The problem with the spray foam removal market
How to choose a spray foam removal company without getting it wrong.
The removal market is unregulated. Free surveys, high-pressure sales, and self-issued completion paperwork are common. This page is what to ask, what to walk away from, and how to use an independent inspection to evaluate any quote.
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.
Seven questions to ask before signing a removal contract
If a removal company cannot answer all seven in writing, that is the answer.
- 1
Are you the company that quoted me, or are you genuinely independent?
- 2
What is your written specification for the removal — closed-cell vs open-cell method?
- 3
What waste-disposal documentation will you provide on completion?
- 4
What happens if rafter timbers are damaged during removal? Whose cost?
- 5
Are you fully insured for working in a loft, including liability and tools cover?
- 6
What warranties cover the removal work itself?
- 7
Are you willing to work from an independent inspection report as the basis for your specification?

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.
Still on the fence? Don't take this page's word for it. Read what other homeowners wrote, straight from the source — then decide.
