An insulation assessment in Bridgwater, Somerset tells you exactly what is in your loft, walls and roof timbers, and whether it is causing damp, odour or a mortgage refusal. We inspect with a boroscope inspection camera and thermal imaging camera, then hand you a plain-English report. If spray foam is the problem, we quote removal separately. Same-day slots are often available across Bridgwater and the surrounding villages.
An insulation assessment in Bridgwater, Somerset is a documented inspection of the insulation already installed in your property and the condition of the structure around it. We check loft insulation depth and coverage, cavity wall insulation, roof timber, vapour barrier and breathable membrane condition, then test for trapped moisture with a moisture meter. Every finding is photographed and logged, so you can hand the report to a lender, buyer or builder without translating trade jargon.
Bridgwater has a lot of older terraces around Eastover and Hamp, plus 1970s and 1980s estates in Wembdon and Durleigh where spray foam was fitted under grant schemes. That foam often blocks loft ventilation, and we regularly find roof timber rot from trapped moisture. If you are buying a house and the surveyor flagged spray foam insulation, an insulation survey Bridgwater buyers can rely on gives you a costed picture before exchange rather than a nasty surprise after.
Every assessment follows the same structure, whether it is a two-bed terrace in Hamp or a warehouse in Dunball. You get a site inspection, testing, photographs and a written report. Removal is quoted separately and only if you need it.
We measure insulation depth at six points per loft, identify whether the foam is open cell or closed cell, and check coverage against the floor area. Rafters, joists, eaves and the vapour barrier are all inspected and photographed.
A moisture meter reads roof timber and plasterboard, and a thermal imaging camera shows cold bridges and damp patches. We record readings in the report so you can compare them after any remedial work is carried out.
Blocked loft ventilation is the root cause of most spray foam damp problems we see. We check airflow at the eaves, look for condensation staining and confirm whether cavity wall insulation has slumped or bridged.
The report covers insulation type, measured coverage, timber condition, moisture readings and photographs, written in plain English. It is formatted for lenders, buyers and solicitors, and it stands up if you need to negotiate on price.
If removal is needed, we price it from the measured areas on the day. The quote covers extraction, containment with an air scrubber, licensed disposal and reinstatement of loft insulation, with a realistic timescale.
Call 0127 827 6038 or send photos of your loft hatch and any foam you can see. We book a same-day insulation assessment Bridgwater slot where the diary allows, usually within 24 to 48 hours. You get a two-hour arrival window, not a whole-day wait.
We lay dust sheets, put on PPE disposable coveralls and a respirator, then work through the loft. A boroscope inspection camera gets into eaves and joist bays you cannot reach by hand. We measure insulation depth at six points per loft and photograph everything.
A moisture meter reads roof timber and plasterboard, and a thermal imaging camera shows cold bridges and damp patches that are invisible to the eye. We also check loft ventilation gaps and whether the vapour barrier is on the correct side. This takes 20 to 30 minutes on a typical semi.
You get a report within 24 hours: insulation type (open cell spray foam, closed cell spray foam or mineral wool), coverage in square metres, timber condition, moisture readings and photographs. It is written for lenders and buyers, not just for us, so it stands up to scrutiny.
If the foam has to come out, we price it on the spot using the measured areas. That quote covers extraction with an industrial vacuum extraction unit and air scrubber, disposal, and reinstatement of loft insulation. You decide in your own time, with no pressure and no follow-up calls.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Reaches into eaves, joist bays and behind plasterboard where a torch cannot see. It lets us photograph foam coverage and timber condition without cutting access hatches.
Reads roof timber and plasterboard moisture content. Anything above 20% is flagged in the report, and readings are repeated after removal to confirm the structure has dried.
Shows cold bridges, damp patches and missing insulation that are invisible to the eye. It is used on every survey and the images are included in the written report.
Removes loose foam, dust and debris during removal without spreading it through the house. Paired with an air scrubber and negative air machine to keep the loft under negative pressure.
Cleans foam residue from rafters and brickwork without chemicals or water. It is often specified for older Bridgwater properties where the substrate is fragile.
Removes stubborn foam residue from brick and blockwork after the main extraction. The assessment confirms where it will be needed so it is priced into the quote.
Softens dense closed cell foam so it can be scraped and extracted without damaging timber. Used where adhesion is too strong for mechanical removal alone.
A three-bed terrace in Eastover had closed cell spray foam across the entire roof underside. The buyer's lender refused the mortgage and the sale was two weeks from collapse. Timber moisture readings were 23% in two rafters and the loft had no ventilation at the eaves.
We assessed the property, documented the foam type and coverage, and quoted removal at 2,850 pounds. The foam was extracted over two days with dry ice blasting, ventilation trays were fitted, and moisture readings dropped to 14%. The lender accepted the report and the sale completed.
A damp patch kept returning on the landing ceiling of a four-bed home. The loft had spray foam between the rafters and a blocked eaves gap. Moisture readings on the plasterboard were 26%, and the thermal imaging camera showed a cold bridge running the length of the landing.
Removal took one and a half days with an industrial vacuum extraction unit and air scrubber. New loft insulation was fitted to 270mm and the eaves were reopened. Three weeks later the plasterboard read 13% and the damp patch had dried out completely.
A 900 square metre warehouse roof near Dunball had open cell spray foam across the full span. The owner needed it removed to satisfy an insurer following a surveyor's report. Access was restricted and the site could not close during working hours.
We assessed coverage over two visits, then removed the foam in four evening shifts using thermal blasting equipment and industrial vacuum extraction. All 900 square metres were cleared and documented, and the insurer accepted the disposal paperwork. The roof was left ready for a compliant insulation upgrade.
Most calls we get in Bridgwater come down to one of four problems. The assessment identifies which one you have and what it takes to fix it.
Ask a pro →We assess the foam, document the coverage and timber condition, and provide a report your lender or valuer can work with. If removal is a condition of the loan, we quote it on the same visit so you can decide quickly and keep the sale moving.
Our moisture meter readings show exactly how far decay has progressed. Where timber is still sound, removal and re-ventilation stops the problem. Where it is not, the report documents it so your builder can price the repair accurately.
We trace the moisture with thermal imaging, confirm whether the vapour barrier is on the wrong side, and check cavity wall damp. The report sets out what needs removing and what ventilation needs restoring so the damp does not return.
We measure insulation depth and coverage rather than guessing from a visual check. If performance is below standard, the report specifies a compliant upgrade under PAS 2035 using materials from Isothane, BASF or Sika, so the next install actually works.
A domestic insulation assessment in Bridgwater costs 150 to 450 pounds in 2026, depending on loft size, access and whether thermal imaging is needed. Commercial units and large lofts are priced per square metre. The fee covers the site visit, moisture testing, photographs and a written report within 24 hours. If you go ahead with removal through us, we credit the assessment fee against the removal invoice.
We inspect your loft, measure insulation depth at six points, check roof timber with a moisture meter and scan for cold bridges with a thermal imaging camera. A boroscope inspection camera reaches into eaves and joist bays. We photograph everything, check loft ventilation and vapour barrier placement, then send a written report within 24 hours. The visit takes 60 to 90 minutes on a typical semi-detached house.
Yes, if your lender or valuer has flagged spray foam insulation, you will usually need a documented assessment before they will lend. Most high-street lenders refuse properties with spray foam under the roof unless removal is confirmed or a specialist report is provided. Our report covers insulation type, coverage, timber condition and moisture readings, which is the evidence valuers ask for. It is also useful for renegotiating the purchase price.
Most assessments take 60 to 90 minutes on site, and the written report follows within 24 hours. Larger properties, commercial units and lofts with limited access can take up to three hours. We book two-hour arrival windows and offer same-day slots across Bridgwater when the diary allows. If you need the report urgently for a mortgage deadline, tell us when you call and we will prioritise it.
