Do I need spray foam in the loft to book this?

No. It's a general loft check covering insulation, timber, ventilation, moisture and visible defects, whatever the insulation type.

Is it suitable before a loft conversion?

Yes. It gives a documented baseline of the loft's state before work starts and can flag what a builder would otherwise find mid-job.

How is it different from the spray foam inspection?

The spray foam inspection goes deep on the foam: type, what it was sprayed onto, condition, ventilation impact, with timber and air readings. The loft condition report is broader and lighter, covering the whole roof void. If spray foam is present and you need the full evidence, book the spray foam inspection.

Will it help with mould or a damp smell?

Yes. It records where mould is and how far it goes, the state of the ventilation paths and moisture readings on accessible timbers: the evidence you or a damp specialist need to act on the cause rather than guess.

Is it suitable for landlords or insurance?

Landlords use it to evidence the loft's condition between tenancies. It is a documented record at the time of inspection, not a structural survey or a prediction of future condition.

Further away, a fixed travel supplement is added (£50 South & East England, £75 Greater London, £100 far Cornwall) and shown with your total as soon as you enter your postcode, before you book.

WOW, What top notch service.... We have had no idea where to turn since the absolute mess provided by The spray foam installation. I found Sprayfoamcheck online and contacted Jan who has been professional and helpful from day one. His report and guidance has helped us start the ball rolling toward getting past the last two years of the mess we were left with physically and monetarily... 110% recommend this company and once we have established closure with this, i will provide a further update. THANK YOU !!!

If you are looking to get your Spray foam insulation independently checked then I can highly recommend Jan. The inspection report he provided was comprehensive, well-structured, and easy to understand. He carried out a thorough assessment, clearly identifying the condition of the spray foam insulation and explaining the findings with supporting photographs and detailed observations. The recommendations were practical, unbiased and extremely helpful, giving me confidence in the report's accuracy. Even after his inspection and report, I was able to contact him with any queries which he was more than happy to help with. He is worth every penny!

I cannot recommend Jan at Spray Foam Check highly enough. From start to finish, his professionalism, expertise, and dedication have been outstanding. The report he produced for me was incredibly thorough and detailed—far beyond anything I expected. Every aspect was carefully evidenced, clearly explained, and presented with a level of precision and care that has given me real confidence in moving forward with my claim. It's clear that Jan puts a huge amount of time and effort into his work, and it truly shows. What stood out most was not just the quality of the report, but the genuine commitment behind it. I felt fully supported throughout the process, and the final report is an invaluable document that I know will make a significant difference in resolving my situation. If you are looking for someone knowledgeable, diligent, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for you, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jan. Thank you again—your work has made a huge difference to us.

After Jan had surveyed the work done in my loft by , he produced a damning report (30 pages) of all the terrible work had done and, thanks to Jan, I was able to get a full refund from , which I can now use to get the work done by a reputable company. Jan was extremely thorough throughout & I am extremely grateful to him – he is a superstar!
