Removing spray foam is only one stage. Once previously concealed areas can be seen, the roof space should be assessed for moisture, staining, restricted airflow, damaged underlay and timber defects.
Not every loft needs the same remedial work. AGM records what is visible and agrees a proportionate scope; structural or surveying matters outside our remit should be referred to an appropriately qualified independent professional.
Is this service relevant to your property?
- Spray foam has been removed and the roof space needs cleaning and assessment.
- Ventilation routes appear restricted or need to be reinstated.
- Accessible timbers show staining, elevated moisture or local deterioration.
- A clear handover record is needed for a surveyor, valuer or future buyer.
What the process involves
- 01
Post-removal inspection
We record the visible condition of accessible timbers, coverings, underlay and ventilation paths.
- 02
Define remedial work
Findings are separated into cleaning, ventilation, repair or specialist matters so the scope remains clear.
- 03
Complete agreed works
Approved remedial items are carried out with photographs taken at appropriate stages.
- 04
Prepare the handover
The completed condition and work carried out are documented for your property records.
What you receive
Frequently asked questions
What problems can become visible after foam removal?
Possible findings include moisture staining, leaks, damaged underlay, restricted ventilation or timber defects. Their presence and severity vary between properties, and some roofs show no significant defect.
Is timber treatment always required?
No. Treatment should respond to an identified condition rather than be applied automatically. Significant decay or structural concerns should be assessed by a suitably qualified professional.
Can AGM provide photographs for my surveyor?
Yes. Relevant stages can be photographed and included in the handover record, although the surveyor or lender decides what evidence they require.
