Why Leasehold Properties Need a Different Approach
Removing spray foam from a leasehold flat isn’t quite the same as removing it from a straightforward house. A few things are worth understanding before you start:
- You may not own the loft space, even if it’s above your flat. In most leases, the roof and loft void are retained by the freeholder rather than owned by the leaseholder, and this is worth checking before assuming you can arrange work independently.
- Whether you need freeholder consent depends on your lease. Most leases require permission for structural alterations, but straightforward insulation removal typically doesn’t alter the building’s structure, so it often falls outside that requirement. That said, lease wording varies significantly, so it’s worth checking yours rather than assuming either way.
- This mainly affects top-floor flats and maisonettes. If you’re on a lower floor, you likely won’t have a loft void directly above your property at all, so this page is most relevant if you’re in a top-floor flat, a maisonette, or you own the freehold of a converted house.
- Buildings insurance and communal areas are usually managed by your freeholder or management company, which can be relevant if the work needs to be coordinated with them rather than arranged entirely on your own.
We can help you work out what applies to your specific situation as part of your free inspection.

What to Do If You Need Freeholder Consent
If your lease does require consent for this kind of work, we can help make that process straightforward:
- We’ll provide clear documentation of the proposed work, which you can pass to your freeholder or managing agent alongside any request for consent
- Our completion certificate gives your freeholder confirmation that the work has been carried out professionally and to a proper standard
- If you’re unsure whether consent applies to your situation, we’d always recommend checking your lease or asking your freeholder directly before work begins, we’re happy to advise based on what we typically see, but the lease itself is the final word
Getting this right upfront avoids any dispute further down the line, particularly if you’re planning to sell or remortgage soon after.

Removal Insights & Expert Advice
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to your most common questions about spray foam removal. Our experts provide valuable insights, tips, and advice to help you understand the process, benefits, and best practices for effective removal.Do I need my freeholder's permission before removing spray foam?
It depends on your lease. Many leases only require consent for structural alterations, and straightforward insulation removal often doesn’t fall into that category, but wording varies, so it’s worth checking yours. We’re happy to advise based on what we typically see.
I'm in a ground-floor flat, does this apply to me?
Usually not directly, since you likely won’t have a loft void above your flat. This page is most relevant to top-floor flats, maisonettes, and converted houses where a loft space exists.
Who owns the loft space above my flat?
In most cases, it’s retained by the freeholder rather than owned by the leaseholder, even if it sits directly above your property. We can help clarify this for your specific lease during your inspection.
Can you provide documentation for my freeholder or management company?
Yes, every removal job includes a completion certificate, which can support any consent process or sign-off your freeholder or managing agent requires.
