Purecore Spray Foam Insulate handles spray foam removal jobs throughout Heslington, focusing on the mix of 1960s university buildings and older village homes that line Main Street and surrounding lanes. Crews work from the central York base at 48 Coney Street and reach Heslington properties the same day or night, bringing equipment suited to narrow village access and the larger open campus sites.
Heslington sits on flat ground near the lake on the University of York campus, so moisture levels stay higher than in many other York neighbourhoods. Removal teams check for trapped damp behind foam in both the post-war student accommodation blocks and the Victorian cottages closer to the village green before any extraction begins.
Homeowners and university maintenance teams in Heslington call the 24/7 line when foam starts to fail around window reveals or in roof voids. Work is scheduled around term times on campus and around school runs at Heslington Primary School to keep disruption low.

Spray Foam Removal in Heslington — Local Notes
- •Heslington village properties often sit on tight plots with shared driveways, so removal rigs must be positioned on the street and hoses run through gardens.
- •University of York buildings from the 1960s and 1970s frequently contain sprayed foam in plant rooms and roof voids that needs removal before new insulation can be installed.
- •The flat terrain and proximity to the campus lake mean higher ground moisture, requiring extra drying time after foam is taken out of wall cavities.
- •Narrow lanes around St. Paul's Church and the village pond limit vehicle size, so smaller tools and manual removal methods are used on many jobs.
