How we run spray foam removal in Southwark
A typical Southwark loft takes one to two days to strip, depending on how much closed cell foam is bonded to the rafters. We start with an insulation assessment using a thermal imaging camera, because foam that looks fin
Tight parking and access in SE1 and Borough
Loading and unloading takes longer, and we cannot always park directly outside. On narrow streets near Borough Market we may need to carry equipment a short distance, which adds time to the setup.
How we help: We check parking restrictions and loading bay times before the job and book a bay where possible. For SE1 jobs we often send a smaller van with the core kit and bring the bulk removal equipment in once the bay is secured.
Victorian roofs with no ventilation gap
Foam sprayed between rafters in Southwark terraces blocks the airflow the roof was designed around. That traps moisture, and by the time foam is removed there is often damp or rot in the timbers underneath.
How we help: We use thermal imaging to map damp before we cut, then remove foam in sections so we can inspect each rafter as it is exposed. Where rot is found we document it and advise on timber treatment before any new insulation goes back in.
Conservation areas limiting external access
In conservation areas around Borough and Dulwich, scaffolding and external roof access can be restricted. That means almost all removal has to happen from inside the loft, in tight spaces.
How we help: We plan every job as an internal removal from the start, using compact tools and dry ice blasting rather than heavy equipment. Where external access is unavoidable we work with you on the permissions needed before we book the date.

We know the route
Finding our way around Southwark
Southwark is easy to navigate once you know it, but the one-way systems and parking restrictions near the river catch people out. We use Tower Bridge and The Shard as our main orientation points when routing crews across the borough, and Borough Market as the marker for the SE1 jobs where parking needs booking in advance. For anything south of the river, Canada Water and Dulwich Picture Gallery tell us which side of the borough we are working and which route to take.
The Shard
Visible from most of Southwark, so it is a reliable way to confirm which side of the borough a crew is on. Jobs around London Bridge and Borough are routed using it as the reference point.
Borough Market
A marker for the SE1 jobs where parking is tightest. We use it to plan loading bay bookings and to time arrivals outside the busiest market hours.
Tate Modern
Sits on the riverside near Bankside, which helps us separate the riverside jobs from the residential streets further south. Useful for routing around the South Bank traffic.
