# Spray Foam Removal Before Selling Your House

If you're selling a UK property with spray foam in the roof, you'll almost certainly hit problems. Buyer mortgages get refused, offers collapse, and the price drops by tens of thousands. Removing it first is the single best decision most sellers make.

## What happens if you don't remove it

-   Buyer's mortgage application refused at survey stage
-   Sale collapses 4–8 weeks in — often after you've offered on a new home
-   Cash-only buyers offer 20–30% under asking
-   Estate agents reduce list price to attract cash buyers

## What it costs vs. what it saves

Typical removal: £2,500–£6,000. Typical price hit if not removed: £20,000–£60,000. The maths is straightforward.

## Timeline for sellers

1.  Book free survey (within 7 days)
2.  Receive fixed quote
3.  Removal scheduled within 2–4 weeks
4.  Removal certificate issued same week as completion
5.  List with confidence — open to all buyers

## Frequently Asked Questions

Should I disclose spray foam to buyers? 

Yes. UK property law requires honest disclosure on the TA6 form. Removal eliminates the issue entirely.
