Spray foam removal in Appledore you can actually rely on

Union Trust Spray Foam has been extracting spray foam insulation across Appledore and the wider EX39 area since 2022. Spray foam removal in Appledore is a specialist job: this is a historic fishing village full of listed buildings, narrow streets and coastal exposure, and the wrong contractor can crack roof slates, snap rafters or leave isocyanate dust through a whole house. We work with dry ice blasting machines, oscillating multi-tools and industrial vacuums, and we run a negative air machine and air scrubber on every extraction so nothing migrates into your living space. Most of our Appledore work is open cell and closed cell spray foam that was installed under a government-backed scheme years ago and is now causing roof timber rot, trapped moisture or a mortgage refusal. We assess with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter first, then quote honestly. If the foam is fine, we will tell you.

Appledore has a specific problem. Hundreds of homes around Irsha Street, Bude Street and Newquay Street had spray foam pumped into lofts and roof voids during the insulation boom, and much of it was fitted badly. Add coastal exposure, driving rain off the Torridge and a high proportion of listed buildings, and you get trapped moisture, condensation and rot in roof timbers that surveyors flag immediately. We serve Appledore because the demand is real and most general builders will not touch it. Lenders want evidence the foam is gone and the timber is sound, and that is exactly what we provide.

How we carry out spray foam removal in Appledore

Every Appledore job starts with an assessment, not a saw. We check the roof void with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter, map where the foam is bonded and identify any timber already showing rot. Then we set up

Narrow streets around Appledore Quay

Extraction vans and skips cannot reach some properties on Irsha Street and Bude Street, which slows the job and means waste has to be carried out by hand to a legal loading point.

How we help: We survey access before quoting and use smaller vehicles plus hand-carry routes. Waste is bagged in 25kg lots and moved in stages, so no street is blocked and no neighbour is inconvenienced more than necessary.

Listed buildings with fragile roof structures

Many Appledore properties are listed, so aggressive cutting or blasting can damage historic rafters, lathe and plaster, and original slates. A careless removal can cost thousands in repairs.

How we help: We switch to dry ice blasting and thermal methods on listed properties, use hand tools instead of saws where timbers are delicate, and photograph the roof structure before and after so there is a clear record for your conservation officer.

Coastal damp and driving rain off the Torridge

Appledore's exposed position means roofs take on water from every direction. Foam that blocks ventilation traps that moisture against timbers, accelerating rot and condensation inside the loft.

How we help: We remove foam in sections to restore airflow, check every rafter with a moisture meter, and treat any timber showing early rot with a preservative before we leave. We also advise on ventilation so the problem does not return.

We know the route

Finding our way around Appledore

Appledore is a small village with big access problems, so we navigate by landmarks rather than satnav alone. Appledore Quay is our main orientation point, and from there we can reach Irsha Street, Bude Street and Newquay Street on foot if needed. St Mary's Church gives us a fixed point for the higher streets, and the North Devon Maritime Museum helps us locate the narrow lanes behind the quay. Appledore Lifeboat Station is the reference we use for properties at the northern end of the village. Knowing these landmarks means we arrive prepared, with the right kit for the access, rather than wasting your time circling the village.

Appledore Quay

Our main reference point for the village. It tells us which side of Appledore we are working and whether vehicle access to the property is realistic or whether we need to hand-carry equipment.

North Devon Maritime Museum

A useful marker for the lanes behind the quay, where several narrow streets have no through access. It helps us plan a hand-carry route before we arrive.

St Mary's Church

Sits above the village and gives us a fixed point for the higher streets and the roads leading up towards Churchill Way, where vehicle access is easier.

Appledore Lifeboat Station

Marks the northern end of the village and helps us locate properties near the harbour mouth, where coastal exposure is strongest and roof voids take the most weather.

Most Appledore jobs run between 1,800 and 4,500 in 2026, depending on foam type, roof size and access. A single small loft with open cell foam sits at the lower end. Closed cell foam across a full roof, or a listed property on Irsha Street needing hand-carry access and dry ice blasting, sits at the upper end. We assess for free and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

The best company is the one that assesses before it quotes, controls dust properly and gives you photographic evidence for your lender. We have worked in Appledore since 2022, hold CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation, and carry full public liability insurance. Ask any contractor for proof of insurance, method statements and a sample lender report, then compare. We are happy to show you ours.

Yes. We cover all of Appledore, including EX39 1 and EX39 2, plus the surrounding North Devon area. Same day spray foam removal is often possible if you call before midday, and our 24/7 line handles emergency call-outs after storms. Whether you are on the quay, up on Churchill Way or in a terrace off Newquay Street, we can reach you.

A single loft takes one to two days. A full roof plus cavity wall extraction on a larger Appledore property usually takes three to five days. Access is the main variable. Properties on Irsha Street and around the quay with no vehicle access take longer because equipment and waste have to be carried by hand. We confirm the schedule in your quote.

Yes, if the right method is used. On Appledore's older and listed buildings we use dry ice blasting and hand tools rather than saws, which protects fragile slates and historic rafters. We photograph the roof structure before and after, and we check every timber with a moisture meter. If any rafter needs treatment, we deal with it during the same visit.
