GLSR Solutions South West is the dedicated regional branch of GLSR Solutions Ltd, a family-run company with an established reputation for quality workmanship and customer care. Our parent company is a long-standing member of Checkatrade, and we proudly uphold the same high standards across the South West.

We specialise exclusively in spray foam insulation removal and professional loft insulation in the South West, offering homeowners a safe, compliant, and reliable service from start to finish.

Why spray foam insulation has become a problem

Over recent years, spray foam insulation has led to significant issues for homeowners. Although originally marketed as an energy-efficient solution, it has caused widespread problems including:

  • Mortgage refusals and down-valuations – Many lenders now reject properties with spray foam due to moisture risks and hidden timber conditions.
  • Concealed roof damage – The foam bonds tightly to rafters and membranes, making it difficult to inspect roof timbers and allowing leaks or rot to go unnoticed.
  • Trapped moisture – Closed-cell foam can seal moisture against timber, accelerating decay and compromising structural integrity.
  • Resale complications – Surveyors often advise full removal before a sale can proceed.

As a result, many homeowners are now being advised—sometimes urgently—to have spray foam professionally removed.

How GLSR Solutions South West can help

We specialise in safe, thorough, and mortgage-compliant spray foam removal.

Our process includes:

  • Full initial survey with moisture readings and photographic documentation
  • Careful manual extraction to protect rafters, membranes, and ventilation
  • Identification of any hidden issues (such as leaks or timber damage)
  • Responsible waste removal and disposal
  • Preparation for re-insulation or roof repairs where required

We aim to restore your loft to a clean, breathable, lender-approved condition.

Loft insulation solutions

Once the spray foam has been removed, we offer professional, energy-efficient alternatives, including:

  • Traditional loft-floor insulation to retain heat in the home
  • Actis HYBRIS rafter insulation, providing enhanced thermal performance, airtightness, and moisture control
  • Guidance on choosing the right system for your home, based on ventilation, structure, and energy goals

We ensure your loft is insulated properly—without compromising the health of your roof.
