Same day Spray Foam Removal in Barnstaple is for homeowners, landlords and buyers who need failed foam out now, not next month. We are a local, BPCA-certified team that has cleared open cell and closed cell foam from lofts, roofs and cavity walls across Barnstaple since 2022. Call before 10am and we aim to be on site the same day.
Same day Spray Foam Removal in Barnstaple means we cut out failed open cell and closed cell spray foam, bag it, and leave the loft or roof space clean enough for a surveyor to inspect. We use a spray foam removal saw, oscillating multi-tool and industrial vacuum with a negative air machine to keep dust contained. Most lofts take four to eight hours. We check timbers with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera before we sign the job off.
Barnstaple's damp, salt-laden air and older housing stock make trapped moisture a real problem. Foam sprayed directly onto roof timbers stops them breathing, and we see roof timber rot, condensation and insulation performance loss on a regular basis. If you need urgent spray foam removal in Barnstaple because a mortgage lender has flagged it, we can usually get someone out the same day and have the loft cleared within 24 hours.
Every same day job includes the survey, containment, removal, waste disposal and a written handover. Here is what you get as standard, and what we can add if your job needs it.
We inspect the foam with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera, confirm whether it is open cell or closed cell, and give you a fixed price before any cutting starts. The survey usually takes 20 to 30 minutes.
We seal the loft hatch, lay dust sheets, and run a negative air machine and air scrubber for the duration of the work. This keeps isocyanate particles and foam dust out of your living space, which matters most in occupied homes.
We cut the foam back to clean timber with a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool, then vacuum the debris. We check the exposed timbers for rot and record moisture readings so you know what condition the structure is in.
All foam waste is bagged on site and removed in our van. We dispose of it correctly and can provide a waste transfer note if your lender or solicitor needs one. Nothing is left in your loft or on your driveway.
You get photos of the cleared timbers, moisture readings before and after, and a short written summary. Most customers receive this the same evening, ready to forward to their lender, surveyor or buyer.
Once the foam is out, we can advise on breathable alternatives such as mineral wool or rigid board. We do not push a product, but we will tell you what suits your roof type and ventilation so the problem does not come back.
You call 0127 159 4024 and describe the foam, the property and the deadline. We ask about access, roof type and whether a lender is involved. You get a realistic arrival window and a fixed price range on the call, usually within ten minutes.
We arrive, suit up in full PPE, and inspect the foam with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera. We check whether it is open cell or closed cell, how far it has spread, and whether the timbers underneath are sound. You get the final price before any cutting starts.
We seal the loft hatch and lay dust sheets, then set up a negative air machine and air scrubber so dust and isocyanate particles stay in the work zone. This is the step that keeps the rest of your house clean, and it takes about 30 minutes on a typical Barnstaple loft.
We cut the foam with a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool, working back to clean timber. An industrial vacuum collects the debris as we go. A standard loft takes four to eight hours; larger roofs or cavity wall foam can run into a second day.
We bag and remove all waste, wipe down surfaces, and re-check moisture levels. You get photos of the cleared timbers and a written summary for your lender or surveyor. We do not leave until the loft is clean enough to inspect.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Cuts through open cell and closed cell foam in controlled slices, letting us work back to clean timber without gouging the rafters underneath.
Gets into corners, around noggins and along rafter edges where a saw will not reach. Essential for closed cell foam that is bonded hard to the timber.
Collects foam debris at the point of cutting and keeps the work zone under negative pressure, so dust and isocyanate particles stay out of your living space.
Filters fine particles from the air in the work zone. We run it throughout the job and for a short period afterwards before we remove containment.
Checks for trapped moisture and cold bridging before and after removal. The readings go into your handover report as evidence for your lender or surveyor.
Removes foam residue from masonry, metal and delicate surfaces without water or chemicals. Used where cutting tools would cause damage.
Protects our technicians from isocyanate dust and foam particles. We wear full PPE on every job, no exceptions, and we change filters between properties.
A buyer's lender refused to lend on a Pilton terrace because of open cell foam sprayed between the rafters. The foam had been in place for years and the surveyor flagged trapped moisture. Exchange was ten days away and the seller had already moved out.
We surveyed the next morning and cleared the loft in a single day. Moisture readings dropped from 24% to 14% on the worst rafter, and the photo report went to the lender that evening. The sale completed on the original date.
A landlord needed three lofts cleared between tenants in Sticklepath. Two had closed cell foam and one had open cell over old mineral wool. The changeover window was five days and the downstairs flats were occupied throughout.
We surveyed all three in one visit and cleared them across two days. The negative air machine kept dust out of the flats below. All three lofts passed a moisture check, and the landlord had waste transfer notes for each property.
A Roundswell homeowner had damp patches on an upstairs ceiling and assumed it was a roof leak. The foam had been sprayed years earlier and was holding moisture against the rafters. Two rafters had started to rot.
We cut the foam back, exposed the rot, and treated the two affected rafters. Moisture readings fell from 26% to 15% within a week. The ceiling was repaired once the timber had dried, and the damp patches have not returned.
Most of our Barnstaple call-outs come down to one of these four problems. Each one gets worse the longer it is left, which is why we prioritise same day and next day slots.
