Spray Foam Removal Certification

Lender-Compliant Assessment and Documentation

Why Certification Matters

After spray foam removal, you MUST obtain proper certification to satisfy mortgage lenders, insurers, and buyers. Without it, your removal work is essentially worthless for property transactions.

What Is Removal Certification?

Removal certification is an official document issued by a qualified surveyor or specialist that confirms:

  • All spray foam has been completely removed
  • Removal was performed using lender-approved manual methods
  • Timber condition has been assessed and documented
  • Any necessary repairs have been completed
  • The property now meets mortgage lending standards

What Must Be Included in Certification

Property Details

Full address and property description including roof type and structure

Removal Method Statement

Detailed description of manual removal process used and confirmation no mechanical/chemical methods employed

Timber Condition Report

Full inspection report documenting timber health, any damage found, and repairs completed

Photographic Evidence

Professional Credentials

Surveyor/specialist qualifications, insurance details, and company registration

Date & Signature

⚠️ Beware of Invalid Certificates

Not all removal certificates are accepted by lenders. Watch out for:

  • Self-certification from removal contractors (not independent)
  • Generic templates without property-specific details
  • Certificates without professional indemnity insurance backing
  • Documents lacking photographic evidence
  • Certifications from unqualified individuals
