Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam Removal in Bridgwater strips failed spray foam insulation off roof timbers, rafters and loft ceilings without water, chemicals or mess. If a surveyor has flagged your foam, your mortgage lender has stalled, or damp is tracking down your rafters, we can help. Our Bridgwater team uses dry ice blasting foam removal to get timbers back to bare, breathable wood so your roof can dry out and your sale can move.
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam Removal in Bridgwater is a non-abrasive cleaning method that fires soft dry ice pellets at the foam at supersonic speed. The pellets hit the polyurethane foam, freeze it to around -78°C, and the foam turns brittle and pops off the timber. Because there is no water, grit or chemical stripper, your roof timber stays dry and your loft does not flood. We use a dry ice blasting machine paired with an industrial vacuum extraction unit and air scrubber to catch every fragment as it comes off.
Most foam we remove in Bridgwater was installed between the 1990s and 2010s as cheap loft insulation. It traps moisture against roof timber, blocks loft ventilation, and hides rot until a surveyor spots it. If you are buying or selling in Eastover or Hamp, a lender can refuse a mortgage the moment spray foam is flagged. Dry ice blasting insulation removal Bridgwater gives you a clean, documented removal that satisfies surveyors, and it is far quicker than scraping foam off by hand.
Every dry ice blasting spray foam removal job includes the survey, protection, blasting, vacuum extraction, timber inspection and clean down. We do not charge extra for disposal or documentation. If your job needs additional ventilation work or re-insulation afterwards, we quote that separately and clearly.
We inspect your loft with a boroscope inspection camera and moisture meter, check for roof timber rot, and measure the foam area. You get a written fixed price the same day, usually within two hours.
Protective sheeting, sealed loft hatch, industrial vacuum extraction unit and air scrubber keep foam fragments and dust out of your living space. We also run a negative air machine to maintain airflow.
Our technician blasts the foam off every rafter, purlin and ridge board using a dry ice blasting machine. We work methodically so no foam is missed, and we check progress with a thermal imaging camera as we go.
After blasting we inspect every timber and record moisture readings. Any structural timber decay is photographed and written up so you can pass it to your surveyor, lender or builder.
You get before-and-after photographs and a written removal certificate confirming the foam has been removed. Lenders and surveyors accept this document for mortgage reinstatement.
We vacuum the loft, wipe down surfaces and remove all sheeting before we leave. Most customers say the loft looks cleaner after we finish than it did before we started.
We visit your property, inspect the foam with a boroscope inspection camera and moisture meter, and check for roof timber rot from trapped moisture. You get a written fixed price the same day, usually within two hours of the visit. No charge for the survey.
On day one we lay protective sheeting, seal the loft hatch, and rig the industrial vacuum extraction unit and air scrubber. Negative air machine keeps dust and foam fragments out of your living space. Setup takes 60 to 90 minutes.
Our technician works rafter by rafter with the dry ice blasting machine, freezing the polyurethane foam and lifting it clean. A 40m² loft takes six to ten hours of blasting, split across one or two days depending on access and foam thickness.
Once the foam is off, we inspect every rafter with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter. Any structural timber decay gets flagged in writing with photographs. We also check the vapour barrier and breathable membrane for damage.

Used carefully to cut away stubborn foam around pipes, cables and tight rafter junctions.
Brought in selectively for very hard closed cell foam where dry ice blasting alone would be too slow.
A three-bed terrace in Eastover had open cell spray foam sprayed across every rafter in 2011. The buyer's surveyor flagged it, the mortgage was refused, and moisture readings on the rafters sat at 22%. The loft hatch was narrow and the roof felt was fragile.
We blasted the foam off over two days using smaller nozzles to protect the felt. Moisture readings dropped to 14% within a week. The lender accepted our removal certificate and photographs, and the sale completed four weeks later.
A 1930s semi in Wembdon had closed cell spray foam right up to the ridge board, installed in 2008. The owner had damp patches on the upstairs ceiling and a musty smell in the loft. A boroscope inspection found early rot on two rafters near the ridge.
Dry ice blasting removed the foam in two days. We flagged the rot in writing and the owner had it treated before it spread. Ceiling damp patches stopped returning within three weeks, and the loft smelled neutral again.
A landlord with two rental properties in Sydenham had spray foam in both lofts. The insurer had asked for proof of removal before renewing cover, and tenants were complaining about cold spots in the bedrooms below.
We cleared both lofts on consecutive days, one day each. The insurer accepted our documentation, cover was renewed without exclusions, and the tenants reported warmer bedrooms the following winter.
Spray foam causes more problems than most homeowners realise. Here are the ones we see most often in Bridgwater lofts, and how dry ice blasting fixes them.
Ask a pro →We remove the foam with dry ice blasting, photograph every rafter, and issue a removal certificate your lender accepts. Most Bridgwater sales we unblock complete within four to six weeks of the foam coming off.
Dry ice blasting lifts the foam without adding water, so timbers start drying immediately. We check every rafter with a moisture meter and boroscope, and flag any rot in writing so you can get it treated before it spreads.
Once the foam is off, air can move through the loft again. We check the vapour barrier and breathable membrane, and advise on ventilation improvements so the damp does not come back.
A documented dry ice blasting removal gives you proof the foam is gone. We provide the photographs and certificate your insurer needs, and we can speak to them directly if they have questions.
Most Bridgwater lofts cost between £1,800 and £4,500 in 2026, depending on loft size, foam thickness and access. A typical 40m² semi-detached loft sits around £2,400 to £3,200. Larger detached roofs, cavity wall foam or heavy closed cell spray foam push the price higher. You get a fixed written quote after a free survey, so there is no hourly rate risk.
It is a cleaning method that uses dry ice pellets fired at supersonic speed to freeze and lift spray foam insulation off roof timbers. The pellets hit the foam at around -78°C, making it brittle so it pops off without water or chemicals. We then vacuum every fragment with an industrial vacuum extraction unit and air scrubber, leaving bare, breathable timber.
Yes. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, so it does not gouge or scratch softwood rafters the way sand blasting equipment can. It also leaves no water behind, which matters because wet timber encourages rot. We inspect every rafter with a boroscope inspection camera and moisture meter after blasting, and flag any structural timber decay in writing.
A typical 40m² Bridgwater loft takes one to two days on site, including setup, blasting, vacuum extraction and clean down. Larger roofs or heavy closed cell spray foam can take three days. We give you a clear start and finish date at quote stage, and we do not leave a job half-finished overnight.
