Fire Damage
Restoration
From emergency board-up to full reinstatement — specialist fire, smoke, and soot restoration with 24/7 emergency response across North West England.
What We Do
Our Fire Damage Services
Emergency Board-Up & Site Security
Immediate response to make the property safe and secure — boarding windows and doors, erecting hoarding, and preventing unauthorised access or further weather damage.
Soot & Smoke Residue Removal
Soot is corrosive and continues to cause damage long after the fire is out. Our technicians use specialist dry and wet cleaning methods to remove soot from all surfaces before permanent damage sets in.
Smoke Odour Elimination
Smoke odour penetrates deep into porous materials. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to neutralise odour at a molecular level — not just mask it.
Structural Drying
Firefighting water causes significant secondary damage. We deploy industrial drying equipment to remove moisture from the structure before reinstatement works begin.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
Salvageable contents are carefully inventoried, packed out, and cleaned at our specialist facility — restoring items where possible and reducing the overall claim cost.
Full Reinstatement
From structural repairs and plastering to decoration and flooring, our reinstatement teams restore the property to its pre-loss condition with full project management throughout.
How We Work
Our Recovery Process
Emergency Response
We mobilise within hours — securing the site, preventing further damage, and beginning the assessment process immediately.
Damage Assessment
A thorough survey documents all fire, smoke, and water damage. Thermal imaging identifies hidden moisture. A detailed scope of works is produced for insurers.
Emergency Stabilisation
Board-up, temporary weatherproofing, and structural stabilisation works make the property safe before restoration begins.
Soot & Smoke Cleaning
All soot and smoke residue is removed from surfaces, cavities, and HVAC systems using specialist dry and wet cleaning methods.
Odour Treatment
Thermal fogging, ozone, or hydroxyl treatment eliminates smoke odour throughout the property — including in soft furnishings and structural materials.
Reinstatement
Full structural and cosmetic reinstatement restores the property to pre-loss condition — or better — with a single point of contact throughout.
