Tawstock Court
A large country house that sits at the centre of the estate. We use it as a reference point for the lanes and drives on the northern side of the village, and for properties along the approach road.

Same day Spray Foam RemovalSame day Spray foam removal in Tawstock is possible when you call before midday and the loft is accessible. We keep a crew on standby for the Barnstaple and Tawstock area.

24/7 Spray Foam RemovalEmergency Spray foam removal near Tawstock is rare but real. We take calls at 2am when a storm has lifted slates and exposed foam, or when a buyer's survey deadline is the next morning. We run a 24/7 line for the EX31 area. Call 0127 159 4024 and we will tell you honestly whether it can wait until daylight.View details →
Residential Spray Foam RemovalMost of our Tawstock work is residential: cottages, farmhouses and bungalows. We treat each one differently. A stone cottage near St Peter's Church needs hand tools and patience; a 1970s bungalow near Tawstock Village Hall can be stripped with the saw and vacuum in a day. We protect floors, stairs and loft hatches before we start.View details →
Commercial Spray Foam RemovalTawstock has a handful of commercial and agricultural buildings where foam was used to seal large roof areas. We work around stock, machinery and staff. For a barn or workshop in the EX31 4 area we usually schedule over two to three days, using negative air machines to keep dust out of adjoining spaces and sheeting over anything that cannot be moved.View details →
Loft Spray Foam RemovalLoft Spray foam removal in Tawstock is our most common call. Rafter-level foam traps heat and moisture against the roof deck, and in a village this exposed to weather that means rot. We cut the foam back to the timber, check the purlins with a moisture meter, and leave the loft ready for mineral wool or a breathable insulation system. Most lofts take one to two days.View details →
Roof Spray Foam RemovalWhen foam has been sprayed directly to the underside of slates or tiles, we remove it from the inside without stripping the roof. This is delicate work on the old roofs around Tawstock Court, where the rafters are uneven and the foam has keyed into every gap. We use the oscillating multi-tool and hand scrapers, then vacuum the void clean.View details →
Attic Spray Foam RemovalAttic and loft mean the same thing to most people, but the access differs. Tawstock has plenty of attics reached through a cupboard or a hatch in a bedroom ceiling. We work in tight spaces with extraction hose and PPE, and we photograph the timbers before and after so you have evidence for your lender or surveyor.View details →
Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSpray foam insulation removal Tawstock Devon homeowners call us for is usually a mix of open cell and closed cell in the same roof. We identify which is which, because they come out differently. Open cell tears away in chunks; closed cell needs the saw. We remove both, bag the waste and dispose of it through licensed carriers.View details →
Open Cell Spray Foam RemovalOpen cell spray foam is softer and lighter, and it is what we find in most Tawstock lofts. It comes out faster than closed cell, but it still holds moisture against the timber if it has been there for years. We cut it back, check for rot, and treat any affected timbers before we leave the property.View details →
Closed Cell Spray Foam RemovalClosed cell foam is dense, rigid and bonded hard to the substrate. In Tawstock we find it in cavity walls and in roofs where someone wanted a vapour barrier. It does not come off with a scraper. We use the spray foam removal saw and dry ice blasting on delicate surfaces, then sand the residue back to clean timber or masonry.View details →
Mortgage Lender Spray Foam RemovalA mortgage refusal is the reason behind a lot of our Tawstock calls. Lenders and surveyors flag spray foam because it hides the roof structure and can trap moisture. We remove the foam, document the timbers with photos and moisture readings, and provide a written summary you can pass to your lender or buyer's solicitor. We have done this for properties around Tawstock Park and St John's Chapel.View details →
Insulation Removal ServiceSometimes the foam is only part of the problem and the old mineral wool underneath is sodden. Our insulation removal service in Tawstock strips everything back to the plasterboard or rafters, disposes of it properly, and leaves a clean void. We then advise on what to put back, based on how the roof is built and how it vents.View details →
Insulation AssessmentBefore you spend money on removal, get an assessment. We inspect the loft or cavity, identify the foam type, check for roof timber rot and trapped moisture with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter, and tell you whether removal is necessary or whether a ventilation fix will do. In Tawstock we charge a small fee for this and deduct it from the removal if you go ahead.View details →
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam RemovalDry ice blasting is our go-to method on delicate surfaces: old stone, lime plaster and heritage timbers around Tawstock Court and St Peter's Church. The dry ice pellets freeze the foam residue and lift it without gouging the substrate. It is slower than sawing, so we use it where the building fabric matters more than speed.View details →
Cavity Wall Spray Foam RemovalCavity wall foam was sold hard in North Devon in the 2010s, and some of it has caused damp and mortgage problems in Tawstock. Removing it means drilling the outer leaf, extracting the foam with specialist tooling, and making good the holes. It is dusty, messy work and we do it with air scrubbers running to keep the dust out of your home.View details →
Sand Blasting Spray Foam Insulation RemovalOn masonry and stone walls where foam has been bonded hard, sand blasting gets back to a clean surface. We use it carefully on Tawstock's older buildings, masking windows, doors and anything we cannot remove. It is not right for every job, and we will tell you if dry ice or hand tools are the better option.View details →
Thermal Spray Foam RemovalThermal removal uses controlled heat to soften the bond between foam and substrate, which helps on closed cell foam that has gone brittle. We use it alongside the saw and multi-tool where a straight cut would risk damaging old rafters. It is one of several methods we carry, and we choose based on what the roof is made of.View details →
Environmentally Friendly Insulation RemovalWe bag and segregate foam waste for licensed disposal, and we avoid chemical strippers where mechanical removal will do. For Tawstock customers who want the lowest-impact option, we use dry ice blasting and hand tools, and we keep the waste stream separate from general building waste. It costs a little more time, not a lot more money.View details →
Warehouse Spray Foam RemovalLarge roofs on agricultural and commercial buildings around the EX31 4 area often have foam over big spans. We survey the roof, plan the extraction in bays, and work with negative air machines and industrial vacuums to keep the space usable. Most warehouse jobs in Tawstock run two to four days depending on span and foam thickness.View details →

How we run Spray foam removal in Tawstock
Every Tawstock job starts with a survey, not a quote over the phone. We need to see whether the foam is open cell or closed cell, how thick it is, and whether the timbers underneath are sound. On the old roofs around Taw
Narrow lanes and limited access in Tawstock Village
Our vans cannot always park at the property, so equipment has to be carried in. That adds time to setup and breakdown, and it affects how much waste we can move in one trip.
How we help: We survey access before quoting and plan the carry distance into the price. For long carries we use wheeled tubs and extra labour rather than dragging bags across gravel. If parking is tight, we ask you to reserve a space or we work from the nearest safe point on the lane.
Old stone and cob walls that cannot take heavy tools
A spray foam removal saw will damage lime mortar and soft stone if it is used without care. On Tawstock's older buildings we have to slow down and use hand tools or dry ice blasting on the fabric.
How we help: We test a small area first to see how the foam releases. Where the substrate is fragile we switch to dry ice blasting or hand scrapers, and we keep the saw for the timber and the bulk of the foam. It takes longer, but the building stays intact.
Exposed roofs that trap moisture against timbers
Tawstock is exposed to weather off the Bristol Channel, and foam at rafter level stops the roof breathing. Condensation sits against the underside of the slate and rots purlins and rafters from the inside.
How we help: We remove the foam, check every timber with a moisture meter, and treat any early rot with a preservative before we leave. We also advise on ventilation so the roof can dry properly, because removing foam alone will not fix a roof that cannot breathe.
