About Spray Foam Removal Advice UK
UK's Leading Independent Authority on Spray Foam Insulation Issues & Professional Removal Solutions
Critical Market Update
Over 250,000 UK households are affected by spray foam mortgage restrictions. Major lenders including TSB, Skipton Building Society, and Principality are refusing mortgages on properties with spray foam insulation.
Why We Created This Platform
In 2024, we witnessed a crisis unfold. Thousands of UK homeowners discovered their properties had become unmortgageable due to spray foam insulation—often installed under government-backed schemes. With nowhere to turn for unbiased advice, families faced financial ruin, unable to sell, remortgage, or access equity release.
We founded Spray Foam Removal Advice UK as a direct response to this crisis. Our platform serves as the UK's first comprehensive, independent resource dedicated to helping homeowners navigate the complex issues surrounding spray foam insulation, mortgage problems, and professional removal solutions.
Our Mission
To empower UK homeowners with accurate, unbiased information about spray foam insulation issues and connect them with vetted, professional removal specialists who can restore their property's value and mortgageability.
- Provide clear, evidence-based guidance on spray foam risks and removal options
- Combat misinformation and expose predatory practices in the industry
- Maintain complete independence from manufacturers and installers
What we are — and what we are not
We are an advice and referral service for UK homeowners dealing with spray foam insulation. We are a small team, and we think you should know exactly what that means before you rely on anything we say.
We do not carry out removal work. We do not send operatives into your loft, we do not remove or dispose of anything, and we are not a surveying practice. The removal companies we introduce you to do that work, and they hold the insurance, the waste carrier registration and the trade qualifications for it.
We are not a standards body and we do not certify anyone. There is no official register of approved spray foam removal contractors in the UK, and nobody — including us — has the authority to create one. What we do instead is check: company registration and trading history, current insurance, waste carrier registration, the documentation a company issues at the end of a job, and what their previous customers say. Companies that don't clear those checks don't get your enquiry.
How we are paid: the removal companies pay us for the introduction. You pay us nothing. We say so plainly because it is the first question you should ask anyone who recommends a tradesperson to you.
Where our information comes from
Our guidance is based on published sources we cite on the page: RICS guidance on spray foam in residential property, the Property Care Association's inspection protocol, the relevant parts of the Building Regulations, and lenders' own published criteria. Where we state a fact, we link to where it came from.
When you need a professional
Nothing on this site is a survey, a structural assessment, or mortgage advice, and it is not a substitute for any of them. For a definitive assessment of your roof you need an independent RICS surveyor, and for your mortgage you need your own lender. We will help you understand what they tell you.
