South Molton Pannier Market
The Pannier Market is in the centre of town, and we use it as a reference point for jobs on Broad Street and East Street. Parking is restricted around the market on market days, so we plan our visits around the schedule.

Residential Spray Foam RemovalMost of our South Molton work is residential spray foam removal on older properties. The terraces around East Street and the cottages near St Mary Magdalene Church often have closed cell spray foam that has been sprayed onto timber. We remove it carefully, protect the plasterboard where possible, and leave the loft ready for a breathable insulation system.View details →
Commercial Spray Foam RemovalWe handle commercial spray foam removal for South Molton businesses, including agricultural buildings, workshops, and warehouses on the edge of town. These jobs need a different approach: bigger extraction kit, more containment, and a schedule that does not disrupt your operation. We work evenings and weekends if that suits you better.View details →
Loft Spray Foam RemovalLoft spray foam removal in South Molton is our most common call-out. The foam goes on thick, and it is usually the closed cell type that sets rock hard. We cut it into manageable sections with a spray foam removal saw, bag it, and vacuum out the dust. Most lofts are clear in a day, and we can start on the insulation replacement straight after.View details →
Roof Spray Foam RemovalRoof spray foam removal in South Molton often means working at height on older slate roofs. We access the foam from inside the loft wherever possible to avoid disturbing the slates. If the foam has been sprayed directly onto the roof timbers, we use an oscillating multi-tool to cut it back without gouging the wood. We then treat the timbers if rot has started.View details →
Attic Spray Foam RemovalAttic spray foam removal in South Molton covers the same ground as loft work, but we often find attics that have been converted or partially boarded. We remove the foam, check the insulation performance loss, and make sure the ventilation is correct before we leave. If your attic has a moisture meter reading above 20%, the foam needs to come out.View details →
Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSpray foam insulation removal in South Molton is not just about cutting out foam. We also remove any contaminated mineral wool, clear the debris, and dispose of everything at a licensed facility. If the foam has been there for years, there is usually a layer of dust and broken insulation underneath that needs to go too.View details →
Open Cell Spray Foam RemovalOpen cell spray foam is softer and more breathable than closed cell, but it still traps moisture if it is installed wrong. We remove open cell spray foam from lofts and cavity walls across South Molton, including the older properties around the Pannier Market. It comes out faster than closed cell, but it makes more dust, so we always set up negative air machines.View details →
Closed Cell Spray Foam RemovalClosed cell spray foam is the hard, dense type that is very difficult to remove by hand. We use a spray foam removal saw and dry ice blasting to break it down without damaging the timbers. In South Molton, closed cell foam is common in properties that were retrofitted in the 2000s and 2010s. It is the type most likely to cause mortgage refusal.View details →
Mortgage Lender Spray Foam RemovalIf your mortgage lender has flagged spray foam in South Molton, we can help. We provide a full removal report with before and after photos, moisture readings, and a statement confirming the roof timbers are sound. Lenders want evidence, not promises. We have helped buyers in EX36 3 and EX36 4 get their loans over the line.View details →
Insulation Removal ServiceOur insulation removal service in South Molton covers spray foam, mineral wool, and any other insulation that has failed. If you are renovating a property near Quince Honey Farm or converting a barn, we can strip the whole lot out and leave you a clean space. We work to a fixed price so there are no surprises.View details →
Insulation AssessmentBefore you spend money on removal, get an insulation assessment. We inspect the foam, check the moisture meter readings, and use a thermal imaging camera to see where heat is escaping. In South Molton, we often find that only part of the loft needs to come out. We will tell you honestly what needs doing and what can stay.View details →
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam RemovalDry ice blasting is the cleanest way to remove spray foam from delicate surfaces. We use it on timber and stone in South Molton's older properties where a saw would do too much damage. The dry ice freezes the foam, and it comes away without leaving residue. It is more expensive than cutting, but it is the right tool for listed buildings.View details →
Cavity Wall Spray Foam RemovalCavity wall spray foam removal in South Molton is a bigger job than a loft. The foam has to be extracted through small holes drilled in the wall, which means a lot of containment and a lot of vacuuming. We use industrial vacuums and air scrubbers to keep the dust down. It takes two to three days on a typical South Molton terrace.View details →
Sand Blasting Spray Foam Insulation RemovalFor stubborn foam on brick or stone, we use sand blasting equipment to blast it clean. This is common on agricultural buildings around South Molton where the foam has been sprayed directly onto blockwork. It is a messy job, but we contain it properly. The result is a clean surface ready for a breathable insulation system.View details →
Thermal Spray Foam RemovalThermal spray foam removal uses heat to soften the foam before we cut it. It is useful on thick closed cell foam that has gone brittle. We use it in South Molton on roofs where the foam has been there for 20 years or more. It reduces the risk of pulling chunks of timber away with the foam.View details →
Environmentally Friendly Insulation RemovalWe dispose of all spray foam at licensed facilities, and we recycle what we can. Our environmentally friendly insulation removal service in South Molton uses electric extraction equipment where possible and keeps waste to a minimum. If you want a greener approach, ask us about it. We can talk you through the options.View details →
Warehouse Spray Foam RemovalWarehouse spray foam removal in South Molton is a large-scale job. We have the kit to handle big open spaces, including industrial vacuums and negative air machines. We work around your schedule, including nights and weekends, so your operation is not disrupted. We cover the commercial units on the edge of town and out towards Alswear.View details →

How we execute spray foam removal in South Molton
Every spray foam removal in South Molton starts with an inspection. We check the foam type, the moisture content of the timber, and the condition of the roof. If the foam is open cell and the timber is dry, it might not
Older timber roofs in South Molton town centre
The timber in these roofs is often 150 years old or more. It is softer than modern timber, so aggressive removal can gouge the surface. We have to use hand tools and dry ice blasting on the most delicate sections.
How we help: We start with a moisture meter and thermal imaging survey to see exactly where the foam is bonded to the timber. Then we use an oscillating multi-tool to cut the foam away in thin slices, rather than pulling it off in chunks. It takes longer, but it protects the roof structure.
Exposed, wet weather in North Devon
South Molton gets a lot of rain and wind. If the roof has a leak, the foam will soak it up like a sponge. That makes the foam heavier and harder to remove, and it means the timber underneath is likely to be wet.
How we help: We check for leaks before we start and advise on roof repairs if needed. If the foam is waterlogged, we remove it in smaller sections and use industrial vacuums to deal with the extra moisture. We also run dehumidifiers in the loft to dry the timbers out after removal.
Agricultural buildings with blockwork walls
Foam sprayed onto blockwork is hard to remove without damaging the blocks. Sand blasting can erode the mortar joints if it is done wrong. These buildings also tend to be large, which means more foam and more waste.
How we help: We use a lower-pressure sand blasting setup and keep the nozzle moving to avoid concentrating on one spot. For large buildings, we bring in extra crew and industrial vacuums to keep up with the waste. We can work in phases so the building stays usable.

Landmarks and points of interest in South Molton
South Molton is a compact market town, and we use its landmarks to navigate quickly. If you tell us you are near the Pannier Market or St Mary Magdalene Church, we know exactly where to park and which alleyways to use. The town has a one-way system around the centre, so local knowledge saves time on every job.
St Mary Magdalene Church
The church is a prominent landmark on the north side of town. We use it to orient ourselves for jobs in the surrounding streets, where the older timber-framed properties are concentrated.
South Molton Museum
The museum is on Broad Street, and it helps us locate the narrow lanes and courtyards behind the main road. These are the streets where access is tightest, so we often park further out and walk the equipment in.
Quince Honey Farm
Quince Honey Farm is on the edge of town, and we use it as a marker for jobs on the northern side of South Molton. It is also a useful reference for rural properties that are outside the immediate town centre.
