Closed Cell Spray Foam
Removal Specialists
The most challenging foam type — requiring specialist rotary extraction equipment. Our certified process achieves complete removal of even the densest closed-cell applications, restoring full mortgage eligibility.
Why Closed-Cell Foam Requires Specialist Equipment
Not all spray foam removal companies have the equipment or expertise to tackle closed-cell foam. Countrywide specialises in the full spectrum — including the most challenging applications.
Extreme Density
Closed-cell foam cures to a rigid, dense state — up to 10x harder than open-cell. Standard extraction equipment cannot remove it. Specialist rotary tools are required.
Vapour Barrier Effect
Closed-cell foam creates a complete vapour barrier, preventing any moisture movement through the roof structure. This causes moisture to accumulate at the foam-timber interface.
Adhesion Strength
The material bonds strongly to timber surfaces and roof covering materials. Improper removal risks damaging tiles, slates, and structural members.
Hidden Decay Risk
Because surveyors cannot inspect timbers beneath closed-cell foam, lenders classify it as an automatic non-acceptable condition regardless of the foam's age.
Tools Designed for Closed-Cell Extraction
Standard vacuum equipment cannot remove closed-cell foam. Our fleet of specialist rotary extraction systems and purpose-built tools are the reason we achieve 100% removal on every project.
Rotary Extraction System
Industrial rotary heads specifically calibrated for closed-cell foam density. Remove material in controlled layers without impacting underlying timber.
HEPA Filtration Units
Full containment with HEPA-filtered extraction ensuring no particulate contamination of the living space below.
Precision Hand Tools
Purpose-built hand tools for detail work around complex roof geometry, fixings, and timber junctions.
Moisture Monitoring
Digital moisture meters used throughout to track drying progress and ensure timber is within acceptable moisture range before certification.
