About this service

What Attic Spray Foam Removal in Weston super Mare Involves

Attic Spray Foam Removal in Weston super Mare is the controlled stripping of cured polyurethane foam from the underside of roof tiles, rafters and felt, followed by cleaning, drying and reinstating ventilation. Foam is cut back with a spray foam removal saw or oscillating multi-tool, pried off timber battens, then the dust and residue are captured with an industrial vacuum. We inspect the roof space with a thermal imaging camera before and after, because foam that looks sound on the surface often hides damp felt underneath.

Most Weston super Mare lofts we open up were foamed between 2008 and 2016, when spray foam was pushed as a cheap insulation fix. On the seafront side of town, driving rain and salt air push moisture into roof voids, and closed cell foam traps it against the timbers. That is why attic spray foam extraction Weston super Mare homeowners search for is usually a moisture problem, not an insulation problem. Left alone, trapped water rots rafters and kills roof ventilation.

What's included

What Our Attic Foam Removal Includes

Every removal job includes the survey, protection, extraction, cleaning and the lender report. New insulation is optional and priced separately, so you only pay for it if you want it.

✓

Free Thermal Survey

We inspect the loft with a thermal imaging camera, check rafter moisture with a meter, and identify whether you have open cell or closed cell foam. You get photographs and a fixed written quote the same day.

✓

Full Dust Protection

Dust sheets through the house, a sealed loft hatch and negative air pressure keep debris out of your living space. We wear respirators and protective clothing and work to COSHH regulations on every visit.

✓

Foam Extraction and Cleaning

Foam is cut with a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool, then lifted by hand where it has bonded. We finish with an industrial vacuum and dry ice blasting on delicate felt.

✓

Ventilation Restored

We clear the 50mm air gap between insulation and roof covering and check eaves vents are open. A thermal imaging pass confirms airflow before we sign the job off.

✓

Dated Removal Report

You receive a dated report with before-and-after photographs and moisture readings, formatted for mortgage lenders and surveyors. We can send it straight to your broker if you prefer.

✓

Waste Disposal

All foam and contaminated material is bagged and removed through licensed waste routes. Nothing is left in your loft or fly-tipped, and you get the waste transfer note.

How it works

How Our Foam Removal Process Works

01

Survey

We attend your property, usually within 48 hours of your call, and inspect the loft with a thermal imaging camera. We identify open cell or closed cell foam, check rafter moisture, and photograph everything. You get a written fixed quote the same day, with no charge for the survey.

02

Protection

On the day, our technicians lay dust sheets through the house, seal the loft hatch, and set up negative air pressure so dust travels out, not down into your bedrooms. We wear respirators and protective clothing and work to COSHH regulations throughout. Setup takes around 45 minutes.

03

Foam Removal

Foam is cut with a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool, then lifted off rafters and felt by hand where it has bonded. We use a dry ice blasting machine on delicate felt and a sand blasting rig on stubborn patches. A typical three-bedroom semi takes one to two days.

04

Clean and Dry

Every surface is vacuumed with an industrial vacuum, then wiped down. We leave ventilation open and, where moisture readings are high, run drying equipment for 24 to 48 hours. You get before-and-after thermal images showing the timbers and air gaps.

05

Report and Reinsulate

We issue a dated removal report with photographs, suitable for lenders and surveyors. If you want new insulation, we fit mineral wool or rigid insulation boards with a vapour barrier, keeping the roof ventilation path clear. Most lofts are finished within a week of the survey.

Tools & methods

Tools and Methods We Use

Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.

Spray foam removal saw

Cuts cured foam into manageable blocks without tearing the felt underneath. It is our first tool on almost every loft job.

Oscillating multi-tool

Gets into rafter bays and around trusses where a full saw will not fit. Essential for closed cell foam bonded hard to timber.

Dry ice blasting machine

Lifts foam residue off fragile felt and old timber without water or harsh chemicals. We use it where the roof covering cannot be replaced.

Industrial vacuum

Captures dust and foam fragments at source. Combined with negative air pressure, it keeps debris out of your living space.

Thermal imaging camera

Shows moisture behind foam and confirms airflow after removal. Every job gets a before-and-after thermal pass.

Respirator and protective clothing

Standard kit for every technician on site, worn under COSHH regulations whenever foam is being cut or vacuumed.

Real results

Before and after.

Mortgage Refusal Cleared in Milton

Before

A three-bedroom semi in Milton had closed cell foam sprayed across every rafter. The buyer's lender refused the mortgage outright, and the chain was days from collapsing. Rafter moisture readings sat between 21 and 24 percent.

After

We removed the foam over two days, dried the timbers and restored the eaves air gap. Final readings came back at 11 to 13 percent. The dated report went to the lender, and the sale completed three weeks later.

Damp Ceiling Fixed in Worle

Before

A landlord in Worle had a recurring damp stain on a bedroom ceiling. Two roofers had looked at the tiles and found nothing wrong. The real cause was open cell foam trapping condensation against the felt.

After

We stripped the foam in a single day, vacuumed the void and reopened the ventilation path. Thermal images showed the felt drying within 48 hours. The ceiling was repainted a fortnight later and has stayed dry through two winters.

Chemical Smell Gone in Uphill

Before

Foam had been in an Uphill loft for around ten years. The upstairs bedrooms had a faint chemical smell that got worse in warm weather, and the family had stopped using two of the rooms.

After

We removed the foam, gave every surface a full industrial vacuum and left the loft ventilating for 48 hours. The smell cleared within two days. The family moved back into both bedrooms the following week.
