Spray Foam Removal by Trusted Specialists
National Spray Foam Advice sources quotes and comparisons from vetted, expert spray foam insulation removal companies, saving you precious time and providing peace of mind.
Independent Spray Foam Removal Advice & Trusted Referrals
Looking for a spray foam removal quote you can trust? The UK market is unregulated — any firm can advertise roof insulation foam removal. We’re an independent advice centre (not a remover). We introduce you to vetted specialists who carry out manual spray foam removal on rafters and timbers and issue a lender-accepted spray foam removal certificate. No spam calls.
Who We Are (Not A Removal Company)
NSFA is an independent advice centre. We don’t remove foam; we refer you to trusted spray foam removal companies with proven results. You receive surveys, quotes and all documents directly from the specialist. Because polyurethane foam removal isn’t regulated, using our vetted network reduces risk and speeds up lender approval.
We’re not tied to one contractor. We match you to a UK spray foam removal specialist based on property type, location and timeline.
Manual-only methods, thorough clean-down of rafters and sarking, lender-friendly paperwork and consistent outcomes.
One to two introductions max. You control who you speak to and when.
Why Remove Spray Foam?
Lenders and equity release providers commonly halt applications while foam is present on the underside of roof tiles. Surveyors flag moisture/ventilation issues and advise buyers to avoid. Removing spray foam insulation with proper evidence gets chains moving again.
Most cases require full foam removal and a lender-accepted certificate before funds are released.
Reduces surveyor red flags and fall-through risk; improves buyer confidence and valuation stability.
Restores breathability, allows ventilation upgrades and enables compliant re-insulation.
Don’t Get Scammed — It’s An Unregulated Market
Spray foam removal is unregulated in the UK. Any firm can claim expertise. Avoid failures and upsells by coming through NSFA for trusted, manual spray foam removal specialists.
- Residue left on rafters → lender rejection after re-inspection.
- Push for unnecessary re-roofing due to higher margins.
- Vague or incorrect “certificates” lenders won’t accept.
- Pre-vetted removal firms with demonstrable results.
- Manual polyurethane foam removal; careful residue checks and making-good.
- Lender-ready documentation: photo log + certificate with clear wording.
How The Removal Works (Through Our Trusted Specialists)

What You Receive After Removal

Costs (Transparent UK Guide)
Prices vary by area (m²), access, pitch, obstacles, protection/boarding time, making-good and waste handling. Get a spray foam removal quote matched to your roof.
£50–£60 per m². Faster to remove but still requires careful manual work and clean-down of timbers and fixings.
£75–£95 per m². Denser and slower to remove; often needs more making-good and detailed residue checks.
Do You Really Need A New Roof?
Some companies encourage re-roofing because it has higher profit margins, not because your roof needs replacing. In most cases, a manual roof foam removal and ventilation improvement is correct.
Removal typically £3,000–£6,000 vs re-roofing at £12,000–£20,000+.
Only if there’s genuine structural failure or severe rot confirmed by inspection.
After Removal: Re-Insulation & Ventilation
Once PU foam removal is complete and the roof is clean, plan compliant re-insulation and ventilation with your specialist.
Mineral wool on the loft floor is commonly recommended for breathability and compliance.
Soffit vents, baffles and unblocked air paths maintain a healthy roof space.
Agree minor remedials and finishing before final payment to the contractor.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
It’s an unregulated market — competency and paperwork vary. Use vetted spray foam removal specialists.
“Quick fixes” often leave residue; lenders reject at re-inspection, delaying sale or remortgage.
Demand evidence of structural failure before considering a new roof.
Make sure snags are resolved and you’ve received the certificate and photo log.
