loft spray foam removalLoft spray foam removal The Stray North Yorkshire is the most common job we quote. Foam sprayed between rafters traps condensation, and in older Stray roofs that means timber decay. We remove open cell and closed cell foam, check the rafters with a moisture meter, and leave the loft ready for a surveyor to inspect.View details →
roof spray foam removalRoof spray foam removal in The Stray usually means foam applied to the underside of tiles or slates. That is where roof rot starts. We strip it back with a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool, taking care not to crack slates, then inspect the felt and battens before anything goes back.View details →
Attic spray foam removalAttic spray foam removal across The Stray covers the older properties around St Wilfrid's Church and Harrogate Ladies' College, where attics were often foamed in the 2000s under a grant scheme. We remove the foam, clear insulation over-spray and check for hidden leaks with a boroscope before signing off.View details →
spray foam insulation removalSpray foam insulation removal in The Stray is about getting the building back to a known state. We take out polyurethane foam, polyisocyanurate foam and older two-part mixes, then document what was removed and what condition the timbers are in. That report is what lenders and surveyors ask for.View details →
open cell spray foam removalOpen cell spray foam removal in The Stray is quicker than closed cell, but it still needs care. This foam soaks up moisture like a sponge, so we use a moisture meter on every rafter and a thermal imaging camera to find damp patches before we cut. Most Stray lofts are clear in a day.View details →
closed cell spray foam removalClosed cell spray foam removal in The Stray is the harder job. This foam sets like rock and will not peel off by hand, so we cut it in sections with a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool. We work slowly around rafters and wiring to avoid structural damage, then vacuum every surface.View details →
mortgage lender spray foam removalMortgage lender spray foam removal in The Stray is a paperwork job as much as a removal job. Lenders want proof the foam is gone and the roof is sound. We remove the foam, photograph the timbers, note any decay and provide a written summary your surveyor can work from. Most Stray sales then proceed.View details →
insulation removal serviceOur insulation removal service in The Stray covers spray foam, old mineral wool and contaminated loft insulation. If foam has been sprayed over existing insulation, both come out. We bag everything on site and take it away, so you are not left with skips on the drive in Duchy or West Park.View details →
insulation assessmentAn insulation assessment in The Stray tells you what you are dealing with before you commit to removal. We inspect the loft, check foam type, measure coverage, test for damp with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera, and give you a written view on whether removal is needed for your lender.View details →
dry ice blasting spray foam removalDry ice blasting spray foam removal in The Stray is our cleanest method for fragile roofs. Dry ice pellets lift foam off rafters without water or grit, which matters in older Stray properties where timber is already soft. It is slower than cutting, so we use it where the roof cannot take a saw.View details →
Cavity wall spray foam removalCavity wall spray foam removal in The Stray is less common than loft foam but it happens, usually in 1970s homes around Oatlands. Foam injected into a cavity can bridge the gap and cause damp. We assess with a boroscope first, then remove what we can and advise on the rest.View details →
sand blasting spray foam insulation removalSand blasting spray foam insulation removal in The Stray is used on brick, stone and concrete surfaces where foam has bonded hard. It is aggressive, so we only use it where the substrate can take it, and we sheet up properly. Most Stray jobs of this type are in basements and outbuildings.View details →
thermal spray foam removalThermal spray foam removal in The Stray uses heat to soften foam before cutting, which reduces the risk of tearing rafters. We use it on closed cell foam that has gone brittle. A thermal imaging camera then confirms no damp is left behind in the timber.View details →
environmentally friendly insulation removalEnvironmentally friendly insulation removal in The Stray means we bag and segregate waste for recycling wherever possible, and we use dry ice blasting instead of chemicals where it works. Foam goes to a licensed waste handler. We do not flush it down drains or leave it in your bin.View details →
Warehouse spray Foam removalWarehouse spray foam removal around The Stray covers units on the edge of Harrogate Town Centre and light industrial sites nearby.

How we run spray foam removal in The Stray
Spray foam removal in The Stray follows a set routine. We arrive, sheet up the loft and landing, and run a dust extraction unit and air scrubber before any cutting starts. Foam comes out with a spray foam removal saw and
Victorian rafters too soft for aggressive cutting
Older Stray roofs have thinner, drier timber. A saw can tear through a rafter if you push too hard, which turns a removal job into a structural repair.
How we help: We test the timber first with a moisture meter and boroscope. If it is soft, we switch to dry ice blasting or hand tools and cut in short passes, checking as we go.
Foam sprayed over existing insulation
Many Stray lofts have foam over mineral wool. You cannot remove one without the other, and the wool hides damp patches underneath.
How we help: We strip both layers, bag them separately and check the rafters once they are exposed. Any damp found is photographed and noted for your surveyor.
Tight parking near The Stray parkland
Streets around West Park and Oatlands are narrow and busy. Getting a van and extraction unit close to the house matters for a one-day job.
How we help: We ask you to reserve a space or clear the drive before we arrive. If parking is impossible, we run longer hoses from a legal bay and keep the pavement clear.

The Stray Spray foam removal FAQ
Spray foam removal in The Stray, North Yorkshire: FAQs
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
Call 03335672543 →Most Stray jobs run from around 1,200 for a small open cell loft to 3,500 or more for a large closed cell roof with difficult access. Foam type, loft access and timber condition are the main variables. We survey first and quote a fixed price, so you know the number before we start cutting.
The best firm is the one that surveys before quoting, checks your timbers with a moisture meter and gives you a written report your lender will accept. We have worked The Stray since 2021, cover HG1 2, HG2 0 and HG1 5, and provide photographs and a timber condition summary on every mortgage job.
Yes, if you call before 10am and the loft is accessible. We keep a crew on standby for The Stray and Harrogate Town Centre, and small loft jobs in West Park or Oatlands are often finished by late afternoon. Larger closed cell roofs usually need a full day, so we book those for the next available slot.
In most cases, yes. Lenders treat spray foam as a risk because it can trap moisture and cause roof rot. If your surveyor has flagged it, the mortgage will not complete until the foam is removed and the roof is shown to be sound. We provide the written report and photographs that surveyors ask for.
A typical Stray loft takes one day. Open cell foam in a standard semi is usually done in six to eight hours. Closed cell foam, or a roof with difficult access, can take a day and a half. We tell you the expected duration at survey, and we do not leave the job half-finished overnight.
