An insulation assessment in London, Greater London tells you exactly what is behind your walls, under your floors and above your ceilings before you spend a penny on removal or replacement. We run thermal imaging surveys, moisture readings and ventilation checks across the capital, then hand you a plain-English report. Whether you are selling, buying, remortgaging or just chasing a cold room, we find the problem fast.
An insulation assessment in London, Greater London is a diagnostic survey that identifies what insulation is present, where it sits, how it performs and whether it is causing damp, condensation or mortgage problems. We use a thermal imaging camera to map cold bridges and missing coverage, then take moisture readings at wall bases, ceiling joists and loft timbers. If spray foam is present, we identify whether it is open cell spray foam or closed cell spray foam, check for adhesive residue and look for trapped moisture underneath.
London homes throw up problems you rarely see elsewhere. Victorian terraces in Islington and Hackney have solid brick walls with no cavity, so any foam applied internally traps damp against the masonry. Post-war estates in Croydon and Barking often have loft condensation because ventilation was blocked when insulation went in. If you have had a mortgage rejection due to spray foam, an insulation inspection London lenders accept is the fastest route to a clear answer. Book an insulation survey near me London homeowners trust and you will know within 48 hours.
Every assessment covers the same core checks, so you know what you are paying for before we arrive. Additional testing for commercial premises or large warehouse roofs is quoted separately once we understand the scale.
We scan walls, ceilings, floors and roof voids with a thermal imaging camera to map cold bridges, missing insulation and areas where moisture is likely sitting behind the surface. You get annotated images in the report.
Readings are taken at wall bases, ceiling joists, rafters and any timber in contact with foam. We record percentages so you can compare against future readings and prove whether a problem is active or historic.
We confirm whether you have open cell spray foam, closed cell spray foam or a mix, and note the likely brand where identifiable. This matters because lenders and removal methods treat each type differently.
Blocked air bricks, sealed eaves and covered soffit vents are common in London lofts. We check airflow routes and flag anything that is trapping moisture, which is often the real cause of condensation rather than the insulation itself.
A plain-English report with photographs, readings, findings and recommended next steps, delivered within 48 hours. It is formatted for lenders, surveyors and solicitors, and we are happy to answer follow-up questions by phone.
If removal is needed, we include a fixed price covering access, protective sheeting, containment, disposal bags and making good. No day rates, no extras added later, and the assessment fee is credited against the work.
Call 02080885342 or message us and we will book a slot, often same day across central London. You tell us the property type, the concern and whether a lender or solicitor is involved. We confirm access requirements for lofts, cellars and roof voids before we arrive.
A technician walks the property with a thermal imaging camera, moisture meter and borescope. We inspect loft insulation, roof voids, cavity walls and any visible spray foam. Expect 60 to 90 minutes for a typical three-bed terrace, longer for commercial units or warehouse spray foam removal surveys.
Where foam is present we identify open cell spray foam versus closed cell spray foam and check adhesion to timbers and masonry. We take moisture readings at multiple points and photograph everything. If dry ice blasting or sand blasting equipment will be needed for removal, we note it here.
You receive a report within 48 hours covering insulation type, condition, moisture levels, ventilation status and recommended next steps. It is written for lenders, surveyors and homeowners alike, with photographs and readings attached. No jargon, no padding.
If removal is needed, we quote for the work including access, protective sheeting, HEPA filters and disposal bags. If it is not needed, we tell you that too. You get a fixed price and a start date, and we do not chase you afterwards.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Maps temperature differences across walls, ceilings and roof voids to reveal missing insulation, cold bridges and areas where moisture is likely trapped behind foam.
Takes percentage readings at timbers and masonry, and lets us inspect behind foam without removing it, so we can check rafter condition during the survey.
Used during any sampling or removal work to contain dust and debris. Paired with HEPA filters and negative air machines on larger jobs to protect the rest of the property.
Removes foam and adhesive residue from timbers and masonry with minimal abrasion. Dry ice pellets lift material cleanly, which suits older London roof structures.
Cleans stubborn residue from brick and concrete where the substrate is hard enough. We assess suitability first, since some London masonry is too soft for abrasive blasting.
Cuts back foam and timber where access is tight. Bosch and Makita cordless tools let us work in lofts without trailing leads or tripping hazards.
Standard kit for every technician working with polyurethane foam. We use 3M respirators and disposable coveralls, and we seal work areas with protective sheeting before starting.
A homeowner had agreed a sale on a three-bed Victorian terrace, but the buyer's surveyor flagged spray foam across the entire loft and the lender withdrew its offer. The foam was closed cell, applied directly to the sarking boards, with no ventilation gap.
We assessed the loft, documented moisture readings at 18 percent in two rafters, and removed the foam over two days using dry ice blasting. Ventilation was restored at the eaves and the timbers dried to 12 percent within three weeks.
A couple had spent two winters with a bedroom that never warmed up, assuming the insulation was inadequate. A thermal imaging survey showed the closed cell foam was performing well, but a two-metre section of wall had no coverage at all behind the plasterboard.
We recommended a targeted repair rather than a full strip-out. The gap was insulated, the room reached temperature within 20 minutes of the heating coming on, and the couple saved roughly 4,000 pounds against a full removal quote.
A landlord was getting complaints about damp patches on bedroom ceilings across two rental properties. Both lofts had mineral wool laid right over the eaves, blocking airflow, and one had foam near the water tank. Moisture readings were 22 percent in the ceiling joists.
We cleared the blocked eaves, removed the foam around the tank, and installed ventilation trays. Readings dropped to 13 percent within a month, and no further damp complaints were received over the following winter.
Most people call us because something has gone wrong with a sale, a mortgage or a room that will not stay warm. Here are the situations we deal with every week across the capital.
Ask a pro →We assess the foam properly, document its type, coverage and moisture impact, and produce a report in the format lenders accept. If removal is required, we carry it out and provide photographic evidence of the completed work for your file.
Our thermal imaging and moisture readings pinpoint where the damp is coming from. Often the fix is restoring ventilation rather than removing foam, and we tell you honestly which applies to your property.
An independent assessment with hard data gives you something to negotiate with. We have helped sellers in Wandsworth and Bromley keep their agreed price by showing the foam was sound and the ventilation adequate.
We inspect what others cannot, using borescopes and thermal imaging to assess timbers behind the foam. Our report fills the gap and gives surveyors the information they need to proceed.
Most residential assessments in London cost between 180 and 350 pounds including the written report. Larger properties, commercial units and warehouse spray foam removal surveys run 400 to 750 pounds. If we go on to carry out removal work, we credit the assessment fee against the final invoice. Typical 2026 pricing across Greater London sits in that range.
