“I Thought I Was Saving Money. I Ended Up Losing My Buyer.”

The painful truth behind cheap spray foam removal quotes — and how free advice could save you thousands.

We spoke to a homeowner last month.

She had a buyer. A moving date.

Then the surveyor flagged the spray foam in her loft.


She panicked.

She found a company online offering a “quick removal” for £1,000. They told her it would only take two hours.

She signed. They removed it.


But there was no clean-up. No ventilation plan. No paperwork.

Her buyer pulled out. Her chain collapsed.

She called us, in tears.


She thought she was saving money.

Instead, she lost the sale. And had to pay twice to put things right.


❌ This Happens More Than You Think.

Because these “cheap quote” companies don’t tell you:


  • The job needs to be documented for your lender


  • Damaged timbers and membranes will delay things further



  • No evidence = no mortgage = no deal


They just remove it. Fast. Cheap. Done.

Except it’s not really done.
