Spray Foam in Alphington Homes
Alphington keeps the feel of a village, with its church and older houses at the centre, surrounded by post-war and later family homes on Exeter’s south-western edge.
We remove spray foam from Alphington homes of every age, adjusting our approach to older roofs where needed.
Typical Alphington Roofs
- Older properties near the church may have traditional roofs, older timbers and, in some cases, cob walls.
- Post-war semis and bungalows have tiled roofs, often hipped.
- Newer homes on the edges usually have trussed roofs.
Local Notes
If your Alphington home is one of the older village properties, tell us when you enquire. Cob and old timbers need a slower approach, and we’ll plan for it.

Lenders, Buyers and Surveyors
If your sale or remortgage has stalled over spray foam, get the requirement in writing so the quote matches it.
Taking the foam out can answer their concerns, but it doesn’t guarantee approval — read more on spray foam and mortgages.
