no pressure and no delay.

David contacted us to overhaul his loft space. The existing insulation was old, compressed, and ineffective. He also wanted to create a clear access path to the boiler, improve energy efficiency, and reduce heat loss through the loft hatch. In short — he needed the whole loft sorted, from top to bottom.

We carried out a complete loft clearance, removing all old insulation and unwanted materials. We then installed a full 100mm Knauf mineral wool system with SF19+ foil, followed by a raised boarding platform to protect airflow and allow safe access to the boiler. To finish, we insulated and draught-proofed the loft hatch, ensuring no heat was lost through the entry point.

• Full loft clearance
• Removal and disposal of old insulation & debris
• 100mm mineral wool installation & SF19+
• Raised 5m² boarding platform for boiler access
• Loft hatch insulated and perimeter sealed
• Full clean-up and Workmanship Certificate issued
• Payment collected on completion

A complete loft overhaul like this shows what's possible when you combine energy performance with practical access. David's job included every element: clearing, insulating, boarding, and sealing — all handled cleanly, professionally, and with long-term performance in mind.

Aquabridge Law instructed us on behalf of a client's estate to remove open-cell spray foam insulation that was blocking a property sale. The buyer's mortgage lender required full removal and certified re-insulation to proceed, and the probate team needed the work carried out quickly and professionally.

We removed all spray foam from the underside of the roof using a controlled mechanical method and followed up with a full 200mm mineral wool top-up to restore breathable, compliant insulation. A Workmanship Certificate was issued immediately, helping the transaction proceed without delay.

• 80m² of open-cell spray foam removal
• 200mm mineral wool re-insulation (top-up layer)
• All waste removed from site
• Certificate issued upon completion
• Payment handled via legal instruction

In probate sales, spray foam can become a hidden blocker to mortgage approval. By delivering a fast turnaround with compliant re-insulation, we helped Aquabridge Law preserve the sale timeline and give peace of mind to all parties involved.
