Are there grants for spray foam removal?

What the government has said about paying for removal, and the routes that can help if your foam was fitted under a scheme.

Checked 6 Nov 2026

There is no general government grant for spray foam removal. In March 2026, Homebuilding & Renovating reported that the government will not give direct financial help to pay for removal.

If your foam was fitted under ECO or GBIS

Officials said any household with a measure fitted under the ECO or Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) schemes is entitled to have non-compliant work, including spray foam, put right by the original installer. All measures fitted under those schemes must come with a guarantee.

  1. Find your paperwork. The installation contract, the guarantee, and any product certificate such as a BBA certificate.
  2. Contact the original installer and ask them to put the work right.
  3. If they won't or can't, use the guarantee provider, the installer's certification body or TrustMark's complaints process.

If you paid for it privately

Check whether the installer gave you a guarantee, and whether the company still trades. If the installer has closed, the guarantee provider may still be able to help.

Other ways to spread the cost

  • Some removal firms offer finance. Check the interest rate and terms carefully.
  • If you're releasing equity, some lifetime mortgages have allowed the foam to be removed after the money is released. See equity release and spray foam.
Be wary of anyone offering "free government removal". The Property Care Association has warned about cold callers using fake ID and false claims to sell unnecessary removal work.
