Loft Spray Foam RemovalLoft spray foam removal in Forches is our most requested service. Most lofts here have open cell foam sprayed between the rafters, and it has been holding damp against the timber for years. We cut it back to the rafter faces, check the timbers with a moisture meter, and dispose of everything properly.View details →
Roof Spray Foam RemovalRoof spray foam removal in Forches deals with foam applied directly to the underside of roof tiles, felt or sarking boards. This is the type most likely to cause roof timber rot because it blocks ventilation completely. We remove it carefully to avoid damaging the roof covering, then restore airflow through the void.View details →
Attic Spray Foam RemovalAttic spray foam removal across Forches covers older properties where the attic space has been converted or used for storage and the foam is buried under boards. We lift the boards, extract the foam with an industrial vacuum, and put the space back the way we found it.View details →
Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSpray foam insulation removal in Forches is about getting the building back to a breathable state. We take out the foam, clear the dust with an air scrubber, and advise on mineral wool or other breathable insulation that will not trap moisture in the same way. We work on both open cell and closed cell products.View details →
Open Cell Spray Foam RemovalOpen cell spray foam removal is common in Forches lofts because it was the cheaper option when it was installed. It is softer and easier to cut than closed cell, but it still traps moisture against rafters. We use a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool to get it off cleanly without gouging the timber.View details →
Closed Cell Spray Foam RemovalClosed cell spray foam removal is the harder job. This foam sets rock hard and is often found in roofs where Icynene, Lapolla or Demilec products were used. We cut it in sections with specialist blades, control the dust with a negative air machine, and check the rafters for rot as we go.View details →
Mortgage Lender Spray Foam RemovalMortgage lender spray foam removal in Forches is usually triggered by a valuation survey. Lenders often refuse to lend on a property with spray foam in the roof, so we provide a clear removal report and photographic evidence you can pass to your solicitor. We have helped buyers and sellers across EX32 8 complete sales that had stalled.View details →
Insulation Removal ServiceOur insulation removal service in Forches covers spray foam, contaminated mineral wool and mixed insulation that has been badly installed. We assess what is there, remove what is causing the problem, and leave the loft ready for a proper breathable insulation system. One visit, one price.View details →
Insulation AssessmentAn insulation assessment in Forches starts with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter survey. We map where the foam is, how thick it is, and whether the roof timbers are damp. You get a written summary and a fixed removal price, with no obligation to book the work.View details →
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam RemovalDry ice blasting spray foam removal is the cleanest method we use on Forches properties where the foam is thin or bonded to delicate surfaces. The dry ice freezes the foam so it releases without solvents or water, which matters in older lofts with fragile plasterboard. It also leaves no secondary waste to clean up.View details →
Cavity Wall Spray Foam RemovalCavity wall spray foam removal in Forches deals with foam injected into wall cavities, which is a different problem to loft foam. It can bridge the cavity, cause damp patches on internal walls and show up on a mortgage survey. We remove it with specialist tooling and make good the injection holes.View details →
Sand Blasting Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSand blasting spray foam insulation removal is used on Forches jobs where foam is stuck hard to brick, stone or timber and cannot be cut away. It strips the residue back to a clean surface. We set up containment and air scrubbing first so no grit or dust escapes into the house.View details →
Thermal Spray Foam RemovalThermal spray foam removal uses controlled heat to soften foam before extraction, which helps on Forches roofs where the foam has gone brittle and is breaking into crumbs. It reduces airborne dust and makes the removal cleaner. We use it alongside our vacuum and air scrubber setup.View details →
Environmentally Friendly Insulation RemovalEnvironmentally friendly insulation removal in Forches means we separate the foam from other waste and dispose of it through licensed routes rather than sending it to landfill. We also advise on breathable replacements such as mineral wool that will not recreate the same moisture problem. Same job, cleaner outcome.View details →
Warehouse Spray Foam RemovalWarehouse spray foam removal covers the larger commercial buildings around Forches and the A39 corridor. Foam in a warehouse roof traps moisture over a huge area and can lead to rusted purlins and failed roof sheets. We survey, remove and report, working around your operating hours.View details →

How we run spray foam removal in Forches
Every spray foam removal job in Forches starts with a survey, not a sales pitch. We arrive with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter, get into the loft, and work out exactly what type of foam you have and how far
Older Devon roofs with no ventilation gap
Foam sprayed directly onto the underside of tiles or felt seals the roof completely, so any moisture that gets in has nowhere to go. On Forches properties this shows up as damp patches on ceilings and soft rafters.
How we help: We remove the foam back to the rafter faces and, where the roof design allows, reinstate a ventilation path at the eaves. We check timber moisture before and after so you can see the difference on the meter.
Narrow driveways and on-street parking
Streets around Forches Cross and Fortescue Road have limited parking, which slows down getting extraction equipment to the loft. It also affects where we can stage the waste bags and vacuum.
How we help: We plan the van position and kit route before the day, and we run hoses and cables so they do not block pavements or driveways. On tight jobs we bring the smaller extraction unit.
Foam hidden under loft boards and stored items
A lot of Forches lofts have been boarded over after the foam went in, so the extent of the problem is not visible from the hatch. That can change the job size once we start.
How we help: We lift boards carefully during the survey, photograph what is underneath, and price the job on what is actually there. If it is worse than expected, we tell you before we carry on.
