Post-Removal Verification
Confirm the removal was done correctly — independently, from someone with no connection to the company that did the work.
£295 fixed
Removal is done. A certificate issued by the removal company confirms their own work — there is no independent oversight. This inspection produces an independent condition record: complete removal, timber condition, ventilation restoration, and current moisture status. It is not a lender-accepted certificate — lenders typically require a RICS valuation, which is a separate instruction. Where the RICS surveyor or solicitor asks for independent specialist post-removal evidence, this report is built to support that.
What the inspection covers
- Full loft inspection post-removal
- Confirmation of complete foam removal — any residue noted and documented
- Timber and substrate condition assessment
- Calibrated moisture meter readings (%MC) per timber location — benchmarked against PCA published thresholds
- Protmex HT607 psychrometer reading — temperature, relative humidity (%RH), dew point, and wet bulb at loft apex
- Ventilation pathways confirmed restored
- Photographic record throughout
- Written sign-off report with assessor credentials on every page
Who this is for
This service is for homeowners who have had spray foam professionally removed and need independent written confirmation that the removal is complete and the roof structure is in acceptable condition.
It is specifically designed for homeowners who need an independent evidence document that carries no conflict of interest — because the assessor has no connection to the company that carried out the removal.
It is also used by homeowners who received a self-issued certificate from the removal company and whose mortgage broker or solicitor has told them an independent assessment is required.
What you can do with this report
- Independent condition record of the post-removal state — not a lender-accepted certificate
- Provide to your solicitor for inclusion in the conveyancing file
- Support a RICS surveyor's request for independent specialist post-removal evidence (lending decision sits with the lender)
- Keep as a permanent condition record for the property
What this report is not
Being clear about scope protects you and ensures you know exactly what you are getting.
- ×Not a RICS valuation
- ×Not a guarantee of mortgage acceptance — the lender makes that decision
- ×Not produced by the removal company or anyone commercially connected to it
- ×Not a structural engineer's timber assessment — this is a visual and instrument-based condition assessment by Jan, DEA qualified (ABBE Level 3)
A certificate from the removal company is not independent
When a removal company issues its own post-removal certificate, it is confirming the quality of its own work. There is no independent oversight. Paperwork produced by the company that carried out the removal is not independent of the company that carried out the removal. An assessor with no involvement in the work has no interest in the outcome either way.
SprayFoamCheck has no removal arm, no installation arm, and no commercial relationship with any removal company. The report reflects what is actually in the loft — whether that is good news or not.
What you receive
The report is delivered as a professional PDF document within 48–72 hours of the inspection. It includes: a cover page with assessor credentials (DEA ABBE Level 3), inspection date and property address; photographic record of the cleared loft space; tabulated moisture meter readings per timber location; psychrometer reading at loft apex; structured findings on removal completeness, timber condition, and ventilation; and a plain-English summary you can share with anyone you choose, including a solicitor.
Is there a spray foam removal certificate?
There is no official or government-issued certificate for spray foam removal. What removal companies normally hand over is their own paperwork — a receipt or "certificate" written by the same firm that did the work.
If a buyer, surveyor or solicitor has asked for proof that the foam has gone, what they usually mean is independent evidence: confirmation from someone with no stake in the removal that the loft has been cleared and left in sound condition.
That is what a Post-Removal Verification Inspection provides — a photographic, measured record of the roof space after removal, including residue checks, timber condition and moisture readings, carried out by an assessor who was not involved in the removal and has nothing further to sell you. The report is yours to share with whoever you choose.

Why are all our reviews on Google?
Simple: Google reviews are the one thing we can't control. We can't edit them, hide them, or choose which ones you see. Every review comes from a verified Google account and is published unedited, in public, where anyone can read it.
We built SprayFoamCheck on independence — no removal arm, no referral fees — so our reviews sit on the one platform where we have no say over what's shown. If a review site let us filter or curate, it wouldn't prove anything.
