Fire Smoke Odour Removal Specialists

We guarantee an excellent level of service and outstanding results every time.

When our specialists come to your location for a risk assessment, they identify any possible hazards and the source of the odour. We use the most effective odour neutralisation approach for the circumstances and begin the operation with a 6-stage treatment.

In our odour-removal method, we employ technologically advanced and industrial-grade solutions. This ensures that no traces of soot or smoke odour are left behind. We treat all surfaces in the home that are safe to reach as part of our solutions, including ceilings, walls, floors, and upholstery.

Our professionals will clean the air and eliminate any hazardous substances or pollutants that might be present on your premises. We always remain on-site until you are pleased with the outcomes of our work and assist you in disposing of any contaminated objects.

Can soot encourage mould growth?

Aside from soot and smoke damage, your home is vulnerable to other threats you may not have considered. Mould is one of these problems, even though it is not usually associated with house fires.

However, if wet substances or chemicals put out the fire, warmth and damp will be present. Soot left alone for a long time can also contribute to this due to the high levels of moisture they retain. This creates a perfect environment for mould to grow and possibly inflict severe structural damage.

Mould might not be as damaging to people as soot, but it can still create symptoms and exacerbate the decay of your home. Because mould starts to grow 48 hours after a fire, you must air your property and place a dehumidifier in moist areas.

How to reduce smoke odours in general

Smoke odours can be caused by everyday things that go unnoticed. The chimney of your fireplace may be coated with soot or cigarette smoke could be seeping into your home from the outside. You should do the following to keep your home free of smoke and odours:

• Open doors and windows frequently to ventilate your home.
• Install an extractor fan over the hob in the kitchen.
• Make sure to clean your chimney at least twice a year.
• Before going to bed, extinguish any open fires in your home.
• When using a grill outside, ensure that all windows and doors are closed.
• Smoke at least ten feet away from your home, with the doors and windows closed.

Do smoke odours mean there is carbon monoxide present?

When burning organic fuels such as wood or coal, black smoke emerges from the flames, which is carbon created by incomplete combustion. When smoke collects in a clogged chimney or a house fire, the particles remain in the air. These particles eventually collide with a surface, creating a black stain that contains chemicals and toxins.

Carbon creates a variety of chemicals, including tar, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. Without a carbon monoxide monitor, carbon monoxide becomes trapped after a chimney or house fire and goes unnoticed.

Although the smell of smoke does not necessarily mean you are at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, you should always check with a detector for your own safety. Touching or breathing leftover smoke odours might expose you to carbon monoxide, which can cause dangerous symptoms such as:

• Confusion
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Stomach pains
• Shortness of breath
• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures
