Fire and smoke damage cleaning to get you back in quickly
Smoke and soot travel much further than the flames and are acidic, so they keep damaging surfaces the longer they're left. We clean soot from structures and contents, treat smoke odour at source and prepare the building for redecoration or repair.

Fire and smoke damage cleaning: common questions
Can smoke-damaged items be saved?
Often, yes. Hard surfaces and many contents can be cleaned. We'll tell you honestly what can be restored and what will cost more to clean than to replace.
How do you get rid of the smoke smell?
We remove residue first, because that's what holds the odour, then treat the air and structure with the method that suits the building and whether it's occupied.
When can you start after a fire?
As soon as the fire service has released the building and it's safe to enter. Starting early limits acid etching and staining.
Is it safe to clean soot ourselves?
Soot is acidic and can contain harmful particles, and wiping it often smears it deeper into surfaces. Specialist dry-cleaning methods and respiratory protection give a better and safer result.
Can you clean electronics and machinery?
We can clean soot from many hard contents and equipment surfaces. Sensitive electronics should be checked by a qualified technician before being powered up.
