hello,
Does anyone know where I can purchase 24k gold foil and fine silver foil for Japanese inlay work? Based in the U.K. and my searches keep pulling up gold leaf which is too thin. Any info would be of much help. Thank you

Have a look at Cookson:

Thank you Dennis, those are still too thin. I’m hoping to find gold foil that is about 0.02mm and silver at 0.05mm
The only commercial source outside of Japan I can think of is momokoya.com - keum boo foil & gold leaf are, as you're already aware, far too thin for nunome zogan.
Otherwise it's a case of roll your own (and use a micrometer to check the thickness).
