Sydney Gardens sits in a conservation area with some of Bath's oldest housing stock. Most of the properties we work on are Georgian or Victorian, with roofs that were never designed for modern insulation. When spray foam goes in, it seals the roof, stops it breathing, and within a few years you get rot in the rafters and a mortgage lender asking questions. We see this constantly on Sydney Buildings and along Bathwick Street. The demand here is different from newer estates: it's not just about energy efficiency, it's about saving a sale or fixing a survey. We've built our schedule around that, with same day call-outs and emergency response across Sydney Gardens.

Areas Served
We started Platinum Shield Spray Foam in 2021, right here in Bath. Sydney Gardens was one of our first service areas because we kept getting calls from homeowners on Sydney Road and Grove Street who couldn't sell or remortgage. Back then, most contractors wouldn't touch spray foam removal in a listed building. We invested in dry ice blasting equipment and dust extraction so we could work cleanly in heritage properties, and word spread. Five years on, we've cleared foam from hundreds of lofts, roofs and cavity walls across BA2 4 and BA2 6. Local estate agents now recommend us by name when a survey flags spray foam.
These are real examples of spray foam removal jobs we've completed in Sydney Gardens. They show the range of problems we solve and the results we deliver.
A homeowner on Sydney Place was told by their mortgage lender that the spray foam in the roof had to be removed before they could remortgage. The foam was closed cell and had been there for over 10 years.
We carried out a full survey and used dry ice blasting to remove the foam without damaging the historic timbers. We then treated the rafters for rot and provided a report with photos for the lender.
The lender signed off the property within two weeks. The homeowner was able to complete their remortgage and saved thousands compared to a full roof replacement.
A property on Bathwick Street had open cell foam in the loft that was trapping moisture and causing mould. The owner was worried about the smell and potential health issues.
We removed the foam using hand tools and HEPA filter vacuums to control dust. We also installed new ventilation to improve airflow and prevent future damp.
The mould was eliminated, and the loft was left clean and ready for new insulation. The owner reported no more smell and a healthier living environment.
A commercial unit on Grove Street had spray foam in the warehouse roof that was causing condensation and dripping onto stock. The business needed it removed urgently.
We worked out of hours to remove the foam using sand blasting equipment. We also repaired damaged roof panels and improved insulation to stop condensation.
The condensation stopped, and the business was able to store stock safely again. The work was completed in three days with no disruption to trading.
If you're wondering whether you need spray foam removal in Sydney Gardens, here are the signs we see most often. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth getting a professional assessment before the problem gets worse.
Many lenders won't lend on a property with spray foam because it can trap moisture and cause rot. If your lender has flagged it, you'll need a specialist removal report to proceed.
Spray foam seals the roof and stops it breathing. Moisture builds up and causes mould on timbers and stored items. This can lead to rot and expensive repairs if left untreated.
Trapped moisture can rot roof timbers from the inside. If you notice soft spots or a musty smell, it's a sign the foam has caused damage that needs urgent attention.
Poor ventilation caused by spray foam can lead to condensation inside the home. This can damage plaster and cause mould growth in living areas.
Buyers are often put off by spray foam, especially if it's not been properly installed. Removal can make your property more saleable and avoid delays in the sale process.
Sydney Gardens has a unique mix of historic buildings and canal-side properties, which creates specific spray foam problems. Here are the most common issues we encounter and how we solve them.
Why it happens here
Spray foam seals the roof, preventing ventilation. In Bath's damp climate, moisture from inside the home can't escape, so it condenses on timbers and causes rot.
Our approach
We remove the foam, treat any rot, and improve ventilation to allow the roof to breathe again. We use moisture meters to check for hidden damp.
Why it happens here
Lenders consider spray foam a risk because it can hide structural problems and reduce the value of the property. Many won't lend until it's removed and the roof is inspected.
Our approach
We provide a full removal report with photos and moisture readings, which satisfies most lenders. We've helped many homeowners in Sydney Gardens complete their remortgage.
Why it happens here
Foam injected into cavity walls can bridge the gap and allow moisture to travel from the outside to the inside. This is common in older properties with solid walls.
Our approach
We remove the foam using specialised tools and clear any blocked air bricks. We then restore ventilation to keep the cavity dry.
Why it happens here
Some spray foams continue to off-gas for years, causing a chemical smell. This can be unpleasant and may affect indoor air quality, especially in poorly ventilated lofts.
Our approach
We remove the foam completely and use HEPA filter vacuums to capture any particles. We also check for any remaining odour and advise on ventilation improvements.
The weather in Bath changes through the year, and that affects spray foam removal. Here's what to expect each season and how to plan your job.
Spring is a good time to remove spray foam because the weather is milder and ventilation is easier. Damp problems from winter become visible as the temperature rises.
Tip
Book your survey in early spring to avoid the summer rush. Check your loft for signs of damp after winter.
Summer is our busiest season. Warm weather means lofts can get very hot, so we start early in the day. It's also a popular time for property sales, so removal jobs are in demand.
Tip
If you're selling, get your spray foam removal done before the summer rush. We can work early mornings to avoid the heat.
Autumn brings cooler, wetter weather. This is when damp problems from spray foam become more obvious. We often see an increase in emergency call-outs as the rain sets in.
Tip
Check your roof and loft before winter. If you notice damp or mould, book a removal before the cold weather makes it worse.
Winter is the worst time for spray foam problems. Condensation and damp are at their peak, and heating is on, which can make the smell worse. Emergency removals are common.
Tip
If you have an urgent problem, call our 24/7 line. We can often get to you same day, even in winter.
Before you hire anyone to remove spray foam in Sydney Gardens, ask these questions. A good contractor will have clear answers and won't mind you asking.
"Are you experienced with listed buildings and conservation areas?"
Why it matters
Sydney Gardens has many listed properties. A contractor who doesn't understand conservation rules could damage historic timber or brickwork, leading to costly repairs.
"What method will you use to remove the foam?"
Why it matters
Different foams need different methods. Dry ice blasting is best for closed cell foam on historic timbers, while sand blasting might be used on brick. Ask why they've chosen their method.
"Will you provide a report for my mortgage lender?"
Why it matters
If your lender has flagged the foam, you'll need a professional report with photos and moisture readings. Not all contractors provide this, so check before you book.
"Are you insured and certified?"
Why it matters
Insurance and certifications like CHAS or SafeContractor show the contractor meets industry standards. It protects you if anything goes wrong during the work.
"How long will the removal take?"
Why it matters
Most loft jobs take one to three days, but larger roofs can take longer. A clear timeline helps you plan, especially if you're selling or remortgaging.
