About this service
Sand blasting spray foam insulation removal in Weston super Mare, Somerset
Sand blasting spray foam insulation removal in Weston super Mare, Somerset, uses a controlled abrasive blasting process to break down polyurethane foam that has been sprayed onto roof timbers, rafters and loft boards. Unlike scraping or cutting, the abrasive stream gets into the grain of the timber and the gaps between battens, lifting foam that has bonded hard. We follow with an industrial vacuum and a spray foam removal saw for the thicker sections, then inspect every rafter with a thermal imaging camera to confirm nothing is left behind.
Most Weston super Mare properties we attend have the same story: spray foam was installed years ago, the roof cannot breathe, and now there is condensation dripping onto the ceiling or a surveyor has refused a mortgage. The foam itself is not always the problem, it is the trapped moisture underneath it. Sand blasting foam removal Weston super Mare gives you a clean roof structure that can be re-insulated properly with insulation boards, timber battens and a vapour barrier, so your loft performs the way it should.
- ✓ Mortgage and sale ready
- ✓ Stops rot and condensation
- ✓ Cleaner than scraping
- ✓ Ready for correct insulation

How it works
How our spray foam removal process works
01
Free survey
We visit your Weston super Mare property, inspect the loft or roof space, and identify whether the foam is open cell or closed cell. We check for condensation, timber rot and reduced roof ventilation, take moisture readings, and give you a fixed price the same day. No charge for the survey.
02
Site protection
Before any blasting starts, we seal doorways, lay dust sheets and set up negative air pressure so foam dust cannot travel into the rest of the house. Our technicians wear full protective clothing and respirators, and we work to COSHH regulations for handling and containing the waste.
03
Abrasive blasting
Using a dry ice blasting machine and sand blasting equipment, we break the foam off rafters, battens and roof deck. Thicker patches come away with a spray foam removal saw and an oscillating multi-tool. A thermal imaging camera guides us to hidden pockets so nothing is missed.
04
Extraction and clean
An industrial vacuum pulls the debris out of the loft as we go. We bag the waste, remove it from site, and sweep the timbers down. Most lofts are clean and walkable within a few hours of blasting finishing, and we leave the space ready for your next insulation stage.
05
Report and rebuild
We hand over a written summary of what was removed, with photos of the cleaned timbers. If you want, we can then install insulation boards, timber battens and a vapour barrier to bring the roof up to standard. That report is what your lender or buyer will want to see.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Dry ice blasting machine
Used on delicate or historic timbers where abrasive media could cause damage. The dry ice sublimates on contact, leaving no residue and less clean-up.
Sand blasting equipment
The main tool for bonded closed cell foam. It strips foam from rafters, battens and roof deck quickly, and gets into the grain where hand tools cannot reach.
Spray foam removal saw
Cuts through thick sections of foam before blasting, reducing the volume of material and speeding up the job on large roofs.
Oscillating multi-tool
Used for precision work around roof vents, pipework and tight corners where a saw or blaster cannot safely reach.
Industrial vacuum
Captures foam dust and debris at source, keeping the rest of your home clean and protecting our technicians from airborne particles.
Thermal imaging camera
Reveals hidden foam pockets and damp patches behind timbers, so we can confirm the roof is fully cleared before we finish.
Respirator and protective clothing
Full PPE for every technician on site, in line with COSHH regulations for handling polyurethane foam waste.
Real results
Before and after.
Worle loft cleared for mortgage
Before
A three-bed semi in Worle had closed cell foam sprayed across every rafter. The buyer's surveyor flagged it, the lender withheld 15,000 pounds, and the sale was on hold. The loft had a musty smell and condensation on the roof felt.
After
We blasted the foam off in a day and a half, extracted the debris and cleaned the timbers. Moisture readings dropped from 22% to 12% within a week. The lender received our report and released the retention.
Uphill condensation fixed
Before
A detached house in Uphill had open cell foam in the loft and water dripping onto the landing ceiling every winter. The plasterboard was stained and the insulation below was soaked. The owner had been told the roof needed replacing.
After
We removed the foam, dried the timbers and restored airflow through the roof. The dripping stopped within days. We then fitted insulation boards and a vapour barrier, and the loft has stayed dry through two winters since.
Town Centre rental back to market
Before
A landlord in Weston-super-Mare Town Centre could not remortgage a rental flat because of spray foam in the roof space. Two lenders had already declined. The foam was thick closed cell and had started to pull away from the rafters.
After
Our team removed the foam with abrasive blasting and a spray foam removal saw, cleaned the timbers and issued a photo report. The remortgage completed four weeks later, and the flat was re-let at full market rent.
