Post-Removal & Replacement Insulation Verification
Verify both the removal and the new insulation in one visit — including BBA certificate compliance check.
£375 fixed
Many homeowners who pay for spray foam removal are offered replacement insulation by the same company — often multi-foil products like SuperFOIL or YBS SuperQuilt. These products have specific BBA certificate installation requirements. A removal company installing replacement insulation has no independent oversight. This inspection verifies both the removal and the replacement installation in a single visit, including cross-referencing the installation against the product's own BBA certification requirements.
What the inspection covers
Removal verification
- Confirmation of complete foam removal — any residue noted and documented
- Timber and substrate condition assessment
- Calibrated moisture meter readings (%MC) per timber location
- Protmex HT607 psychrometer reading — temperature, RH%, dew point, wet bulb
- Ventilation pathways confirmed restored
- Photographic record of cleared loft space
Replacement insulation verification
- Replacement insulation type identified and documented
- BBA certificate located for the specific product installed
- Installation cross-referenced against BBA certificate requirements: air gap dimensions, fixing method, joint tape specification, overlap, coverage completeness
- Any non-compliance identified and documented with photographic evidence
- Plain-English summary of compliance status
Who this is for
This service is for homeowners who have had spray foam removed and replacement insulation installed by the same company — typically multi-foil products offered as an upsell after removal.
It is the right service when you want to confirm both that the removal was complete and that the replacement insulation was installed correctly — in a single visit, from an independent assessor with no connection to the company that carried out either element of the work.
It is also the right service when you suspect the replacement insulation may not have been installed correctly and want documented grounds to require the installer to rectify it.
What you can do with this report
- Independent condition record of removal completeness and replacement-insulation BBA compliance — not a lender-accepted certificate
- Provide to your solicitor for the conveyancing file — covers both elements in a single document
- Challenge the installer if BBA non-compliance is identified — the report provides documented evidence
- Use as evidence if a warranty claim arises regarding the replacement insulation
- Support a RICS surveyor's request for independent specialist evidence (lending decision sits with the lender)
What this report is not
Being clear about scope protects you and ensures you know exactly what you are getting.
- ×Not a Building Regulations compliance certificate — it is an independent assessment against BBA certification requirements
- ×Not a RICS survey
- ×Not a product warranty — that remains with the manufacturer
- ×Not a guarantee of lender acceptance
- ×Not produced by anyone connected to the removal company or the insulation installer
What is a BBA certificate and why does it matter?
Every spray foam product and every replacement insulation product sold in the UK should have a British Board of Agrément (BBA) certificate — a product-specific approval document that defines exactly how that product must be installed to maintain its warranty and performance claims.
This includes the required air gap dimensions, fixing method, joint tape specification, and coverage requirements. When a removal company installs replacement insulation quickly as an upsell, these requirements are not always met.
SprayFoamCheck locates the BBA certificate for the specific product installed and cross-references the actual installation against its requirements. If there is non-compliance, you have documented grounds to require the installer to put it right — at their cost, not yours.
What you receive
A single professional PDF report delivered within 48–72 hours of the inspection. It includes: assessor credentials on every page; photographic record of the cleared loft space and the installed replacement insulation; tabulated moisture meter readings and psychrometer reading; removal completeness findings; replacement insulation compliance assessment against the relevant BBA certificate; and a plain-English summary covering both elements — suitable for lender submission and conveyancing files.
