Service overview
What dry ice blasting spray foam removal in Ashby de la Zouch involves
Dry ice blasting spray foam removal in Ashby de la Zouch uses compressed dry ice pellets fired at minus 78.5 degrees Celsius to freeze and shatter polyurethane foam on contact. The foam turns brittle, peels off timber and tile, and the CO2 pellets sublimate back to gas, so there is no wet residue, no sand blasting media to sweep up and no chemical smell left in your loft. We pair the dry ice blasting machine with a spray foam removal saw, oscillating multi-tool and industrial vacuum to catch every fragment before it settles into your insulation.
Most Ashby de la Zouch properties we survey were foamed between 2010 and 2018, often under a government-backed insulation scheme that has since been flagged by lenders. Typical triggers we see are spray foam causing mortgage refusal, loft condensation, roof timber rot and difficult removal due to adhesion on older rafters. If you are searching for dry ice blasting spray foam removal near me Ashby de la Zouch, we cover the town centre and surrounding villages, and we can usually assess your loft within 48 hours of your call.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
How our spray foam removal process runs
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Free loft survey
We visit your property, usually within 48 hours, and inspect the foam type, depth and coverage. A thermal imaging camera shows where damp has already reached the timbers. You get a written fixed price the same day, with no obligation.
Protect and seal
Before any blasting starts, we lay protective sheeting over floors and belongings, seal loft hatches and set up an air scrubber. Technicians wear respirators and protective clothing. This stage takes around 45 minutes on a standard loft.
Dry ice blasting
We fire dry ice pellets at the foam in controlled passes, working from ridge to eaves. The foam freezes, cracks and falls away. A two-person team clears a typical 60 square metre loft in six to eight hours across one or two visits.
Detail and vacuum
An oscillating multi-tool and pry bar handle stubborn patches around nails, cables and trusses. An industrial vacuum collects every fragment, and we bag waste in disposal bags for licensed removal. We check the timbers with a moisture meter before signing off.
Handover and report
We walk you through the cleared loft, hand over dated photos and a removal summary you can pass to your lender or surveyor. If you want new insulation fitted, we can quote for that separately at the same visit.
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 the foam to freeze and shatter it. We adjust pressure and pass speed for open cell and closed cell foam.
Spray foam removal saw
Cuts through thick foam sections where blasting alone is too slow. Used carefully to avoid nicking rafters or felt.
Oscillating multi-tool
Reaches foam around nails, cables and truss joints. Ideal for detail work where a saw will not fit.
Industrial vacuum
Collects foam fragments and dust as they fall. Keeps the loft and landing clean and reduces airborne particles.
Thermal imaging camera
Maps cold bridging and damp before and after removal. Helps us confirm the timbers are dry before we sign off.
Air scrubber
Filters fine dust from the loft air during blasting. Essential on older foam that crumbles into powder.
Respirator and protective clothing
Protects our technicians from dust and CO2 exposure. We also seal the loft hatch to keep dust out of your home.
Use cases
When to book dry ice blasting spray foam removal
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Three rented terraces in Moira
A landlord had three terraces with open cell foam causing condensation and ceiling damp patches. Tenants had complained about a musty smell, and one property had failed an inspection. → Dry ice blasting cleared all three lofts in five days. Moisture readings returned to normal, and the damp patches dried out within a fortnight. All three properties passed their next inspection.
Loft conversion prep in Packington
A homeowner wanted to board and insulate the loft but the existing foam blocked every rafter. A previous contractor had quoted for saw removal, which would have damaged the timbers and filled the house with dust. → We used dry ice blasting to clear the foam in a single day, then vacuumed and moisture-tested the loft. The homeowner fitted new insulation and boarding the following week with no delays.
Problems we solve
Problems our dry ice spray foam removal solves

Mortgage lender refuses to lend on a foamed property

Pricing process
What dry ice blasting spray foam removal costs
900 - 2,400 GBP depending on scope
Foam type and density
Open cell foam crumbles quickly under dry ice and costs less to remove. Closed cell foam is denser and needs slower passes plus more detail work, which adds labour time.
Loft size and coverage
A standard 60 square metre loft is our benchmark. Larger lofts, or those with foam on every rafter and the loft floor, take longer and use more dry ice pellets.
Access and headroom
Tight hatches, low headroom and restricted parking slow the job down. We factor access into the quote so there are no surprises on the day.
How much does dry ice blasting spray foam removal cost in Ashby de la Zouch?
Most Ashby de la Zouch lofts cost between 900 and 2,400 pounds in 2026, depending on foam type, depth and access. A simple open cell loft on a three-bed semi sits at the lower end. Closed cell foam, cavity wall spray foam removal or roof-level work pushes the price up. The survey and fixed quote are free.
Is dry ice blasting safe for spray foam removal in Ashby de la Zouch Leicestershire?
Yes. Dry ice blasting is safe for roof timbers because it freezes the foam rather than cutting into the wood. The CO2 pellets turn back into gas and leave no residue. We still use respirators, protective clothing and an air scrubber because old foam can release fine dust when it breaks up.
