About Spray Foam Removal Advice UK

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 there is no official removal certificate in the UK. There is no official register of approved spray foam removal contractors either, 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.

Our removal certificate, and who issues it. After foam has been removed, Harber Glaves Trading Ltd, the company that runs this site, issues its own removal certificate and report. It is based on the evidence we review (photos and video of the loft) or on an in-person inspection. If you choose the RICS option, the certificate is also signed off by an independent RICS surveyor. It is our certificate, not an official or government one, and we never present it as anything else. To date, no lender has rejected a certificate we have issued. How the certificate works.

How we are paid: We are paid by the removal companies and surveyors we introduce you to. That never changes the advice on this site. You pay nothing for advice or introductions. We say so plainly because it is the first question you should ask anyone who recommends a tradesperson to you.
