Spray foam removal in Ilfracombe is a specialist job, and Union Trust Spray Foam has been doing it here since 2022. We know the town's building stock inside out: the Victorian properties around Torrs Park and Chambercombe, the post-war homes up at Hele, and the holiday lets and second homes that sit empty for months at a time. Coastal humidity and salt air are hard on spray foam, and we see the results constantly, from open cell foam that has crumbled to closed cell foam that has trapped moisture against roof timbers. Our team uses dry ice blasting machines, oscillating multi-tools and industrial vacuums to take foam out without wrecking the plasterboard or timber underneath. We are not a general builder who dabbles in insulation. Spray foam extraction is all we do, and we do it across Ilfracombe and the wider North Devon area.

Ilfracombe has a higher-than-average share of older properties and a lot of them were spray-foamed in the 2000s and 2010s under grant schemes. Now those homeowners are trying to sell, remortgage or fix cold and damp problems, and the foam is in the way. Lenders often refuse mortgages when spray foam is present in a roof space, and surveyors flag it as a risk. We also get called to holiday lets around the harbour where foam has failed and left condensation problems. The demand here is real and constant, and it is not the same as what you see inland.
