Removal is a sensible option for many UK homeowners — but unfortunately the market also attracts contractors who use scare tactics and inflated quotes. A little preparation goes a long way.
Vague scope of work
A trustworthy quote sets out exactly what will be done: removal method, timber inspection, waste disposal, ventilation restoration and the post-removal check. Quotes that say “remove all foam” without further detail are not enough to compare fairly.
Pressure tactics and “today only” pricing
If a contractor warns that your roof is in immediate danger and offers a discounted price only if you sign that day, walk away. Legitimate removal projects can wait long enough for a second opinion.
Unrealistic claims about lender approval
No removal company can guarantee that a particular lender will approve your mortgage after their work. Always treat such promises with caution — a broker is a better person to consult on lender attitudes.
Always seek a second opinion
Two or three quotes from different contractors will reveal a fair range very quickly. An independent advisory body can also tell you what a reasonable project should cost in your specific area.
