24/7 Spray Foam Removal in Barnstaple is the round-the-clock extraction of failed or unwanted spray foam insulation from lofts, roof voids, cavity walls and commercial buildings. We cut the foam out with a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool, then blast the residue off rafters with a dry ice blasting machine or sand blasting equipment. An industrial vacuum and negative air machine run throughout so dust and isocyanate particles never reach your living space. Every job finishes with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera check on the timber.
Barnstaple homes built before 1920 often have roof timbers that have been sitting under Icynene or Lapolla foam for fifteen years or more. That foam traps moisture against the timber and by the time you spot a damp patch on the ceiling, rot has already started. We get calls from homeowners in Pilton and Newport who cannot sell because a mortgage lender has flagged the spray foam. Our emergency 24/7 Spray foam removal Barnstaple service means you do not wait until Monday for a surveyor to say no.
Every removal job includes the survey, containment, extraction, verification and waste disposal. We do not charge extra for out-of-hours attendance or for travel within our standard Barnstaple coverage area. Here is exactly what you get.
We remove all accessible spray foam from rafters, purlins, roof deck and cavity walls. Open cell and closed cell foams are handled with the appropriate cutting and blasting method. We do not leave patches behind for a surveyor to find.
Negative air machines, air scrubbers and sealed sheeting are set up before any cutting begins. Isocyanate dust and foam particles are captured at source. Your living space stays clean and you can remain in the property while we work.
Every rafter is checked with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera. We photograph the clean timbers and provide a written report stating the foam has been fully removed. This is the document your lender or surveyor will want to see.
All removed foam is bagged, taken away and disposed of at a licensed facility. You do not need to hire a skip or arrange collection. We provide waste transfer documentation for commercial and landlord clients.
Once the foam is out, we tell you how to keep the roof void dry. That might mean adding vents, adjusting insulation or fixing a leak. We give you practical steps, not a sales pitch for replacement foam.
Call 0127 159 4024 and we will ask about the property, the foam type and the access. If you have a lender's report or a surveyor's note, read it to us. Most jobs are quoted in under 15 minutes and we can book a same-day visit across Barnstaple.
We attend with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera to map exactly where the foam sits and how far damp has spread. You get a written scope and fixed price the same day. Surveys take 30 to 45 minutes for a typical Barnstaple loft.
Before any cutting starts we seal the loft hatch, lay protective sheeting and position the negative air machine and air scrubber. This keeps isocyanate dust out of your living space. Setup takes about 20 minutes and we show you the containment before we begin.
We cut the bulk of the foam with a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool, then blast residue from rafters with a dry ice blasting machine or sand blasting equipment. An industrial vacuum runs continuously. A typical three-bedroom loft takes one to two days.
We check every rafter with a moisture meter, photograph the clean timbers and run a final thermal imaging camera pass. You get a written report, before-and-after photos and advice on ventilation. We do not leave until the roof void is dry and surveyor-ready.

A three-bedroom Pilton house had closed cell foam sprayed across the entire roof deck. The buyer's lender refused to proceed and the sale stalled for six weeks. Moisture readings on the rafters were above 22% and early rot was visible on two purlins.
We removed all foam over two days using a spray foam removal saw and dry ice blasting. Rafters were cleaned, treated and dried to below 18% moisture. The written report and photographs went to the lender, and the sale completed 12 days later.
A storm drove water through a cracked tile and saturated open cell foam across a Roundswell loft. Water was tracking through the ceiling and staining the landing plasterboard. The homeowner called us at 11pm on a Saturday.
We attended within 90 minutes, made the roof safe and removed the wet foam the next morning. The loft was dried with air scrubbers and the ceiling stain was treated. Total job time from call to handover was 36 hours.
A landlord's two-bedroom flat had failed an inspection because of spray foam in the roof void. The foam was Icynene, applied years earlier, and had started to sag away from the rafters. New tenants were due in three weeks.
We removed the foam in a single day, vacuumed the void and provided waste transfer notes and a clean-timber report. The property passed re-inspection and the tenancy started on schedule.
Spray foam causes a predictable set of problems in North Devon homes. If you recognise any of these, call us on 0127 159 4024 and we will tell you what is involved before you commit to anything.

We cut out the foam, dry the roof void with air scrubbers and check every timber with a moisture meter. Early rot is treated before it spreads. Catching it early saves thousands in structural work.
We remove the failed foam and advise on a replacement insulation strategy that suits your property. Mineral wool or modern breathable options often work better in older Barnstaple homes than the foam that was there.
We trace the moisture with a thermal imaging camera, remove the foam that is trapping it and fix the underlying ventilation problem. The damp patches dry out once the roof void can breathe again.
