FAQs
What’s the difference between fire types?
Different materials create different fire types. For example, protein fires (from burned food) leave an oily, pungent residue, while slow-burning fires (such as smouldering plastics) produce acidic soot that can corrode surfaces. We tailor restoration methods accordingly.
How long does fire restoration take?
It depends on the severity and size of the property. We provide realistic timeframes after the initial assessment.
Is it safe to stay in the property?
Only if air quality and safety have been confirmed. In many cases, temporary relocation is advised until decontamination is complete.
What should I do with damaged contents?
Leave them in place for us to assess, photograph, and document. We’ll advise which items are restorable and which are BER (beyond economic repair).
