Smoke Damage Cleaning London

Smoke Damage

Any form of smoke and soot damage must be cleaned immediately and thoroughly, to prevent any form of secondary damage to your property. When smoke particles are left on surfaces, and the air has cooled, the toxins within the particles will begin to negatively react with the environment, especially when the air is moist, which will result in the partials becoming acidic. The now acidic particles will start to fester further into all surfaces it has come in contact with, slowly eroding the material away. Unprotected surfaces, mainly wood, will expand the most in the heat of the fire and allow the majority of smoke residues to fester, the longer the smoke and soot are present within the material the further the particles will deteriorate the wood, this could result in the object having to be thrown away if the acidic particles have festered for long enough.

Our highly qualified London based technicians use only the industry-leading equipment, tools and products to combat the effects caused by smoke and soot. Don’t believe us? Read our customer reviews to tell you all you need to know

Soot Damage

There are two types of soot, dry and oily. There is a quick test that our technicians will run to determine what one is present to adjust the cleaning approach. Our technicians will run their finger around an affected surface, preferable a table or wall. If the soot is to smear, it means it is an oily based residue, if not, it is a dry based residue.

• Dry soot- Caused by scorching fires burning natural ingredients at an alarmingly fast rate. Dry soot is easier to control and clean, removing it can be as simple as vacuuming it up with a HEPA filter. This type of soot has a more visual appearance; it is a dusty texture with almost no form of smell. Although it is easy to rid the visual appearance, the toxins will be around.

• Oily soot- The hardest to eradicate, this type of soot will cling to absolutely every object present within the affected area. Oily soot occurs when rubber, plastic and other products containing oils are burnt. Oily soot is entirely resistant to water-based products.
