About this service
What Spray Foam Removal near me in Carlisle Involves
Spray Foam Removal near me in Carlisle is the controlled cutting, extraction and disposal of cured polyurethane foam from roof timbers, loft decks, cavity walls and commercial roofs. We use a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool to slice the foam away from rafters without gouging the timber, then an industrial vacuum and air scrubber to capture dust and isocyanate particles at source. Dry ice blasting and abrasive blasting media handle the stubborn residue that hand tools cannot reach.
Carlisle homeowners call us for three main reasons: a mortgage lender has flagged spray foam on a survey, loft condensation is soaking the rafters, or a DIY foam job has gone wrong. If you need spray foam extraction near me Carlisle Cumbria, we survey the loft, check for roof timber rot with a thermal imaging camera, and quote a fixed price before any cutting starts.

How it works
How Our Spray Foam Extraction Process Works
01
Loft Survey
We inspect the loft, measure foam coverage, and check rafters with a thermal imaging camera for hidden damp or rot. You get a written fixed price the same day, usually within 2 hours of the visit.
02
Site Protection
Dust sheets go down, the hatch is sealed, and a negative air machine is set up to pull dust away from the house. This takes about 45 minutes and keeps the rest of your Carlisle home clean.
03
Foam Extraction
We cut the foam into manageable strips with a spray foam removal saw, then lift it out by hand. An industrial vacuum captures loose debris. A typical 60 square metre loft takes 1 to 2 days.
04
Residue Cleaning
Dry ice blasting removes the last film of polyurethane from the timber faces without abrasives. Where foam has bonded to cables or pipework, we switch to hand tools and careful scraping.
05
Final Check and Report
We photograph every rafter, confirm the loft is clear, and issue a post-removal report for your lender or insurer. You get the report by email within 24 hours of completion.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Spray foam removal saw
Cuts cured foam into strips without gouging the rafter faces. The primary tool on every loft job.
Oscillating multi-tool
Reaches into corners, around cables and behind pipework where a saw will not fit.
Industrial vacuum
Captures foam dust and debris at the cutting point, keeping the loft and house clean.
Negative air machine
Maintains negative pressure in the loft so dust cannot drift down into living areas.
Dry ice blasting machine
Removes the final film of polyurethane from timber without abrasives or moisture.
Thermal imaging camera
Detects hidden damp and cold bridging in rafters during the survey.
PPE respirator
Protects operatives from isocyanate particles and fine foam dust throughout the job.
Real results
Before and after.
Mortgage Refusal Reversed in Denton Holme
Before
A three-bed terrace in Denton Holme had open cell foam sprayed across every rafter. The buyer's lender refused the mortgage and the sale stalled with two weeks to go.
After
We cleared the loft in two days, dry ice blasted the rafters and issued a photographic report within 24 hours. The lender released funds and the sale completed on the original date.
Damp Loft Dried Out in Stanwix
Before
Closed cell foam in a Stanwix semi had trapped moisture for years. The homeowner noticed a damp smell and staining on the landing ceiling after a wet winter.
After
We removed the foam over two days, found two rafters with early rot, and dried the loft out. The staining stopped spreading and the timbers were treated by a joiner.
Three Rentals Cleared in Botcherby
Before
A landlord in Botcherby had three rental properties flagged for spray foam in the same month. All three had different foam types and coverage levels.
After
We surveyed all three in one visit and cleared them over ten working days. Each property received its own report, and all three passed lender inspection.

Loft condensation soaking the rafters
We remove the foam, dry ice blast the rafters, and check for rot with a thermal imaging camera. Any rot found is reported so you can arrange repairs.
Spray foam overspray on cables and pipework
We use an oscillating multi-tool and hand tools to free cables and pipework carefully, avoiding nicks and cuts that would need an electrician.
Structural damage from expanding foam
We cut the foam back in controlled strips, inspect the structure as we go, and flag any movement or cracking for a roofer to assess.
