loft spray foam removalLoft spray foam removal in Brixton is our most common job. Most of the lofts here are conversions in Victorian roofs, and the foam is usually sprayed directly onto the rafters. We cut it back with an oscillating multi-tool and reciprocating saw, then vacuum the residue so the roof space is ready for a surveyor.View details →
roof spray foam removalRoof spray foam removal in Brixton targets foam applied to the underside of slates and tiles. This is the type that worries lenders most, because it can block ventilation and hide water ingress. We remove it carefully from the outside where access allows, and from inside where it does not.View details →
Attic spray foam removalAttic spray foam removal in Brixton covers the older, unconverted roof spaces in the terraces around Stockwell and Camberwell. These attics often have original lath and plaster, so we use hand tools and a HEPA-filtered vacuum rather than anything aggressive, and we check for hidden damp and rot while we are up there.View details →

We strip the foam, check the roof ventilation, and can recommend a Building Regulations Part L compliant alternative so the roof performs properly without trapping moisture.View details →
open cell spray foam removalOpen cell spray foam removal in Brixton is the easier of the two foam types to take out, but it still makes a lot of dust. We use a dry ice blasting machine on the softer sections and an industrial vacuum throughout, so the loft stays usable and the foam does not spread through the house.View details →
closed cell spray foam removalClosed cell spray foam removal in Brixton is the harder job. This foam sets rock hard, so we cut it into sections with a reciprocating saw, pry it off the timbers, and sand back any adhesive residue. It takes longer, but it is the only way to leave a roof that a surveyor will pass.View details →

Cavity wall spray foam removalCavity wall spray foam removal in Brixton is usually needed when foam was injected into a Victorian or interwar wall and is now causing damp internally.

Foam sprayed directly onto rafters blocks the gap between tiles and felt, so moisture has nowhere to go. That is what causes the rot and damp that surveyors flag, and it means removal has to be complete rather than partial.
How we help: We clear the full roof slope, then check and restore the ventilation path before we leave. If the roof needs a breathable insulation instead, we recommend a Building Regulations Part L compliant option so the problem does not come back.
Brixton's CPZ zones and market-day closures around Brixton Station Road mean a van cannot always park outside the property. That adds time to loading and unloading if it is not planned properly.
How we help: We book parking in advance where possible, use the shortest carry route to the loft hatch, and schedule market-area jobs outside peak trading hours. Our team carries the bags out in stages so the pavement is never blocked.
Many Brixton terraces have had a loft conversion, and the foam is often behind a plasterboard skin. A visual inspection alone will miss it, which is why some homeowners get a quote that turns out to be too low.
How we help: We use a thermal imaging camera and, where needed, a small inspection opening to confirm exactly where the foam is. You get a fixed price based on what is actually there, not a guess.

Brixton is easy to navigate once you know it, but the one-way streets and market closures catch out firms from outside the area. We use the landmarks below as orientation points when we are routing to a job, and they help us work out which side of the market we need to approach from.
A fixed point on Stockwell Road that we use to orient jobs on the Stockwell side of Brixton. If you are near the Academy, we know which approach to take to avoid the busiest stretches.
The market and the surrounding streets are pedestrianised at peak times, so we plan around the closures on Atlantic Road and Electric Avenue when carrying equipment to nearby properties.
The park is a useful boundary marker for the Herne Hill and Tulse Hill sides of Brixton. Jobs backing onto the park usually have easier parking on the residential streets.
The Ritzy sits on Windrush Square and marks the centre of Brixton. It is a handy reference point for jobs on the surrounding streets where the one-way system makes routing less obvious.
