We cover the whole of Gorwell, from Gorwell Road up to Gorwell Park and across to Rumsam, and we can usually get to you the same day if you need a surveyor or lender satisfied quickly. If you need affordable Spray foam removal in Gorwell, we quote from the loft itself, not from a photo.

You get the loft back clean enough to re-insulate with mineral wool the same week.View details →
Commercial Spray Foam RemovalCommercial spray foam removal in Gorwell covers shops, workshops and light industrial units on the edge of the suburb. We work out of hours so your business keeps trading, and we handle the waste paperwork. Larger roofs are surveyed with a thermal imaging camera before we quote.View details →
Loft Spray Foam RemovalLoft Spray foam removal in Gorwell is our most common call. Foam sprayed between rafters stops the roof breathing, and in a damp North Devon climate that shows up as condensation and black staining on the timbers. We cut the foam back flush, treat any rot and leave the roof able to dry.View details →
Roof Spray Foam RemovalRoof spray foam removal in Gorwell includes foam applied directly to the underside of the felt or sarking boards. We work from inside the loft where possible, using dry ice blasting to lift foam off felt without tearing it. Where the felt is already perished, we tell you straight away.View details →
Attic Spray Foam RemovalAttic spray foam removal covers the smaller, awkward roof spaces common in older Gorwell properties near Sticklepath Hill, where you cannot stand up and there is no room to swing a saw. We use an oscillating multi-tool and hand tools to work in tight bays without damaging the rafters.View details →
Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSpray foam insulation removal in Gorwell means taking out the whole system, not just the visible face. We remove foam, any trapped debris and the dust, then confirm with a moisture meter that the timbers are reading dry. You get a written summary you can hand to a lender.View details →
Open Cell Spray Foam RemovalOpen cell spray foam is softer and comes away more easily, but it still holds moisture against the timber. Across Gorwell we remove it with a saw and industrial vacuum, then check the rafters for rot. Most open cell lofts in EX31 2 are cleared in under a day.View details →
Closed Cell Spray Foam RemovalClosed cell spray foam is dense, hard and bonded tight to the timber, which is why lenders flag it so often. In Gorwell we remove it with a spray foam removal saw and dry ice blasting, working bay by bay. It takes longer than open cell, but the timber underneath is usually sound.View details →
Mortgage Lender Spray Foam RemovalMortgage lender spray foam removal is a big part of our Gorwell work. Surveyors flag foam on the rafters, the lender withholds funds, and the sale stalls. We remove the foam, document the condition of the timbers with photos, and give you a report your lender and buyer can accept.View details →
Insulation Removal ServiceOur insulation removal service in Gorwell covers foam, mineral wool and mixed installations where a previous owner added one on top of the other. We separate the materials, bag them and dispose of everything correctly. You get a clear loft and a clean surface to start again.View details →
Insulation AssessmentAn insulation assessment in Gorwell tells you whether the foam actually needs to come out. We check foam type, coverage, timber moisture and ventilation with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera. Sometimes the answer is targeted removal and better ventilation, not a full strip-out, and we will say so.View details →
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam RemovalDry ice blasting is our cleanest method for Gorwell lofts. Pellets freeze the foam so it releases from the timber, then it lifts away without water, chemicals or abrasion. It is ideal where the roof felt is fragile or the loft sits directly above a finished bedroom.View details →
Cavity Wall Spray Foam RemovalCavity wall spray foam removal in Gorwell applies to properties where foam was injected into the wall cavity and is now holding damp against the inner leaf. We inspect with a thermal imaging camera, then remove the foam through controlled access points and clear the cavity.View details →
Sand Blasting Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSand blasting spray foam insulation removal is used on Gorwell roofs where foam has bonded to brick, stone or rough sarking and cannot be cut away cleanly. We control the dust with an air scrubber and negative air machine, and we mask the loft hatch and stairwell before we start.View details →
Thermal Spray Foam RemovalThermal spray foam removal covers foam that has been applied in thick, uneven layers, common where a DIY kit was used on a Gorwell loft. We map the thickness first, then remove in controlled passes so the rafters are not overloaded or damaged. The roof is left ready for a breathable insulation system.View details →
Environmentally Friendly Insulation RemovalEnvironmentally friendly insulation removal in Gorwell means we separate foam, timber debris and packaging so as much as possible is recycled rather than landfilled. Our dry ice method uses no water or solvents. We dispose of isocyanate-bearing foam through licensed waste routes.View details →
Warehouse Spray Foam RemovalWarehouse spray foam removal covers the larger commercial roofs around Gorwell and the Barnstaple industrial fringe. These are usually steel or concrete deck roofs with thick closed cell foam. We survey, phase the work around your operating hours and clear the site each day.View details →

How we run spray foam removal in Gorwell
Gorwell lofts are mostly tight, pitched roofs with limited headroom, and a lot of them have been re-insulated at least once since the foam went in. That matters, because you cannot just cut foam out and walk away. We sta
High humidity near the Taw estuary
Gorwell sits close to the Tarka Trail and the estuary, so lofts here hold moisture longer than inland properties. Foam that seals a roof completely traps that moisture against the rafters, and we regularly find staining and early rot on the underside of timbers.
How we help: We read every rafter with a moisture meter before and after removal, treat any affected timber with a preservative, and leave the roof able to dry. Where ventilation is poor we tell you what needs adding before new insulation goes in, so the same problem does not come back.
Mixed roof construction across the suburb
Gorwell has older rendered properties, post-war semis and newer extensions, often on the same street. Foam behaves differently on each. Closed cell foam on a cold deck is far harder to remove than open cell foam sprayed between rafters in a ventilated loft.
How we help: We identify the foam type and roof build-up at the survey, then pick the method to match. Open cell comes out with a saw and industrial vacuum. Closed cell and foam bonded to felt get dry ice blasting or sand blasting, with the dust controlled by an air scrubber.
Tight loft access and narrow streets
Many Gorwell lofts have small hatches, low purlins and limited room to work. Add narrow parking on Gorwell Lane and around Sticklepath Hill and a big van can become a problem before the job even starts.
How we help: We survey the access as carefully as the roof. Kit is broken down to fit through the hatch, and we schedule around the school run near Sticklepath Primary School. If parking is restricted we agree the van position with you in advance so nothing is blocked.

Getting around Gorwell and the surrounding area
Gorwell is a residential suburb on the south side of Barnstaple, and we use the local landmarks to plan routes and parking rather than relying on sat-nav alone. Gorwell Park is a useful central marker when we are booking multiple jobs in the suburb, and Sticklepath Primary School tells us when the roads will be busy with parents. The Tarka Trail runs close by and gives us a clear reference point for the eastern edge of the area. Barnstaple Rugby Club is another easy marker when we are heading towards the town side. Knowing the streets around these points means we can give you a realistic arrival window rather than a vague all-day slot.
Sticklepath Primary School
Marks the Sticklepath Hill side of Gorwell. We plan van access and parking around school drop-off and pick-up times so we do not block the road while working nearby.
Barnstaple Rugby Club
A recognisable marker on the Barnstaple side of the suburb, helpful for confirming which side of Gorwell a job sits on when we are scheduling the day's route.
Tarka Trail
The trail runs close to the eastern edge of Gorwell and gives us a clear geographic reference for properties backing onto the green corridor, where roof ventilation and damp readings often differ.

Gorwell Spray foam removal FAQ
Spray foam removal in Gorwell: your questions answered
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
Call 0127 159 4024 →Most Gorwell lofts cost between 1,600 and 2,400 pounds in 2026, with small open cell jobs from around 1,200 pounds and large closed cell roofs up to 3,500 pounds or more. Foam type, loft size, access and whether the timbers need treatment all affect the price. We survey for free and give you a fixed quote from the loft itself.
Look for a contractor who surveys before quoting, uses proper extraction kit and gives you written documentation. We have worked Gorwell lofts since 2022, run air scrubbers and negative air machines on every job, and provide photo records and moisture readings your lender will accept. Ask any company those same questions and compare the answers.
Yes. We cover the whole Gorwell area, including Gorwell Road, Sticklepath Hill, Rumsam and Gorwell Park, plus the EX31 2, EX31 3 and EX32 8 postcodes. Standard appointments run Monday to Saturday, and same day spray foam removal is often possible if you call before midday. Our 24/7 line handles urgent call-outs.
A standard open cell loft in Gorwell is cleared in a single day. Closed cell foam takes longer because it is dense and bonded tight to the timber, so allow one to two days. Tight lofts with small hatches, like some on Sticklepath Hill, can add half a day. We confirm the timescale at the survey.
In most cases, yes. Lenders and surveyors flag spray foam because it can hide rot and block ventilation, and funds are usually withheld until it is gone. Once we remove the foam and document the timber condition with photos and moisture readings, most Gorwell sales complete without further delay.
