About Spray Foam Removal Network

Dealing with foam issues in your home can be a complex task. You might need a spray foam removal or a loft spray foam removal. However, the Spray Foam Removal Network helps you manage this process.

Tell us about your spray foam once on the enquiry form. We check the details you provide to ensure accuracy. Then we pass them to one pre-qualified removal contractor who covers your area.

That contractor gets in touch with you directly to discuss the work. As a result, this model gives you one single quote after they see the job.

You should ask your contractor about their experience with your specific material. For example, you might need an open cell spray foam removal or a closed cell spray foam removal. You can also request a spray foam removal certificate for your records. This documentation may be useful for your property history and future sales.

Where we work

We cover the whole of the UK. Specifically, this includes England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can find more information by visiting our areas covered.

We do not have a physical office address. However, our service reaches every part of the country.

It is wise to confirm that your chosen contractor operates in your specific region. You may also need a spray foam survey to assess the current situation. Ask the contractor if they have worked in your local area before.

This helps you understand their familiarity with local building types. Similarly, you should also check if they have experience with your specific roof type.

How we work with you

Deciding whether to remove foam requires expert advice. This is because only specialist surveyors experienced in spray foam can tell you whether foam should be removed. The Property Care Association runs a Spray Foam Assessor Register of trained surveyors.

Their deputy chief executive said this has improved consistency in the assessment of installations. You can use the Property Care Association find-a-specialist tool to find help.

Lenders may also have specific requirements for your property. A GOV.UK page says the list of lenders can change. Lenders can contact correspondence@energysecurity.gov.uk to be added or to report a change in position. Because the list can change, you should ask your lender about their specific stance on foam.

When you prepare for a consultation, consider what you need. You might need a roof timber inspection and repair to check for damp. You might also require re-insulation after removal. We also assist with loft insulation removal and cavity wall insulation removal.

You should ask about health and safety during the process. HSE says the COSHH Regulations require employers to protect workers from isocyanate risks. These chemicals are found in polyurethane foams.

Spraying is a higher-risk task for workers, and isocyanate health effects include irritation, dermatitis and occupational asthma. You should ask your contractor how they manage these risks.

Getting in touch

If you require assistance, please take the next step. You can send an enquiry via our online form. We will then find the right professional for your job. This process allows you to get one single quote from one pre-qualified contractor.

Ask them about their specific methods and safety protocols. You should prepare any details about your insulation type before you speak to them. This helps the contractor provide an accurate assessment of your requirements.
