Pilton Park
Pilton Park is a useful orientation point for the streets on the northern side of the village. Jobs around the park need timing around school and park traffic, so we schedule arrivals outside the busiest periods.

Spray foam removal services available across Pilton
Pilton foam jobs are rarely identical. One house needs a loft cleared for a mortgage, the next needs cavity wall foam extracted after a damp survey, and the one after that needs a full roof void stripped back to bare timber. We cover all of it, from a single loft in Higher Pilton to a warehouse unit on the edge of Barnstaple. If you need affordable Spray foam removal in Pilton, start with an assessment and we will tell you exactly what has to come out.
Spray Foam Removal near meWe cover Pilton Street, Pilton Causeway, Bradiford and Higher Pilton as standard, so a local call-out is usually the same day. Our van carries the spray foam removal saw, oscillating multi-tool, industrial vacuum and air scrubber, which means most lofts are stripped and cleared in one visit rather than two.View details →
Same day Spray Foam RemovalIf a surveyor is coming or a buyer is pushing for completion, we can often get to a Pilton property the same day you call. We prioritise lofts and roof voids where foam is trapping moisture, because every extra week of trapped damp means more rot in the rafters and a bigger bill later.View details →
24/7 Spray Foam RemovalStorm damage, a collapsed ceiling, or foam coming away from a roof void after heavy rain - we take emergency calls around the clock across Pilton and Barnstaple. Out of hours we make the property safe, contain any loose material, and book the full extraction for first light.View details →
Residential Spray Foam RemovalMost of our Pilton work is residential: terraces near Pilton Park, semis in Bradiford, and older detached houses around Higher Pilton. We remove open cell and closed cell foam from lofts, rafters and cavity walls, then leave the space clean enough for a new breathable insulation system or a straightforward sale.View details →
Commercial Spray Foam RemovalPilton and the surrounding Barnstaple area have a good number of small commercial units, workshops and storage buildings that were foam-insulated years ago. We work around your opening hours, use negative air machines to keep dust out of stock areas, and dispose of the removed foam under a licensed waste transfer note.View details →
Loft Spray Foam RemovalLoft foam is the single most common job we do in Pilton. Older roofs here are designed to breathe, and foam sprayed between the rafters stops that. We cut the foam back to the timber, check for rot with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera, and clear the loft so it can be re-insulated properly.View details →
Roof Spray Foam RemovalWhen foam has been sprayed directly onto the underside of a roof, the battens and felt often need to come out with it. We work from inside the roof void where possible, using a spray foam removal saw and multi-tool to protect the slates, and we replace any battens that have rotted through.View details →
Attic Spray Foam RemovalAttics in Pilton's older houses are often tight, low and full of services. We use compact tooling and an industrial vacuum to clear foam from awkward corners without disturbing pipework or cabling, and we bag and remove everything the same day so your attic is usable again.View details →
Spray Foam Insulation RemovalIf the foam in your Pilton property has failed - shrinking, cracking, or holding damp against the timbers - it needs to come out completely rather than be patched. We strip the full insulation layer, inspect what is underneath, and give you a written summary you can hand to a surveyor or lender.View details →
Open Cell Spray Foam RemovalOpen cell foam is softer and easier to cut back, but it soaks up moisture like a sponge. In Pilton's older breathable roofs that is a real problem. We remove it in sections, check the rafters for rot, and clear the dust with an air scrubber before we leave.View details →
Closed Cell Spray Foam RemovalClosed cell foam is dense, rigid and bonded hard to the timber. It is the toughest removal job we do in Pilton, and it is why we bring a spray foam removal saw plus dry ice blasting for the last stubborn layer. We take it back to clean timber without gouging the rafters.View details →
Mortgage Lender Spray Foam RemovalA lot of Pilton foam work starts with a lender saying no. Surveyors flag spray foam on older roofs because it hides rot and blocks ventilation. We remove the foam, document the condition of the timbers with photos and moisture readings, and give you the paperwork your lender or buyer needs to move forward.View details →
Insulation Removal ServiceSometimes it is not just foam - it is foam mixed with old mineral wool, loose fill and general loft debris. We clear the lot from Pilton lofts and roof voids, separate the waste streams, and leave the space ready for whatever insulation system you choose next.View details →
Insulation AssessmentBefore anyone cuts anything, we assess. For a Pilton property that means a loft inspection, thermal imaging camera survey, moisture meter readings on the timbers, and a clear explanation of what has failed and why. You get a straight answer on whether the foam has to come out or can stay.View details →
Dry Ice Blasting Spray Foam RemovalDry ice blasting is our go-to for the final layer of foam on delicate surfaces. It lifts residue off timber and plasterboard without the abrasion of sand blasting, which matters in Pilton's listed buildings where the original fabric has to be preserved. No water, no chemicals, minimal mess.View details →
Cavity Wall Spray Foam RemovalCavity wall foam was sold hard across North Devon years ago, and a fair bit of it has since failed. In Pilton we extract it through drilled access points, check the wall ties and brickwork while we are in there, and make good the holes so the elevation looks untouched.View details →
Sand Blasting Spray Foam Insulation RemovalFor hard, brittle foam bonded to masonry or blockwork, sand blasting equipment strips it back fast. We use it selectively in Pilton - usually on outbuildings, garages and commercial units - and we always set up containment and air scrubbing first so dust does not spread through the property.View details →
Thermal Spray Foam RemovalThermal removal uses controlled heat to soften foam before we cut it, which reduces the force needed on fragile timbers. It is a good option in Pilton's older roofs where the rafters are already weakened, and we follow it with a moisture check to confirm the timber is sound.View details →
Environmentally Friendly Insulation RemovalFoam waste has to be handled properly. We separate polyurethane foam from timber, plasterboard and mineral wool, bag it on site, and dispose of it through licensed waste routes. For Pilton customers who care about the environmental side, we will talk you through exactly where the waste goes.View details →
Warehouse Spray Foam RemovalLarge-span warehouse roofs around Barnstaple and the Pilton fringe often carry thick spray foam that has cracked or delaminated. We work in phases to keep the building operational, using negative air machines and industrial vacuums to control dust, and we schedule the noisy work outside your busy hours.View details →

How we run spray foam removal in Pilton
Pilton's building stock shapes how we work. The conservation area around Pilton Street and St Mary's Church means we cannot just park a skip and start swinging tools - we plan access, protect original features, and use d
Foam sealing breathable timber roofs in older Pilton houses
Older Pilton roofs rely on airflow through the loft to keep rafters dry. When foam seals that off, moisture builds up, timber rots, and the roof structure weakens over a few winters.
How we help: We remove the foam back to bare timber, check every rafter with a moisture meter, and leave the roof able to breathe again. Where rot has taken hold, we cut out the affected sections and replace them before any new insulation goes in.
Restricted access and parking around Pilton Street
The conservation area and narrow streets near St Mary's Church make it hard to position a van, let alone a waste skip. That slows a job down if it is not planned properly.
How we help: We survey access before the job and book any permits we need. Waste is bagged and carried out rather than skipped on the street, and we keep the van close enough to run tools without blocking residents or the school run at Pilton Community College.
Foam hiding rot before a mortgage valuation
Surveyors flagging spray foam on a Pilton property often cannot see the true condition of the timbers underneath. That stalls sales and mortgage offers until the foam is out.
How we help: We remove the foam, photograph the exposed timbers, and record moisture readings as we go. You get a clear written summary of what we found, which is exactly what a lender or buyer needs to see before they proceed.

We know the route
Getting around Pilton
Pilton is small enough that we know it street by street, but the landmarks still matter for scheduling. Pilton Park and Pilton Community College create school-run traffic that shapes when we can get a van in. North Devon District Hospital sits just to the south, and its access roads are the quickest route into the village from Barnstaple. St Mary's Church and the conservation area around Pilton Street tell us straight away that a job will need careful access and non-abrasive removal methods.
Pilton Community College
The college sits on the main route through the village. We avoid drop-off and pick-up times when moving kit or waste, because the road gets tight and parking disappears fast.
St Mary's Church
St Mary's Church anchors the historic part of Pilton. Its presence tells us we are in the conservation area, which means listed fabric, careful access and non-abrasive foam removal methods.
North Devon District Hospital
The hospital is the main landmark south of the village and the quickest way in from Barnstaple. We use its access roads as our standard route when heading to Pilton for an early start.

Call 0127 159 4024 →Most Pilton loft jobs run from around 1,200 to 2,800 in 2026, with full roof voids and timber repairs going higher. Cavity wall extraction typically sits between 1,500 and 3,500. The final figure depends on foam type, access and whether any rafters need replacing. We quote after an assessment so there are no surprises.
The right company is the one that assesses before quoting, uses the proper tooling, and gives you a written report you can hand to a lender. We have worked across Pilton since 2022, carry full insurance, and document every job with photos and moisture readings. Ask any contractor those three questions before you book.
