Secondary Damage

Soot

Ash

The risks that come as a result of ash exposure are extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Our expert technicians are fully equipped with the PPE and cleaning equipment necessary to safely and efficiently remove all harmful substances from your property after a fire.

Smoke Damage

After a fire, the lingering odour can be enough to prevent the building from being habitable, even once the clean-up is complete. If not treated correctly, fire smoke odour can remain in a building for an indefinite amount of time; becoming trapped behind walls, in cavities and embedded into the fabric of the building and upholstery.

Smoke residue is also corrosive, meaning it will begin to eat away at surfaces if left for an extended period of time. During a fire the pores of surfaces open up due to high temperatures, allowing the smoke particles to penetrate deeper. It is important your hire an expert fire damage East Sussex provider to fully remove any particles left after a fire, in order to avoid lingering odour and potential structural issues.

HEPA Filters
