Fire damage remediation
Fire damage in commercial and residential properties leaves heavy soot and char deposits that can corrode building materials and trap toxic odours. Traditional cleanup methods are often invasive and slow, causing secondary water or chemical damage.
Cleaning underway to house.

Featured Case Evidence
Fire and Soot Remediation, Brickwork
Preserving integrity, restoring clarity.
Our laser remediation process vaporizes carbon, soot, and smoke residues from brick, timber, steel, and concrete structural elements. This dry, non-contact method targets only the soot, saving building substrates and significantly reducing property restoration timelines.
Why laser for fire damage remediation?
Zero secondary moisture damage
A dry, contact-free process. Protects structural elements from the water damage, swelling, or corrosion caused by steam or liquid cleaning.
Reveals structural integrity
Cleans soot down to the bare substrate, allowing structural engineers to accurately assess concrete or steel health after a fire.
Speeds up reinstatement
Significantly faster surface prep than manual scraping or blasting, allowing painters and plasterers to begin reinstatement works sooner.
A rigorous, documented approach.
Immediate Survey
Assessing the soot depth, substrate heat exposure, and structural accessibility.
Calibrated Trials
Running test spots to separate carbon and soot from the underlying timber, steel, or brick.
Soot Extraction
Removing the soot using laser ablation coupled with HEPA air filtration to capture fine particulates.
Photo Documentation
We provide before and after photographs depicting the work undertaken.

Frequently asked questions
- Can laser cleaning remove soot from timber joists?
- Yes. Laser cleaning is highly effective at removing charred wood and soot from structural timbers. Because it is dry, it prevents wood swelling and moisture absorption, while neutralizing smoke odours at a molecular level.
- How does laser cleaning compare to dry ice blasting for soot?
- While dry ice blasting is also dry, it produces significant noise and high volume of waste particulates that must be swept up. Laser cleaning is quieter, has zero blast media impact, and uses close-capture vacuuming, making it cleaner and less disruptive on busy restoration sites.
- Can you provide documentation for our insurance claim?
- Yes. We provide complete pre-treatment and post-treatment photographic logs, parameter records, and safety compliance certificates to assist insurers, loss adjusters, and building owners in settling claims quickly.
