Spray foam insulation in Edinburgh homes
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, and its Old and New Towns together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beyond the centre are Victorian tenement districts such as Marchmont and Leith, and large areas of inter-war bungalows in the suburbs. We give free advice on spray foam and arrange quotes from vetted removal companies covering Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Spray foam removal cost in Edinburgh
Loft spray foam removal is priced per square metre, typically £50-80 per m². Open-cell foam sits at the lower end of that range and closed-cell foam at the upper end, because it is denser and bonds harder to the timber. For a typical UK loft that works out at between £3,000 and £8,500, and most three-bedroom properties take 2-5 days.
We do not publish a separate price for Edinburgh. The price is set by the removal company after a survey, and it depends on the size of the loft, the type of foam and how easy the roof space is to reach.

Edinburgh property information
Local housing stock
Edinburgh features stunning Georgian townhouses in the New Town, Medieval buildings in the Old Town, Victorian tenements in areas like Marchmont and Bruntsfield, and modern developments. Most city centre properties are listed or in conservation areas.
Local considerations
A large part of central Edinburgh is listed or in a conservation area, and listed building consent is needed for works that affect a listed building's character. Tenement roofs are normally common property shared between the owners in the stair. Inter-war bungalows are widespread in Corstorphine, Blackhall and Craigentinny, and have large roofs for their size. The seller's Home Report is usually where spray foam is first recorded.

Edinburgh spray foam removal FAQ
Common questions from Edinburgh homeowners
You may. In Scotland, listed building consent is required for works that affect the character of a listed building, and the City of Edinburgh Council decides whether a proposal needs it. Ask before booking, and tell the removal company the building is listed.
