Understanding Fire & Smoke Damage
The damage caused by fire and smoke can vary greatly depending on the time elapsed between the incident and the remediation process. Common issues include:
• Acid Soot Residue: This residue can corrode surfaces and cause plastics to
yellow, leading to irreversible damage.
•Permanent Discoloration: Porous materials, like marble, may
suffer permanent discoloration if not treated promptly.
• Staining: Smoke can stain tile grout, paint, carpets, and appliances,
making them unsalvageable.
• Furniture and Fixture Damage: Discoloration can occur on textiles and
surfaces, affecting the aesthetics of your home.
• Metal Corrosion: Fire can weaken metal structures, posing safety risks.
• Damage to Wood and Vinyl:
These materials may require extensive refinishing to restore their
original look.
• Permanent Damage: Valuable items such as silver, glass, crystal, and
china can be irreparably damaged by smoke.
Professional Screening Assessments for Safer Properties
Our Proven Odor Removal Process
Removing the smell of smoke is crucial for restoring your space. Here’s how our team tackles it:
1. Source Removal: We start by eliminating debris and irreparable items to
prevent further contamination.
2. Thorough Cleaning: All non-salvageable items are cleaned to remove any
lingering smoke particles.
3. Deodorization: A specialised deodorising fog is applied to effectively
neutralize odors in affected areas.
4. Sealing: Inaccessible or slightly damaged surfaces are sealed to contain
odors and enhance visual appeal, ensuring a fresh environment.
Cost of Remediation
The cost of fire and smoke remediation varies based on several factors:
• Extent of Damage: More severe damage requires more extensive work,
impacting costs.
• Time Since Incident: The longer you wait, the more complicated and costly
the remediation can become.
• Length and Complexity of the Process: The specific techniques and duration
of the cleanup affect the overall price.

Why Timing Matters
• Fire and smoke damage increases—along with restoration costs—the longer
cleaning and neutralization are postponed. Our professionals work promptly
to mitigate these effects.
