About Us

Spray foam surveys, removal quotes and the report afterwards, for homeowners in England, Scotland and Wales

Who We Are

National Spray Foam Advice is a survey and removal-quote service for homeowners with spray foam insulation. We arrange a specialist survey, get you quotes from vetted removal specialists if the foam needs to come out, and make sure you get the report your lender will ask for afterwards.

We don't install spray foam and we don't carry out removal ourselves. Where the honest answer is that your foam can stay, the survey report will say so.

What We Do

1. A specialist survey first

The government's October 2026 paper on spray foam tells homeowners to take advice from a specialist surveyor before deciding anything about their foam. That is where we start. What a spray foam survey looks at.

2. Removal quotes, only if you need them

If the foam needs to come out, we introduce you to removal specialists we have checked: insurance, removal method, and the paperwork they hand over at the end. How removal is done.

3. The report afterwards

Certificates are signed off by an independent RICS surveyor. To date, no lender has rejected a certificate we have issued. What the certificate contains.

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 do not pay us for the survey request, the quotes or the guides. Because we are paid for introductions, we tell you so here and beside every form on the site, so you can weigh what we say with that in mind.

Who Runs National Spray Foam Advice

Spray Foam Removal Advice and National Spray Foam Advice are run by Harber Glaves Trading Ltd (company number 16605946), Unit A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Bury St Edmunds, IP28 7DE. Harber Glaves Trading Ltd was called Better Home Hub Ltd until October 2026.

The two sites do different jobs. Our sister site, Spray Foam Removal Advice, is the guide: it tracks lender policies, explains government guidance and covers costs in depth. National Spray Foam Advice is the service: the survey, the removal quotes and the report.

Phone 03330 908 569 is the group line for both sites. Email us at info@nationalsprayfoamadvice.co.uk.

Who Writes Our Guides

Jake Harber

Spray foam removal adviser

Jake Harber runs Spray Foam Removal Advice and National Spray Foam Advice with Tristan Glaves. Before the sites, he carried out spray foam removal for removal companies, so he knows from the loft what removal involves, what the timbers look like once the foam is off, and where jobs go wrong. He writes and checks the guides.

Why Spray Foam Causes Problems

Spray foam insulation was widely promoted as an energy-saving measure. For many homeowners it has since caused problems:

  • •Some mortgage lenders decline homes with spray foam, because it stops a surveyor seeing the roof timbers. Lender policies vary.
  • •Some insurers ask questions about it or decline cover
  • •Sales and remortgages stall while the foam is investigated
  • •Timber damage and moisture problems can go unnoticed underneath

Homeowners often get conflicting advice from installers, removal companies and surveyors. A specialist survey gives you a written answer about your own roof before you spend money on removal.

Our Commitment to You

We will never:

  • ✗Push you toward removal you don't need
  • ✗Promise that a lender will lend: that decision is the lender's
  • ✗Charge you for the guides on this site

We will always:

  • ✓Tell you how we are paid
  • ✓Tell you when the survey says your foam can stay
  • ✓Introduce you only to removal specialists we have checked
