What's included
What our Roof Spray Foam Removal includes
Every job is different, but most Taunton roof spray foam removals include the following as standard. If you need something extra, such as new insulation or a carpenter, we will tell you upfront and you can decide.
Free thermal survey
We inspect your roof space with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter. You get a written report showing where the foam is, what type it is, and whether there is any damp or rot. This is included at no cost.
Full foam extraction
We remove all accessible spray foam from the roof rafters, tiles and loft deck. We use dry ice blasting, sand blasting equipment or hand tools depending on the foam. An industrial vacuum extractor captures the debris as we work.
Timber condition check
Once the foam is off, we inspect the exposed timber for rot, damp and previous repairs. We photograph anything of concern and explain what it means. If structural work is needed, we recommend a trusted local carpenter.
Waste removal and disposal
We bag and remove all foam waste from your property. Where possible, we recycle or recover the material rather than sending it to landfill. You do not need to hire a skip or arrange disposal yourself.
Completion report
You receive a written report with before and after photos, moisture readings and a summary of the work. This is the document lenders and surveyors ask for. We also include a 5-year workmanship warranty on the removal.
Service overview
What Roof Spray Foam Removal in Taunton actually involves
Roof Spray Foam Removal in Taunton is the controlled extraction of sprayed polyurethane foam from the underside of roof tiles, rafters and loft decks. We do not just hack it out. We assess the foam type first, because open cell spray foam and closed cell spray foam behave differently. Open cell is softer and often comes away with dry ice blasting. Closed cell is denser and may need sand blasting equipment or an oscillating multi-tool to release it from timber. Every job starts with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter survey so we know what we are dealing with before we touch anything.
Most Taunton homeowners call us for one of three reasons. The first is a mortgage lender refusal due to spray foam, usually flagged during a valuation survey. The second is damp and condensation from trapped moisture, common in older Somerset properties where the roof was never designed to be sealed. The third is simple regret, because the insulation is not performing and the loft is unusable. If you need roof foam insulation removal in Taunton Somerset, we can usually survey within 48 hours and give you a fixed price the same day.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
Our Roof Spray Foam Removal process, step by step
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Free survey
We visit your Taunton property and inspect the roof space with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter. We identify the foam type, check for damp and rot, and measure the area. You get a written report and a fixed price within 24 hours. No charge, no obligation.
Site setup
On the day, we lay dust sheets, seal the loft hatch, and set up a dust extraction unit and air scrubber. If you are living in the property, we keep disruption to a minimum. Most jobs are done in one day, and we are usually out by late afternoon.
Foam extraction
We remove the foam using dry ice blasting, sand blasting equipment or hand tools depending on the foam type. An industrial vacuum extractor captures the debris as we go. The team wears full PPE respirator gear because isocyanate dust is not something to take lightly.
Timber inspection
Once the foam is off, we inspect the rafters and roof deck for rot, damp and previous repairs. We photograph everything. If we find rot, we tell you straight away and recommend a trusted carpenter. We do not carry out structural repairs ourselves.
Clean and report
We vacuum the loft, wipe down surfaces, and remove all waste. You get a completion report with before and after photos, plus a 5-year workmanship warranty on the removal. Most lenders accept this report as proof the foam has been properly extracted.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use for spray foam extraction
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Dry ice blasting machine
Freezes open cell spray foam so it becomes brittle and releases from timber without chemicals. Fast, clean, and safe for the roof structure.
Sand blasting equipment
Used on stubborn closed cell foam that resists other methods. Controlled media strips the foam back to bare timber without gouging the rafters.
Thermal imaging camera
Maps the foam and identifies damp patches or cold bridges before we start. Helps us give you an accurate fixed price.
Moisture meter
Reads the moisture content of roof timbers. We use it before and after extraction to confirm the roof is drying out properly.
Industrial vacuum extractor
Captures foam dust and debris at the source. Keeps your home clean and protects our team from isocyanate exposure.
Air scrubber
Filters the air in the loft while we work. Removes fine particles and keeps the atmosphere safe in enclosed spaces.
PPE respirator
Full-face respirators with appropriate filters. Essential when dealing with polyurethane foam dust and isocyanate particles.
Use cases
When to book Roof Spray Foam Removal in Taunton
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Damp loft dried out in Comeytrowe
A family in Comeytrowe had a musty smell in the loft and noticed damp patches on the rafters. The spray foam was closed cell and had been applied thickly, sealing the roof completely. Moisture readings were high, and there were early signs of timber rot. → We removed the closed cell foam using sand blasting equipment and hand tools. It took two days because the foam was dense and bonded hard. Once exposed, the timbers dried out over the following weeks. Moisture readings returned to normal, and the smell disappeared.
Cold loft fixed in Galmington
A homeowner in Galmington had spray foam installed to keep the loft warm, but the house was still cold and energy bills were high. The foam had gaps and cold bridges, so it was not performing. The loft was also unusable because of the mess. → We removed the foam in one day and installed mineral wool insulation to current standards. The loft temperature stabilised within a week, and the homeowner reported lower heating bills the following month. The space is now clean and usable for storage.
Problems we solve
Problems we solve with roof spray foam extraction in Taunton
Spray foam causes more problems than most homeowners realise. By the time you notice damp or a lender flags it, the foam has usually been in place for years. Here are the issues we fix most often in Taunton.
Mortgage lender refusal due to spray foam
We extract the foam, inspect the timbers, and provide a written report with photos. Most lenders accept this as proof the issue is resolved. We have been producing these reports since 2021 and have never had one rejected.
Damp and condensation from trapped moisture
Removing the foam lets the roof breathe again. We use a moisture meter to confirm the timber is drying out, and we can fit a vapour barrier or mineral wool insulation that performs correctly without sealing the roof.
Reduced property value and difficulty selling
A clean, foam-free roof removes the problem entirely. We provide documentation that shows the foam has been professionally removed, which reassures buyers and their solicitors. Many Taunton sales complete within weeks of extraction.
Ineffective insulation performance
Once the old foam is out, we can install mineral wool or Foilboard insulation that meets current standards. We follow PAS 2035 guidelines, so the new insulation is fitted correctly and performs as it should.
Pricing process
Roof Spray Foam Removal costs in Taunton
1,200 - 3,500 depending on scope
Roof size and access
A larger roof takes longer to clear. Difficult access, such as a steep pitch or a loft with limited headroom, adds time and equipment. We measure the area during the survey and price accordingly.
Foam type
Open cell foam is softer and usually comes away with dry ice blasting. Closed cell foam is denser and bonds harder to timber, so it takes longer and costs more. We identify the foam type during the survey.
Timber condition
If the foam has trapped moisture and caused rot, the timbers may need repair. We do not carry out structural work, but we will flag it and recommend a carpenter. This can affect your overall budget.
How much does roof spray foam removal cost in Taunton?
Most Taunton roof spray foam removal jobs cost between 1,200 and 3,500 in 2026. The price depends on the roof size, the foam type, and how easily it comes away from the timber. Open cell foam is usually cheaper to remove than closed cell. We give you a fixed price after a free survey, so you know exactly what you are paying before we start.

Can roof spray foam removal be done in winter in Taunton?
Yes. We remove spray foam all year round, including winter. Cold weather does not stop dry ice blasting or vacuum extraction.

It depends on your policy. Some insurers cover removal if the foam was installed incorrectly or is causing damp. Others treat it as a maintenance issue. Check your buildings insurance before booking.
