The spray foam removal certificate, and the evidence pack behind it.

What does is documentation: a removal certificate backed by an independent inspection of your roof timbers, full photographic evidence and licensed waste disposal records. That's what every Go Green Quote job produces, and it's included in your all-inclusive quote.

The certificate
What is a spray foam removal certificate?
A spray foam removal certificate is the document that confirms the foam has been fully removed from your roof space by a professional, with the work carried out and recorded to the standard mortgage lenders expect. It covers spray foam wherever it was applied, on the roofline or as spray foam loft insulation over the floor. On its own, though, a single sheet of paper convinces nobody, which is why the certificate that matters is the one backed by evidence.
Because lenders refused to lend in the first place for one reason, their surveyor couldn't inspect the roof timbers, the paperwork that reverses the refusal has to prove two things: the foam is gone, and the structure underneath has been looked at by someone qualified. That's the difference between a certificate and an evidence pack.
The evidence pack
What's in a lender-ready evidence pack?
Every Go Green Quote removal produces the same documentation, because it's built into the process rather than bolted on afterwards:
- The removal certificate. Signed confirmation that every trace of foam was professionally removed, identifying the property, the dates and the specialists who did the work.
- An independent inspection of the roof timbers. Once the foam is off, the rafters and battens are inspected and their condition documented in writing, prepared to the standards chartered surveyors work to. This is the piece most cheap removals skip, and the piece lenders care about most.
- Before, during and after photographs. A full photographic record of the roofline, so your surveyor can see exactly what was removed and what the timbers look like underneath.
- Licensed waste disposal documentation. Spray foam is controlled waste, and the paperwork shows it left your property under a registered carrier's licence.
- Itemised invoices for any remedial work. If damp or timber damage was found and put right, the evidence goes in the pack.
Our guide to the documentation lenders need after removal covers how each piece gets used.
A common trap
Why your installation certificate doesn't help
Many homeowners have paperwork from when the foam went in: an installation certificate, a guarantee, sometimes a 25-year warranty. Here's the hard truth, and it surprises people: lenders mostly don't care. An installation certificate describes what was sprayed on. It says nothing about the condition of the timbers now, which is the question the valuer is actually asking.
The same trap catches people after removal. Pay for a cheap job with no inspection report and no photographic record, and your lender may still decline, because nothing in your hand answers their question. You'd be paying twice for one removal. If a lender has already refused you, our guide to getting a mortgage approved after spray foam walks through the way back.
Lender sign-off
How do lenders and surveyors use the pack?
When your application goes back in, the lender's valuer reviews the evidence pack alongside their own inspection. The certificate tells them the work was professional, the photographs show them the roofline, and the independent timber report answers the structural question that blocked the loan. With those three in place, the reason for refusal is gone, and most lenders will then treat the property normally. Which lenders take which approach is covered in our summary of where UK lenders stand on spray foam.
One honest caveat: no removal company can promise every lender's sign-off in advance, and you should be wary of any that do. Lender criteria differ and change. What we can promise is the complete, documented evidence that lenders and surveyors ask for, with nothing left for them to query, and a written no-fix-no-fee guarantee behind it: if your lender or surveyor isn't satisfied with the removal, we put it right at our cost.
Timing
How quickly can you get the certificate?
Speed matters when a sale or remortgage is waiting. Your free survey is usually next day, most removals take one to three days on site, and the certificate and evidence pack are issued once the post-removal inspection is complete, typically the same day the job finishes. A flagged sale can be back on track within a week or two, paperwork in hand.
The certificate and full evidence pack are included in every all-inclusive quote, alongside removal and licensed disposal. There's no separate certification fee. See our spray foam removal cost page for what drives the price.

1–3 days on siteLender-ready certificate
You get a signed removal certificate & full photographic record, exactly what mortgage lenders, surveyors and buyers need to sign off.
Same dayA joint RPSA and PCA investigation “failed to identify any circumstances” in which a spray-foamed roof could be given a clean bill of health while the foam is in place (RPSA, 2021). Documentation after removal is what restores a surveyor’s ability to sign off.
Many lending institutions, surveyors and property professionals are rightly concerned about the risks of defects that can occur as a result of poorly installed or inappropriate sprayed foam.
What you actually get
Not a magic certificate. The full evidence pack.
No removal company can promise every lender will say yes to a single piece of paper. What gets a decision reversed is proof, so that’s what we hand you on every job.
Complete removal
Every trace of foam stripped from the roofline, not skimmed or patched over. Waste bagged and taken away under our carrier’s licence.
Full photographic record
Before, during and after photos of the whole job, so your surveyor can see exactly what was done, and what the roof looks like underneath.
Roof & timber inspection
Once the foam’s off, the rafters and battens get checked over and any damp, rot or damage is documented in writing.
Repair invoices, where needed
If any remedial work is required, you get itemised invoices proving it was carried out, not just a promise it will be.
Independent written report
A clear written summary of the work and the condition of your roof. The paper trail lenders, surveyors and buyers actually ask to see.
A certificate is only as good as the proof behind it.
