Open-Cell Spray Foam Removal in Holywell, Whitley Bay
Countrywide Roofing & Insulation removed approximately 60m² of open-cell spray foam from roof boarding in a low-pitched loft in Holywell, Whitley Bay. Restricted headroom and low purlins made access a key consideration.
Project overview
| Detail | Project |
|---|---|
| Location | Holywell, Whitley Bay |
| Open-cell removal | Approximately 60m² |
| Surface beneath the foam | Roof boarding |
| Access challenge | Low pitch and restricted space towards the eaves |
Planning around limited headroom
The roof’s shallow pitch left limited space beneath the slopes. Low horizontal purlins further restricted movement towards the eaves, making these areas difficult to reach from the centre.
Access planning included a loft ladder and suitable work lighting. The scope also included removing selected unwanted items to clear the working area.
Removing foam from the boarding
The foam had been sprayed onto boarding between the roof timbers. It separated relatively easily from that surface, although the confined workspace remained an important part of the job. Our team removed foam around the rafters and larger supports, progressively exposing the boards beneath.
The photographed result
The main foam layer was removed from the photographed roof areas, leaving the boarding and rafters visible. Some surface residue remains visible in the close-ups.
This project highlights how access can shape a removal job even where the foam separates readily from the underlying material.
