Smoke damage cleaning
Specialist equipment and cleaning chemicals are used in combination to remove all traces of smoke residue from services. Preventing corrosive damage and lingering smoke odour from becoming embedded in porous surfaces and materials. Explore the smoke damage cleaning service.

Smoke odour removal
We don’t believe in temporary fixes; we focus on complete odour elimination. Utilising cutting-edge deodorisation technologies such as thermal fogging, vapour-phase treatment, and the powerful BIOSWEEP® system, we attack and neutralise persistent odours at their molecular source. This guarantees a safe, breathable, and truly fresh environment for your property in London. Learn more about smoke odour removal.

Soot & ash cleaning
The toxic aftermath of a fire requires precision. Lingering soot and ash can mark soft furnishings and quickly stain porous surfaces if they are not professionally managed. Our London teams implement a strictly controlled removal process that meticulously extracts residues layer by layer. This rigorous approach effectively prevents harmful cross-contamination and focuses on preserving the long-term condition and appearance of all exposed contents and building materials. Understand how the soot and ash cleaning service works.
