How we work with you

Lenders may have specific rules regarding foam insulation in your home. However, the same GOV.UK page says the list can change. Lenders can contact correspondence@energysecurity.gov.uk to be added or to report a change in position.

Only specialist surveyors experienced in spray foam can tell you whether foam should be removed. The GOV.UK page points to the Property Care Association find-a-specialist tool. It also links to a RICS online article on spray foam.

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 might need a spray foam survey to confirm the state of your roof.

Before you book a job, prepare some basic information. For example, you should know the type of foam currently installed. A professional might also need to perform a roof timber inspection and repair to check for moisture.

Prepare for the spraying itself because the HSE says COSHH Regulations require employers to protect workers from isocyanate risks. Polyurethane foams contain these chemicals.

Spraying is a higher-risk task. For example, health effects include irritation, dermatitis and occupational asthma.

If foam is removed, you may require re-insulation after removal. We also assist with loft insulation removal and cavity wall insulation removal.
