About Us
Independent guidance for UK homeowners facing spray foam challenges
Who We Are
National Spray Foam Advice is the UK's leading independent advisory service for homeowners dealing with spray foam insulation issues. We are not installers, removal contractors, or affiliated with any commercial entity. We exist solely to provide honest, unbiased guidance to homeowners navigating the complex challenges created by spray foam insulation.
Founded in response to the growing spray foam crisis affecting thousands of UK properties, we recognized that homeowners needed a trusted, independent source of information—free from sales pressure and conflicting interests.
The Problem We're Solving
Spray foam insulation was heavily promoted as an energy-efficient solution, with thousands of installations funded by government schemes like the Green Homes Grant. However, it has created unforeseen problems:
- •Major mortgage lenders refusing applications on properties with spray foam
- •Insurance companies declining coverage due to foam-related risks
- •Property values dropping by £20,000-£50,000 or more
- •Homeowners unable to sell, remortgage, or access equity release
- •Hidden timber damage and moisture problems going undetected
Homeowners facing these issues often receive conflicting advice from installers (who defend their work), removal companies (who may overcharge), and surveyors (who lack removal expertise). This confusion leaves people feeling helpless and financially trapped.
Our Approach
100% Independent
We have no financial ties to installers, removal companies, or any commercial entity in the spray foam industry. Our advice is based purely on what's best for your situation—whether that's removal, remediation, or keeping the foam in place.
Evidence-Based Guidance
Our recommendations are grounded in current lender policies, insurance requirements, building regulations, and industry best practices. We stay updated on changing standards and guidance from organizations like the Property Care Association (PCA).
Transparent Information
We provide clear, honest information about costs, processes, and realistic outcomes. We don't sugarcoat challenges, hide expenses, or make promises we can't keep.

When removal is necessary, we connect homeowners with thoroughly vetted specialists who meet lender standards, carry proper insurance, and have proven track records. We don't take commissions—we simply facilitate introductions.
