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.

Spray Foam Removal near meIf you are searching for spray foam removal near me in Appledore, we cover every street inside EX39 1 and EX39 2. A typical call is a homeowner on Irsha Street or Bude Street who has just had a survey and needs the foam out fast. We assess, quote and schedule, usually within days.View details →
Same day Spray Foam RemovalSame day spray foam removal is realistic in Appledore when the job is a single loft or a small roof void. Call before midday and we can often be on site the same afternoon. We keep extraction kit loaded for the EX39 area, so a cottage off Newquay Street does not wait a week for a slot.View details →
24/7 Spray Foam RemovalStorm damage, a collapsed ceiling or foam falling into a habitable room can turn into an emergency. Our 24/7 spray foam removal line covers Appledore around the clock. We have attended properties near Appledore Lifeboat Station after winter storms when water got into a foam-filled roof void and started pushing damp through.View details →
Residential Spray Foam RemovalMost Appledore homes are period cottages and terraces, and residential spray foam removal here means working carefully around lathe and plaster, old rafters and fragile slate. We use hand tools and an oscillating multi-tool where a saw would do damage. Dust is controlled with a negative air machine throughout.View details →
Commercial Spray Foam RemovalAppledore has small commercial premises around the quay and a handful of larger storage and workshop units. Commercial spray foam removal here is usually about clearing foam from a roof deck so a warranty or sale can proceed. We work out of hours so your business does not lose a trading day.View details →
Loft Spray Foam RemovalLoft spray foam removal is our most common Appledore job. Foam sprayed directly onto the underside of roof slates stops the roof breathing, and in a coastal village that means condensation and rot. We cut the foam back, bag it, and leave the loft clear so a surveyor can inspect the timbers properly.View details →
Roof Spray Foam RemovalRoof spray foam removal in Appledore often means working at height on slate roofs that are already fragile. We use roof ladders and harnesses, and we remove foam in sections so the roof structure is never left unsupported. Most roof-level extractions here take one to three days depending on access.View details →
Attic Spray Foam RemovalAttic spray foam removal covers the smaller, tighter roof voids common in Appledore's older cottages. Some of these attics have less than a metre of headroom, so we use compact extraction tools and a spray foam removal saw with dust extraction. It is slow, careful work, and it is the only way to do it without damage.View details →
Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSpray foam insulation removal in Appledore is usually triggered by a mortgage lender, a surveyor or a failed EPC. We remove open cell and closed cell foam, clean the timber back to bare wood where needed, and provide photographic evidence of the finished roof void for your lender or solicitor.View details →
Open Cell Spray Foam RemovalOpen cell foam is softer and easier to remove than closed cell, but it still traps moisture against roof timbers. In Appledore we find a lot of it in lofts around Churchill Way. We cut it out in blocks, vacuum the residue and treat any timber showing early signs of rot.View details →
Closed Cell Spray Foam RemovalClosed cell spray foam is dense, rigid and bonded hard to the roof deck. Removing it from an Appledore cottage takes patience and the right blades. We use a spray foam removal saw plus oscillating multi-tools to cut it back without levering against the slates or rafters.View details →
Mortgage Lender Spray Foam RemovalA mortgage refusal because of spray foam is common in Appledore, especially on older properties. Lenders want proof the foam is gone and the roof structure is sound. We carry out the removal, document every stage with photos and dates, and give you a report your lender and solicitor can accept.View details →
Insulation Removal ServiceOur insulation removal service in Appledore covers spray foam, mineral wool and mixed insulation that has been badly installed. We strip it out, check the roof void for moisture and rot, and dispose of everything under waste transfer rules. You get a clean, empty loft ready for the next stage.View details →
Insulation AssessmentBefore anyone cuts anything, we assess. An insulation assessment in Appledore uses a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter to show exactly where foam is trapping damp and whether the timbers are affected. It takes about an hour and tells you whether you actually need removal or just ventilation.View details →
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam RemovalDry ice blasting is our cleanest method for stubborn foam residue on rafters and brickwork. It freezes the foam so it releases without gouging the timber. For Appledore's listed buildings, where every rafter matters, it is often the difference between a clean extraction and a repair bill.View details →
Cavity Wall Spray Foam RemovalCavity wall spray foam removal is a growing part of our Appledore work. Foam injected into a cavity can bridge the gap and pull damp straight into the inner leaf. We remove it in sections, clear the cavity and check the wall ties while we are in there. It is dusty, controlled work.View details →
Sand Blasting Spray Foam Insulation RemovalFor hard, bonded foam on brick or stone, sand blasting spray foam insulation removal gives a clean finish. In Appledore we use it mainly on gable walls and outbuildings where the foam has been sprayed directly onto masonry. We mask and seal the area first so grit and dust stay contained.View details →
Thermal Spray Foam RemovalThermal spray foam removal uses controlled heat to soften foam so it peels away from delicate surfaces. It is slower than cutting, but on Appledore's older plasterboard and lath ceilings it avoids the cracking that cold removal can cause. We use it where the ceiling below is original.View details →
Environmentally Friendly Insulation RemovalEnvironmentally friendly insulation removal means we separate waste streams, bag foam for proper disposal and recycle what we can. In a coastal village like Appledore, keeping isocyanate dust and foam fragments out of the air and the water matters. We use air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums on every job.View details →
Warehouse Spray Foam RemovalWarehouse spray foam removal covers the larger industrial and storage units on the edge of Appledore and towards Bideford. These jobs are about volume and speed. We bring a bigger crew, work in phases and keep the building usable while we strip foam from roof decks and wall panels.View details →

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.
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.

Appledore Spray foam removal FAQ
Spray foam removal in Appledore FAQs
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
Call 0127 159 4024 →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.
