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 certificates are common. This page is what to ask, what to walk away from, and how to use an independent inspection to evaluate any quote.

    Seven questions to ask before signing a removal contract

    If a removal company cannot answer all seven in writing, that is the answer.

    1. 1

      Are you the company that quoted me, or are you genuinely independent?

    2. 2

      What is your written specification for the removal — closed-cell vs open-cell method?

    3. 3

      What waste-disposal documentation will you provide on completion?

    4. 4

      What happens if rafter timbers are damaged during removal? Whose cost?

    5. 5

      Are you fully insured for working in a loft, including liability and tools cover?

    6. 6

      What guarantees or warranties cover the removal work itself?

    7. 7

      Are you willing to work from an independent inspection report as the basis for your specification?

    Red flags to walk away from

    ×Door-to-door cold callers — never sign on the day
    ×Free survey arriving with a quote ready, often within 24 hours
    ×Pressure to sign 'before the offer expires'
    ×No written method statement, only a price
    ×Self-issued post-removal certificate (the same company signing off its own work)
    ×Combined installation and removal services from the same business

    Jan was extremely helpful. Talked us through the issues with spray foam very clearly and produced a detailed report with recommendations for next steps. He also followed up with an after sales call, and advised that he was there to help with any further advice that we may need. I would highly recommend.

    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.

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