Using a sand blasting machine and fine media, we strip foam from all surfaces. We adjust pressure to protect timbers and check progress with a boroscope.
Timber inspection and treatment
After removal, we inspect every timber. If we find rot, we apply timber treatment. We can also replace vapour barriers if needed.
Waste removal and cleanup
We bag all foam waste, remove it from site and provide a waste transfer note. We vacuum all surfaces and leave your loft clean.
sand blasting spray foam insulation removal in Clacton on Sea, Essex
sand blasting spray foam insulation removal in Clacton on Sea, Essex is a controlled process that uses compressed air and a fine abrasive media to break down cured polyurethane foam without gouging the timber underneath. We mask up, run an industrial vacuum extractor and air scrubber to keep dust contained, then work section by section across the rafters. The abrasive stream lifts the foam in sheets, and we bag it for disposal. Most lofts take one to two days.
Homeowners across Clacton on Sea call us because spray foam has trapped moisture against roof timbers, causing rot and condensation in the loft. Lenders often refuse mortgages when surveyors flag it, and some properties lose value. If you have been searching for sand blasting foam removal Clacton on Sea, we can assess the foam, check for damp with a moisture meter and give you a fixed price.

Tools and methods we use
Tools & Equipment
Sand blasting equipment
Compressed air and abrasive media strip foam from timbers without damage. We adjust pressure for different foam types.
Industrial vacuum extractor
Captures dust and debris at the source, keeping your home clean. We use HEPA filters for fine particles.
Air scrubber
Continuously filters the air in the work area, removing airborne particles and odours.
Boroscope inspection camera
Allows us to inspect hidden cavities and check for foam behind timbers or in tight spaces.
Moisture meter
Measures moisture levels in timbers to identify damp problems before and after removal.
PPE respirator
Protects our team from dust and airborne particles during the removal process.
Methods & Standards
Abrasive blasting
We use a fine abrasive media, such as crushed glass or walnut shells, propelled by compressed air. This breaks down foam without cutting into timber. We adjust media and pressure based on foam density.
Dry ice blasting
For sensitive areas, we use dry ice pellets. The extreme cold makes foam brittle, so it breaks off cleanly. This method leaves no residue and is ideal for electrical areas.
PAS 2035 guidelines
We follow PAS 2035 for insulation removal, ensuring work meets industry standards. This includes proper assessment, removal and documentation.
Timber treatment
After removal, we apply approved timber treatment to any areas affected by rot or damp. This protects the wood and prevents future problems.
