Smoke damage is a huge problem that can impact both residential and commercial properties. It can leave behind unsightly, lingering odours that are difficult to remove. It can also cause discolouration of surfaces and, if left untreated, smoke residue can have a corrosive effect on many materials.
Effective smoke clean-up is vital to the long-term health and safety of buildings and their occupants. This includes both the removal of the odours associated with smoke and the deep cleaning of all surfaces and items salvaged from fire. Our teams are trained in deep cleaning techniques and use specialised professional cleaning agents to ensure a high level of clean. They can also conduct thermal fogging in smoke-damaged rooms, filling them with a non-toxic chemical vapour that neutralises residual odours and provides long-term protection against their return.
In addition, our technicians are fully trained in the assessment and mitigation of moisture problems resulting from water used to extinguish the fire or as a result of flooding from sprinkler systems. Depending on the severity of the water damage, we can extract, dry and clean the affected areas to prevent mould and further problems.
Trying to clean serious smoke damage on your own can be extremely dangerous. Certain cleaning products can react with the acidic residue and produce harmful fumes that are hazardous to breathe. Inhalation of these fumes can lead to respiratory problems and even lung damage. smoke damage cleaning london
