Instow Beach
The beach runs along the front and is the easiest way to orient a job on Marine Parade or the seafront streets. If your property faces the beach, we know which access point to use.

Spray foam removal services available in Instow
Demand in Instow splits roughly three ways: loft and attic foam in older village properties, cavity wall foam in post-war housing, and commercial foam in the holiday lets and storage buildings along the estuary. Because so many homes here are second properties, we often get called after a long empty winter when the owner arrives and finds damp. If you have been searching for affordable spray foam removal in Instow, the fastest route is a phone call and a photo of the loft.

Commercial Spray Foam RemovalCommercial spray foam removal in Instow covers holiday lets, guest houses, workshops and storage units near Instow Quay. We work around your booking calendar, often stripping foam from roof voids in the shoulder season so the property is ready before the next let. Out-of-hours work is available.View details →
Loft Spray Foam RemovalLoft spray foam removal is our most common Instow job. Older lofts on Anstey Way and around Instow Village were often foamed at the rafters, which kills ventilation. We cut the foam back with a spray foam removal saw and oscillating multi-tool, clear the debris, and restore airflow through the roof space.View details →
Roof Spray Foam RemovalRoof spray foam removal in Instow usually follows a surveyor's report or visible sagging. Foam applied directly to the underside of roof timbers traps moisture and hides rot. We remove it, inspect the timber with a moisture meter, and treat or replace what has failed before any new insulation goes in.View details →
Attic Spray Foam RemovalAttic spray foam removal covers the smaller roof voids in Instow's older terraces and cottages. Access is often tight, so we use compact extraction kit and hand tools rather than heavy machinery. Most attic jobs in the EX39 5 area are cleared and cleaned in a single day.View details →
Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSpray foam insulation removal in Instow means taking out the foam and the mess it left behind. We remove foam, vacuum out dust and debris with an industrial vacuum, check for condensation damage, and leave the loft ready for mineral wool or a breathable insulation system that suits a coastal property.View details →
Open Cell Spray Foam RemovalOpen cell spray foam removal is common in Instow lofts because it was often sold as a cheap fix. It is softer and easier to cut than closed cell, but it still traps moisture against rafters. We strip it back, clean the timber and restore ventilation so the roof can dry out.View details →
Closed Cell Spray Foam RemovalClosed cell spray foam removal is the harder job. This foam sets rock hard, so we use a spray foam removal saw, oscillating multi-tool and, where the foam is bonded tight to timber, dry ice blasting. Instow properties with closed cell foam in roof voids usually need two to four days.View details →
Mortgage Lender Spray Foam RemovalMortgage lender spray foam removal in Instow is a deadline job. When a lender or surveyor flags spray foam, the sale stalls until it is gone and the roof void is documented. We provide a clear method statement, photos before and after, and a written summary your lender or solicitor can use.View details →
Insulation Removal ServiceOur insulation removal service in Instow covers spray foam, old mineral wool and contaminated insulation in one visit. We assess what is there, remove what has failed, and dispose of it correctly. Most Instow properties are cleared in one to three days depending on loft size.View details →
Insulation AssessmentAn insulation assessment in Instow tells you what you actually have before you spend money. We use a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter to check foam type, timber condition and ventilation. You get a plain-English report with photos, usually within 24 hours of the visit.View details →
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam RemovalDry ice blasting is our cleanest method for spray foam removal in Instow. It freezes the foam so it releases from timber and plasterboard without gouging the surface, and it leaves no grit or water behind. It suits older Instow properties where the roof timbers are too fragile for mechanical cutting.View details →
Cavity Wall Spray Foam RemovalCavity wall spray foam removal in Instow is usually driven by a mortgage or a damp problem. Foam injected into a cavity can bridge the gap and pull moisture inward. We remove it section by section, inspect the wall ties, and clear the cavity so it can drain and breathe again.View details →
Sand Blasting Spray Foam Insulation RemovalSand blasting spray foam insulation removal is used on Instow properties with hard, bonded foam on brick or stone. It strips the foam back to the substrate, but it is a controlled, contained process - we seal the area and run air scrubbing throughout so dust never reaches the rest of the house.View details →
Thermal Spray Foam RemovalThermal spray foam removal uses heat to soften foam that has bonded tightly to roof timbers. In Instow's older properties, this is often the safest way to lift foam off fragile rafters without splitting the wood. We follow it with a moisture check on every timber we expose.View details →
Environmentally Friendly Insulation RemovalEnvironmentally friendly insulation removal in Instow means we separate waste streams, bag foam for correct disposal, and avoid chemical strippers wherever possible. Dry ice blasting and mechanical removal are our defaults. We leave the loft clean and ready for a breathable insulation system suited to a coastal home.View details →
Warehouse Spray Foam RemovalWarehouse spray foam removal covers the larger storage and commercial buildings around Instow and the EX39 industrial units. These jobs need industrial vacuum extraction, air scrubbers and negative air machines to keep dust contained. We work around your operating hours, including nights and weekends.View details →

How we execute spray foam removal in Instow
Every Instow job starts with an assessment, not a quote from a photo alone. We check the foam type - open cell, closed cell or polyurethane - and test the timber with a moisture meter before we touch anything. On the coa
High humidity and salt air on the estuary
Roof voids in Instow hold moisture longer than inland Devon properties, so foam that looked fine can be hiding damp timber underneath. Removal has to include a drying phase, not just a strip-out.
How we help: We run moisture meter readings on every exposed timber and leave ventilation paths open. Where readings are high, we recommend a drying period before any new insulation goes back in, and we re-check before we sign the job off.
Holiday homes empty through winter
Second properties around Instow Quay and Sandhills often sit unheated for months. Condensation builds in the loft, foam traps it, and the owner only finds out when they arrive in spring to a damp smell.
How we help: We schedule removal in the shoulder season so the property is dry and ready before the next let. For owners who are not local, we send photo updates at each stage and a written summary at the end.
Tight access on Marine Parade and Instow Quay
Narrow streets and limited parking mean we cannot always get a large van or extraction unit right outside. That affects how quickly we can set up and how much waste we can move per trip.
How we help: We survey access before the job day, use compact extraction kit where needed, and bag waste for removal in smaller loads. It adds a little time but keeps the street clear and the neighbours happy.

We know the route
Landmarks we use to navigate Instow
Instow is small enough that we know it street by street, but landmarks still help when we are booking jobs and giving arrival times. If you are directing us to your property, mention the nearest landmark and we will find you.
Instow Quay
The quay marks the western end of the village and the tightest access streets. We use it as a reference point when planning where to park and how far we need to run extraction hoses.
Instow Cricket Club
The cricket ground sits inland from the seafront and helps us separate the village streets from the Sandhills side. Useful for confirming which side of Instow a property sits on.
North Devon Yacht Club
Based at Instow Quay, the yacht club is a clear marker for the waterfront properties and the surrounding lanes. It helps us plan access on busy summer weekends.

Instow Spray foam removal FAQ
Spray foam removal in Instow - FAQs
Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
Call 0127 159 4024 →Most Instow jobs run from 1,200 to 4,500 pounds in 2026, with the average landing between 1,800 and 3,000 pounds. Open cell loft foam sits at the lower end. Closed cell foam, timber repairs and tight access around Instow Quay or Marine Parade push it higher. We quote after an assessment, not over the phone.
The right company is the one that checks your timber, restores ventilation and gives you documentation, not just the cheapest quote. We have worked Instow since 2022, hold CHAS and Constructionline accreditation, and provide a written summary after every job. Ask any contractor those three questions before you book.
Yes. We cover all of Instow, including Instow Village, Marine Parade, Instow Quay, Anstey Way and Sandhills, plus the EX39 4 and EX39 5 postcodes. Same day spray foam removal in Instow is often possible if you call before midday, and we run a 24/7 line for emergencies.
A small open cell loft takes one day. A typical Instow roof void with closed cell foam takes two to four days, depending on access and timber condition. If rot is found, add a day or two for treatment or replacement. We give you a realistic timeline at the assessment, not an optimistic one.
Not when it is done properly. We match the removal method to the foam type and the condition of the timber. Dry ice blasting and thermal removal lift foam off fragile rafters without gouging them, and we use hand tools in tight loft spaces. Any damage found underneath is documented and repaired before we finish.
