Smoke odour removal FAQs: Your questions answered

The lingering smell of smoke after a fire incident can be incredibly distressing and notoriously difficult to eliminate through conventional cleaning. These stubborn odours don’t just cling to surfaces; they permeate porous materials, clothing, and even your property’s ventilation system, often requiring professional intervention to truly eradicate. Here, we provide expert answers to common questions about effectively removing smoke odours from properties across the UK

How do you permanently remove the smell of smoke after a fire?

We use a combination of advanced techniques to achieve the best results. Our primary method involves state-of-the-art BIOSWEEP® technology, which is highly effective at neutralising smoke odours at a molecular level. Depending on the scope of the job, we may also utilise HEPA vacuuming for particulate removal and thermal fogging for deep penetration and odour elimination, ensuring your property is left completely fresh.

Do you guarantee complete smoke odour removal?

Yes, absolutely. We provide a 100% guarantee on complete smoke odour removal for your UK home or business. Our powerful BIOSWEEP® technology is specifically designed to eliminate even pervasive smoke odours permanently. We break down and neutralise odour-causing molecules, ensuring your property is left truly fresh, clean, and permanently odour-free for your complete peace of mind.

How long does it take to permanently remove smoke odour?

The duration for permanent smoke odour removal typically depends on the size of the affected area and the severity of the odour. With our rapid BIOSWEEP® treatment, affected areas can often be completely free of smoke odour within 3 to 12 hours. We’ll provide a precise estimate during our assessment.

Can you remove the smell of cigarette smoke from a property?

Whether it’s from a property fire or long-term cigarette use, we can restore your home or business to a clean, fresh-smelling environment. The treatment time typically falls within the 3-12 hour range, depending on the severity and size of the affected area.

How quickly can you start removing smoke odour from my property?

We understand the urgency of smoke odour removal. Once payment for the work is confirmed, our team will promptly schedule your service. While we often offer appointments for the next day, we guarantee to schedule your service within one week at the very latest, getting your property fresh as quickly as possible.

Is Ideal Response accredited for smoke odour removal in the UK?

Yes, definitely. Ideal Response is a fully accredited smoke odour removal provider in the UK. Our team is extensively trained and IICRC-certified to the highest industry standards. We adhere strictly to all relevant UK health and safety regulations (e.g. HSE guidelines), ensuring every smoke odour removal job meets the quality, safety, and effectiveness benchmarks you expect, providing complete peace of mind.

How do you test or confirm that all smoke odour is completely gone from my property?

Beyond our 100% guarantee, we employ professional testing to confirm complete smoke odour removal. This often includes ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) testing on surfaces to verify hygiene levels, alongside experienced technicians conducting final sensory inspections. For sensitive cases, we can also advise on post-remediation air quality testing by independent specialists to provide objective proof that your UK property’s environment is truly free from smoke contaminants and odours.

Are the products and processes you use for smoke odour removal safe for my family, pets, and valuables?

Absolutely. The safety of your family, pets, and valuables is our top priority. We utilise professional-grade, environmentally responsible products and non-toxic processes like our BIOSWEEP® technology that are specifically formulated to safely neutralise smoke odours without leaving harmful residues. All our methods comply with stringent UK health and safety guidelines. Our technicians wear appropriate PPE, and we advise on re-entry times, ensuring your UK home or business is completely safe and healthy once our smoke odour removal process is complete.

What do I need to do to prepare my property before your smoke odour removal team arrives?

To ensure the most efficient and effective smoke odour removal process, a few preparatory steps can be helpful, though our team will handle the heavy lifting. If safe to do so, we advise removing small, non-essential valuables and personal items from affected areas. While not always necessary, consolidating larger items can aid access. Importantly, ensure all utilities (gas, electricity, water) are safely isolated if there was a fire. Our UK smoke odour removal experts will provide specific guidance tailored to your situation during the initial call, ensuring everything is ready for a seamless restoration.
