Warehouse Spray Foam Removal in Barnstaple clears failed or unwanted foam from commercial units across Devon. We handle open cell and closed cell spray foam, extract it safely, and leave your building ready for re-insulation, sale, or mortgage survey. If your Barnstaple warehouse has foam that is trapping moisture, failing inspection, or blocking a lender, we can survey it this week and give you a fixed price before we start.
Warehouse Spray Foam Removal in Barnstaple is the controlled extraction of spray-applied polyurethane foam from industrial roofs, walls, and ceiling voids. Foam that was installed years ago can shrink, crack, or hold water against the roof deck, and once that happens it has to come out. We cut, blast, and vacuum the foam away without damaging the timber, plasterboard, or metal sheeting underneath, then bag and remove every last piece.
Barnstaple's damp North Devon climate makes trapped moisture a real problem in older industrial buildings. We see it in units around Roundswell and Whiddon Valley where closed cell spray foam has sealed in leaks from the roof. That trapped moisture rots roof timbers, kills insulation performance, and can lead to mortgage refusal when a lender's surveyor flags it. If you are searching for industrial spray foam removal near me Barnstaple, we cover the whole EX31 and EX32 area.

Once the foam is out, we inspect the substrate for rot, condensation, or structural damage. We take moisture readings and photograph everything. If timbers need treatment or replacement, we tell you the same day and quote separately.

A 600m2 warehouse in Roundswell had closed cell foam sprayed on the roof deck 12 years ago. The foam had cracked and was holding water against the timbers. Moisture readings were high and two rafters showed early rot. The owner needed it cleared before a mortgage survey.
We removed all 600m2 of foam in four days using dry ice blasting. Moisture readings dropped to normal levels within 48 hours. The two affected rafters were treated and documented. The surveyor signed off the building the following week.
A storage unit in Whiddon Valley had foam on the internal walls that was trapping condensation. Mould was growing behind the foam and staff had raised health and safety concerns. The unit needed to be clear for a new tenant.
We contained the area and removed all wall foam in two days. Air scrubbers ran throughout. The walls were treated for mould and moisture readings confirmed they were dry. The unit was re-let within a month.
An old barn near Bishops Tawton had open cell foam on the roof timbers. The foam was falling away and had trapped moisture, causing rot in three rafters. The owner wanted to convert the barn for storage but needed the structure sound.
We removed the foam by hand and with oscillating multi-tools over three days. The three rotten rafters were replaced. Moisture readings after extraction were normal. The barn passed a structural inspection and is now used for dry storage.
Failed spray foam causes more than a cold building. It traps moisture, rots timbers, and blocks sales. Here are the problems we fix most often in Barnstaple warehouses.

Most warehouse spray foam removal jobs in Barnstaple cost between £2,500 and £12,000, depending on the square metreage and foam thickness. A small unit under 200m2 with 50mm of open cell foam sits at the lower end. Larger buildings with closed cell foam or difficult access push toward the top. We give you a fixed price after a free survey, so you know the number before we start.
Yes. We remove open cell and closed cell spray foam from warehouses across Barnstaple and Devon. That includes roof decks, walls, and ceiling voids. We use dry ice blasting, sand blasting equipment, and industrial vacuums to take the foam back to the substrate without damaging the building. Every job is surveyed first so we can match the method to the foam type.
It is, mainly because of the damp North Devon climate. Foam in Barnstaple warehouses tends to hold more moisture than in drier parts of the country, which means more rot risk and more careful drying after extraction. Older industrial buildings around the town centre and Newport also have timber and plasterboard substrates that need gentler removal methods than modern steel-framed units.
A typical 500m2 warehouse takes three to five working days from start to handover. Smaller units under 200m2 can be done in two days. The timeline depends on foam thickness, access, and whether we find rot that needs treating. We give you a day-by-day schedule in the method statement before we begin, so you can plan around it.
