Cleaning after a fire
Once the fire is out, the damage carries on: acid soot corrodes, the smell soaks in, the extinguishing water drenches. Between the firefighters and the tradesmen sits our trade — making the building recoverable, then recovered.
Phase by phase
Clear, decontaminate, prepare
Clearing opens the job: charred debris sorted and removed, destroyed furniture taken out, zones secured in line with the building's constraints. The sorting separates the unsalvageable from what decontamination can save — people always discard too fast after a fire.
Decontamination then tackles the soot on each family of surfaces with the suitable technique — gentle chemistry, special sponges, blasting — and also deals with the extinguishing water: drenched floors, waterlogged plaster, a mould risk stacked on top of the fire. Drying starts in this phase.
Air and odour remain: fine particles captured by filtered vacuuming, the smoke smell destroyed by air treatment. When we leave, the tradesmen work on clean, dry, odour-free supports — and your insurer holds a complete photographic file.
After a fire: what to know
More than people think, if action is fast: metals and hard surfaces decontaminate well, textiles and electronics depend on exposure. We sort with you, item by item — and the insurance adjuster has a say on what goes.
After the fire, every day counts
Soot embeds in days, not weeks: call as soon as the premises are accessible.
