Independent advice before removal
Before paying for spray foam removal, find out if you actually need it.
Removal quotes can run into thousands of pounds. SprayFoamCheck is independent — we inspect, document and report. We do not remove foam, and we earn nothing from removal companies.
Government guidance, 22 October 2026
Removal won't always fix the problem
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero says removing spray foam will not always mean a lender will still lend, and that improper removal could lead to further problems. It says to take specialist advice and talk to your lender before deciding anything.
So get independent evidence of what is in your loft before you pay for removal, and a record of what is left if the foam does come out. SprayFoamCheck doesn't remove foam and takes no referral fees.
Before you commit
Who told you that you need spray foam removal?
A removal recommendation can come from a party with a financial interest in the work: a removal company quoting after a free survey, a cold caller, or a contractor offering installation alongside removal.
That does not mean every recommendation is wrong. Some lofts genuinely need remediation. It means the recommendation should be verified by someone who has no stake in the outcome.
A £295 inspection gives you that verification — in writing, with photographs, moisture readings, and a clear conclusion that is yours to share with whoever you choose.
The type of foam in your loft changes everything
Open-cell and closed-cell foam behave differently in a roof void. Identifying the type is the first job of the inspection.
Open-cell foam
Softer, vapour-permeable, less adhered to timbers. Ventilation and timber condition can usually be assessed and recorded. Removal is more straightforward and lower cost.
Closed-cell foam
Rigid, dense, strongly adhered. Vapour-resistant — which makes ventilation and moisture risk more significant. Removal is laborious and timber damage during removal is a real risk.
What removal typically costs
The House of Commons Library estimates around £3,200 to remove spray foam from the roof of a three-bedroom detached house — about £40 per square metre.
Your own quote will depend on the roof area, access and scaffolding, the type of foam (open or closed cell), making good, and whether new insulation is fitted afterwards.
Cornwall Council Trading Standards advises getting an independent assessment first and obtaining more than one quote before proceeding.
SprayFoamCheck does not carry out removal and does not earn commission from removal companies.
Cost ratio: £295 is less than a tenth of the House of Commons Library's ~£3,200 estimate for removing spray foam from a three-bedroom detached house.
When removal is the right answer
We don't take a position against removal. Some lofts genuinely need it. The inspection identifies which.

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 is posted from a 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.
