Wells properties often feature thick stone walls and older roof voids that trap spray foam against lime mortar and timber. Our team travels from 2 Kimberley Terrace on Bristol Road to handle removal jobs in Wells without disturbing original fabric. Narrow lanes around the cathedral precinct mean we stage equipment carefully and work in smaller lifts to keep disruption low for neighbours.
Frequent Somerset rain finds its way under poorly installed foam on Wells roofs, especially on north-facing pitches exposed to the Mendip weather. We cut and peel the material in sections, checking for hidden moisture before any new insulation goes in. Homeowners on streets like Vicars Close appreciate the same-day clean-up so daily life around the Bishop’s Palace continues uninterrupted.
Because Wells sits twenty miles from our TA6 base we schedule early starts to beat school-run traffic on the A39. This keeps the van off residential streets during peak hours and lets us finish before evening damp sets in.

Spray Foam Removal Bridgwater in Wells — Local Notes
- •Stone and cob construction common around Wells Cathedral means extra care when scoring foam away from irregular surfaces to avoid chipping lime pointing.
- •Tight rear access on many Wells terraces forces us to carry materials through front doors and up narrow stairwells rather than using external skips.
- •Persistent winter rain and high water table in the Somerset levels increase the chance of damp trapped beneath roof foam, so we always test joists before leaving site.
- •Listed-building rules around the Market Place and Palace Green require dust containment and hand tools instead of powered scrapers on many jobs.
