Upperby Park
A useful orientation point for the western side of the estate. If your property backs onto or faces the park, we will usually park on the nearest residential street and walk kit in through the front.

Spray foam removal services across Upperby
Every job we take on in Upperby starts with a proper look at the loft, not a phone estimate. Spray foam removal near Upperby means different things depending on whether you have open cell spray foam sprayed between rafters or closed cell foam bonded to the underside of a roof deck. We carry the kit for both, and we work around school runs, shift patterns and the narrow back lanes off Petteril Bank Road.

Same day Spray Foam RemovalSame day spray foam removal in Upperby is available when you call before 11am. We keep a van free for urgent jobs, usually mortgage deadlines or a surveyor booked for the following morning. Typical Upperby loft takes three to five hours, so an afternoon start still finishes the same day.View details →
24/7 Spray Foam RemovalOur 24/7 spray foam removal line covers Upperby, CA1 and CA2 for emergencies. Storm damage that has pulled foam away from a roof deck, or a leak running through sprayed insulation, cannot wait until Monday. Call any hour and we will arrange the earliest safe slot, usually within a few hours.View details →
Residential Spray Foam RemovalResidential spray foam removal is the bulk of our Upperby work. Post-war semis on the estate, rendered terraces near Harraby, and larger detached homes towards Morton Park all come with different roof structures. We remove foam from rafters, ceiling joists and party walls without disturbing the plasterboard below.View details →
Commercial Spray Foam RemovalCommercial spray foam removal in Upperby covers the small units and workshops around the estate edges plus larger buildings towards Carlisle. Warehouse roofs sprayed with closed cell foam are stripped with dry ice blasting where the deck is fragile, keeping the substrate intact and the building watertight.View details →
Loft Spray Foam RemovalLoft spray foam removal is what most Upperby homeowners actually need. The foam is usually open cell polyurethane sprayed between rafters, blocking ventilation and trapping condensation against the timbers. We cut it back flush, clear the eaves, and restore airflow so the loft can dry out properly.View details →
Roof Spray Foam RemovalRoof spray foam removal in Upperby often means working from inside the loft because the tiles are original and brittle. Where foam has bonded to the underside of a roof deck, we use thermal imaging to map it first, then remove it in sections so the roof structure is never left unsupported.View details →
Attic Spray Foam RemovalAttic spray foam removal covers the older Upperby properties where the loft has been converted or partly boarded. Foam sprayed over stored items, cables and pipework needs careful cutting with an oscillating multi-tool rather than a saw. We protect the space below with sheeting before we start.View details →
Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSpray foam insulation removal in Upperby is usually triggered by a mortgage valuation. Lenders flag it because foam hides timber condition and blocks ventilation. We remove it fully, inspect the rafters, and give you a written summary with photos that your lender and surveyor can work from.View details →
Open Cell Spray Foam RemovalOpen cell spray foam removal is the most common job on the Upperby estate. This softer foam is easier to cut but it crumbles, so we run a negative air machine and air scrubber to keep dust out of the rest of the house. Timbers are then vacuumed and treated where needed.View details →
Closed Cell Spray Foam RemovalClosed cell spray foam removal in Upperby is a tougher job. This foam sets rock hard and bonds to timber, so it comes off in chips with a removal saw and chisel rather than a blade. We check rafter condition as we go because closed cell foam hides rot better than any other insulation.View details →
Mortgage Lender Spray Foam RemovalMortgage lender spray foam removal is a specialist service for Upperby buyers whose sale is stuck. We produce a removal report with dated photos, timber condition notes and confirmation that ventilation has been restored. Local brokers we work with accept our paperwork without a second inspection in most cases.View details →
Insulation Removal ServiceOur insulation removal service in Upperby covers spray foam, old mineral wool and contaminated loft insulation in one visit. If foam has been sprayed over older insulation, both need to come out together. We bag everything on site and take it away, so you are not left with skips on the drive.View details →
Insulation AssessmentAn insulation assessment is the right first step if you are not sure what is in your Upperby loft. We inspect the foam type, check timber moisture with a meter, and look for loft condensation and roof timber rot. You get a clear written recommendation before any removal work is booked.View details →
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam RemovalDry ice blasting spray foam removal is our gentlest method and it suits older Upperby roof decks. Dry ice pellets lift foam off the substrate without abrasion, so fragile felt, old sarking and thin timber survive intact. There is no water and no chemical residue left behind.View details →
Cavity Wall Spray Foam RemovalCavity wall spray foam removal applies to a small number of Upperby properties where foam was injected into wall cavities. It is a slow, section-by-section job done through drilled access points. We assess whether the cavity can be cleared safely before quoting, because not every wall should be opened.View details →
Sand Blasting Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSand blasting spray foam insulation removal is used on Upperby jobs where foam has been sprayed onto brick or stone and needs a clean finish. Abrasive blasting media strips residue that hand tools miss. We mask and seal the area first because the dust load is heavy.View details →
Thermal Spray Foam RemovalThermal spray foam removal uses heat to soften bonded foam before cutting, which reduces damage to cables and pipework. It is useful in Upperby lofts where foam has expanded around wiring. We follow with a thermal imaging camera check to confirm no foam pockets remain hidden.View details →
Environmentally Friendly Insulation RemovalEnvironmentally friendly insulation removal matters to a lot of Upperby homeowners. We separate foam waste for appropriate disposal, use dry ice rather than chemicals where possible, and avoid dumping removed material in general waste. Everything is documented so you know where it went.View details →
Warehouse Spray Foam RemovalWarehouse spray foam removal covers the industrial units on the edge of Upperby and towards Carlisle. Large roof areas sprayed with closed cell foam are stripped in phases so the building stays operational. We work evenings and weekends to avoid disrupting your shifts.View details →

How we carry out spray foam removal in Upperby
Spray foam removal in Upperby follows a set sequence, and the sequence matters more than the tools. We start with an insulation assessment, checking foam type, timber moisture and whether loft condensation has already st
Clay ground holding water under Upperby
Damp rises into roof spaces more readily on the estate, so foam often hides wet timbers rather than dry ones. Standard removal without a moisture check risks leaving rot behind.
How we help: We meter every rafter we expose and treat any timber reading above 20 percent moisture before the job is signed off. If rot is found, we document it with photos so you can decide on repair separately.
Post-war 3x2 rafters under foam
Older Upperby roof timbers are thinner than modern equivalents, so aggressive removal tools can split or gouge them. Closed cell foam bonded to 3x2 rafters is the worst combination.
How we help: We switch to dry ice blasting or thermal softening on thinner timbers, which lifts foam without levering against the wood. Where a rafter is already split, we note it and avoid loading it further during removal.
Foam sprayed around cables and pipework
Many Upperby lofts have foam expanded tight around lighting cables and central heating pipes. Cutting blind risks nicking a cable or cracking a pipe, which turns a removal job into an electrical or plumbing repair.
How we help: We isolate the lighting circuit at the consumer unit before starting, then free cables with an oscillating multi-tool and hand tools. Pipes are protected with foam sleeving while we work around them.

We know the route
Finding our way around Upperby
Upperby is compact, but the estate roads can be confusing if you do not know them. We use local landmarks to orient ourselves and to give customers a clear arrival point when we call ahead. If you are near Upperby Park, St Herbert's Church or the cemetery, we can usually describe exactly where we will park before we set off.
St Herbert's Church
A central Upperby landmark that helps us locate the surrounding streets quickly. Several of our earliest jobs were on roads within sight of the church, so we know the parking situation well.
Petteril Bank Community Centre
A handy reference point for the Petteril Bank side of our coverage. It sits close to several streets with older housing stock and narrow loft access, which affects how we plan a job.
Carlisle Cemetery
A well-known Upperby boundary marker. Properties near the cemetery often sit on slightly different ground conditions, which is worth knowing when we assess loft damp.

Upperby Spray foam removal FAQ
Spray foam removal in Upperby: your questions answered
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
Call 0122 891 5049 →Most Upperby lofts cost between 1,200 and 2,200 pounds in 2026, with larger closed cell roofs running to 3,500 pounds or more. Open cell foam is cheaper to remove than closed cell because it comes out faster. Access, loft clearance and any timber repairs also affect the price. We quote from photos and a short call, and the figure we give is the figure you pay.

We have worked across the Upperby estate, Harraby and Petteril Bank since 2023, and most of our work comes from recommendations.

Yes. Our 24/7 spray foam removal line covers Upperby, CA1 and CA2 for emergencies such as storm damage or a leak running through sprayed insulation. Call 0122 891 5049 at any hour and we will arrange the earliest safe slot, usually within a few hours. Standard bookings are handled seven days a week.
Same day spray foam removal is available if you call before 11am, subject to van availability. Most Upperby lofts take three to five hours, so an afternoon start still finishes the same day.

Removing spray foam usually helps a mortgage application rather than harming it. Lenders object to the foam, not to a clean, ventilated loft with inspected timbers. We provide a dated report with photos and timber condition notes that your lender and surveyor can work from, and most local brokers accept it without a second inspection.
