What's included
What Our Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam Removal Includes
Every Taunton job includes the survey, containment, blasting, extraction, cleanup and a written report. Replacement insulation is quoted separately, so you only pay for what you actually need.
Full Foam Survey
Thermal imaging camera and moisture meter readings, foam type identification and a written report on timber condition. This is what your lender or surveyor will ask for.
Containment and Dust Control
Sheeting, air scrubber and dust extraction unit set up before blasting starts. We protect your loft hatch, carpets and neighbouring rooms throughout the job.
Dry Ice Blasting and Extraction
The full removal itself, using the dry ice blasting machine plus hand tools for edges. Debris is bagged and removed from site by licensed waste carriers.
Moisture Testing After Removal
We re-test the timber with a moisture meter once the foam is off, so you know whether the roof structure is sound or needs further work.
Photographic Evidence Pack
Before-and-after photographs of every elevation, formatted for mortgage lenders and surveyors. Most Taunton valuations are signed off without a second visit.
Replacement Insulation Quote
Optional quote for mineral wool, Kingspan or Rockwool boards fitted to PAS 2035 standards. We only recommend it if the roof space actually needs it.
Service overview
What Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam Removal in Taunton Involves
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam Removal in Taunton uses compressed dry ice pellets fired at -78.5C to freeze and shatter cured polyurethane foam without gouging the timber or plasterboard underneath. The pellets sublimate on impact, so there is no sand blasting media to sweep up, no water damage and no chemical residue. We pair the blasting machine with an industrial vacuum extractor and dust extraction unit to capture every fragment as it comes off the rafters.
Taunton homeowners call us when a mortgage lender refuses to lend on a property with spray foam in the roof, or when trapped moisture has started to rot the roof timbers. If you have been searching for dry ice blasting foam insulation removal Taunton Somerset, we cover the whole town and surrounding villages. We also handle dry ice blasting spray foam removal Taunton cost questions upfront before we start.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
How Our Spray Foam Extraction Process Works
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Survey and Quote
We inspect the foam with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter, check the timber for rot and confirm whether it is open cell or closed cell. You get a fixed price the same day, usually within two hours of the visit.
Containment Setup
We sheet the loft hatch, seal doorways and set up the air scrubber and dust extraction unit. Neighbouring rooms stay clean, and the PPE respirator and full containment mean no isocyanate dust drifts through the house.
Dry Ice Blasting
The dry ice blasting machine fires pellets at the foam until it cracks and lifts. A two-man team clears roughly 8 to 12 square metres per hour on open cell foam, slower on dense closed cell polyurethane.
Extraction and Cleanup
The industrial vacuum extractor pulls the debris straight into sealed bags. We hand-finish edges with the oscillating multi-tool, then sweep and hoover the whole roof space before we pack up.
Report and Handover
You get before-and-after photographs, a moisture reading for the timber and a written summary for your lender or surveyor. We also quote for replacement insulation such as mineral wool or Kingspan boards if you want it.
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
Fires dry ice pellets at -78.5C to freeze and shatter cured polyurethane foam without cutting into the timber underneath.
Industrial vacuum extractor
Captures foam fragments and dust as they come off the rafters, keeping the loft and the rest of the house clean.
Thermal imaging camera
Finds hidden moisture, cold bridges and areas where foam has failed or been applied unevenly.
Moisture meter
Gives a precise timber moisture reading before and after removal, which is the number lenders and surveyors want to see.
Reciprocating saw and oscillating multi-tool
Hand-finishes stubborn foam at eaves, valleys and around services where the blasting machine cannot reach.
Air scrubber and dust extraction unit
Keeps airborne dust and isocyanate particles under control during blasting, especially in occupied homes.
PPE respirator
Protects our technicians from foam dust and off-gassing, and reassures homeowners that the job is being handled properly.
Use cases
When You Need Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam Removal
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
1960s Semi in Galmington
Open cell foam had been sprayed over the loft floor and up the roof slope, blocking ventilation. The homeowner had mould on the ceiling and a heating bill that kept climbing. → The foam came off in a single day. We replaced the failed vapour barrier and fitted Kingspan boards to PAS 2035 standards. The loft is now dry and noticeably warmer.
Warehouse Roof near Norton Fitzwarren
A 400 square metre metal roof deck covered in closed cell foam that was trapping condensation and causing surface rust along the purlins. → Dry ice blasting cleared the foam over a weekend with no water used, so the rust did not spread. The deck was clean and dry and ready for a modern insulated roof system.
Problems we solve
Spray Foam Problems We Solve for Taunton Homeowners
Spray foam was sold as a quick fix, but in Taunton's older housing stock it often causes more problems than it solves. Here are the issues we deal with most often.
Mortgage lender refusal due to spray foam
We remove the foam with dry ice blasting and provide the photographic evidence and moisture readings your lender needs. Most Taunton cases are resolved within two weeks of the survey.
Damp and condensation from trapped moisture
Dry ice blasting strips the foam without adding water, then we test the timber and replace any vapour barrier that has failed. We can fit breathable insulation so the roof dries out properly.
Roof timber rot and structural damage
We survey with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera, blast the foam off, and tell you honestly whether the timber is sound or needs a carpenter. Our reports flag exactly what needs replacing.
Difficulty selling the property
We clear the foam, document the whole job and hand you a report you can show buyers. A clean, breathable roof space removes the main objection and gets the sale moving again.
Pricing process
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam Removal Costs in Taunton
1,800 - 4,500 pounds for a residential loft; 6,000 pounds upwards for commercial roofs
Foam type
Open cell foam blasts off quickly and costs less per square metre. Closed cell polyurethane is denser and bonded harder to the timber, so it takes longer and costs more.
Roof area and pitch
A 40 square metre loft is a one-day job. A 100 square metre roof with a steep pitch or multiple valleys can take three days or more, which affects the price.
Access and height
Tight loft hatches, restricted parking and tall roofs all slow the job down. We assess access at the survey so there are no surprises on the day.
How much does dry ice blasting spray foam removal cost in Taunton?
Typical 2026 pricing in Taunton runs from 1,800 to 4,500 pounds for a standard loft, depending on foam type and access. Closed cell foam costs more because it is denser and slower to blast. Larger roofs, difficult access and asbestos checks push the figure higher. We give you a fixed price after a free survey.
Who does dry ice blasting foam insulation removal in Taunton Somerset?

Is dry ice blasting safe for spray foam removal in Taunton?
Yes. Dry ice blasting is one of the safest methods because it uses no water, no solvents and no abrasive media. The pellets sublimate on contact, so there is nothing left to react with the timber. We still use a PPE respirator and air scrubber to control dust, and we test the timber with a moisture meter afterwards.
Can dry ice blasting foam removal be done same day in Taunton?
Yes for smaller lofts. A single loft of 30 to 40 square metres can be surveyed and blasted in one day if you book an early slot. Larger roofs and commercial units usually take two to three days. We confirm the schedule when you call, and we can often fit urgent lender deadlines.
