Our Briefing

Soot and smoke damage from the neighbouring fire had forced the store to close, this was having a significant impact on the business. Soot and smoke damage had affected the entire unit including fixtures and fittings and was in less visible places. Our brief was to decontaminate the environment by removing all traces of soot and smoke, thoroughly de-grease and complete the fire damage cleanup process with a treatment to remove all odour caused by the fire damage.

The Technical Part

Soot is acidic and corrosive, it damages substances it contacts and is hazardous to health. Fire in the neighbouring unit had caused deposition of particulate matter throughout the unit. Walls, floors and ceilings as well as fixtures and fittings were coated with soot which would be causing damage to all surfaces. HEPA rated air scrubbing machines were installed to remove all particulate matter from the air leaving it purified. All surfaces were scrubbed and degreased, fixtures and fittings were also thoroughly cleaned to remove all soot. The procedure was completed with BioSweep ® treatment (BS900), a five-stage photocatalytic process to completely remove all malodours. Ideal Response provided a 100% odour removal guarantee certificate for our client.
