Roof spray foam removal in Cheltenham done right

Dry ice blasting machine

Freezes and cracks closed cell foam off timbers without chemicals. Ideal for delicate or historic roof structures where abrasive methods are too risky.

Sand blasting equipment

Used on stubborn foam that won't shift with thermal tools. We control the abrasive mix to avoid scoring the timber underneath.

Thermal removal tools

Heated blades and probes soften foam before scraping. The gentlest option for thin or patchy foam on rafters.

Industrial vacuum and air scrubber

Captures dust and foam particles at source. The air scrubber keeps your living space clean while we work in the loft.

Boroscope and moisture meter

Used on every survey to check hidden corners and measure timber moisture. Tells us whether rot has started before we remove anything.

Thermal imaging camera

Confirms the loft is drying out after removal and reveals hidden damp patches that a visual check would miss.

Scaffolding and respirators

Scaffolding gives safe roof access for external work. Respirators protect our team from foam dust and any chemical residue.

Dry ice blasting

Compressed dry ice pellets freeze the foam surface, causing it to crack and release from the timber. No chemicals, no water, and no secondary waste beyond the foam itself. We use it on closed cell foam and on roofs where abrasive blasting would cause damage.

Thermal removal

Heated blades slice through softer open cell foam and lift it away from rafters. It's slower than blasting but gentler, and it works well in tight loft spaces where larger equipment won't fit.

Sand blasting

A controlled abrasive stream removes foam that's bonded hard to timber. We adjust the pressure and media to strip foam without gouging the wood, then vacuum the surface clean.

Ventilation restoration

After removal we check air bricks, soffit vents and roof voids. If foam has blocked them, we clear the obstruction and confirm airflow with a smoke test or thermal camera.
