Fire Damage Cleaning

Expert Fire and Smoke Damage Cleaning Service

Whether it is a house fire or commercial property, the damage caused by a fire can have a devastating impact on businesses and homes, as they can cause structural damage  and leave premises uninhabitable for a long period of time. In addition to visual and physical damage, soot damage to the ceiling, walls and furniture, fire damage can also have secondary effects that can lead to health problems as well as corrosion. 

Therefore, it is essential that fire damage is assessed and cleaned up as soon it is safe to do so. Not only can it cause financial loss, but a delay or failure to do so can lead to further deterioration of the building and equipment. 

We understand the devastating impact of fire damage, and offer a professional fire damage restoration and cleanup service, with a fast and empathetic response.

When a fire occurs, porous surfaces expand allowing the soot and smoke odours to enter. Once the surface begins to cool, the pores will then close, trapping in the soot particles, smoke and odours. If this fire damage is not removed and cleaned correctly, when air temperature rises, this soot and odour particles can be released through open pores on the surface, becoming a health risk to those in the room.

Smoke from fires often travels from areas differing in temperature and pressure, enabling soot damage and odours to spread throughout the building from where the initial fire began. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the surrounding area beyond the visual damage and debris, to help prevent and minimise further damage and associated health risks.

EcoBlasting is a method of using compressed air and a blasting pot, filled with an abrasive (for fire damage restoration this is usually bicarbonate of soda). The abrasive is blasted from the hose onto the surface, removing the carbon and soot. The process removes any coating to the surface, but is not aggressive and can be used on virtually any surface.

Rentokil Specialist Hygiene's professional EcoBlasting service will revive a site which has been affected by fire, removing both the visual aspects of fire damage as well as the associated odours.
