Fire Damage Restoration & Cleaning Services

Fire Restoration Services

At Cornerstone, we understand that no two incidents of fire, smoke and heat damage are the same. The overall damage sustained is always different.

Our experts recognise that the professional manner and approach of the damage management practitioner must be the same.

The primary restoration process is to return the damaged property to its pre-existing condition. Some of the jobs we do are carpet cleaning, odour removal and work to prevent further damage to the property. This is without compromising the environment and health and safety. We also minimise resultant secondary damage and ensure we work within a pre-specified timescale and costs. In order to restore the property to its pre-incident condition, quickly, reliably and cost-effectively. Professional fire restoration is essential.

Fire damage results in a wide range of severity – from minor smoke damage to the complete and total destruction of a building and its contents.

A technically-competent person should undertake a series of different inspections to build up a true representation of the loss.

Fire Damage Safety Guide

Safety First. Have the electrics been affected? As in water affected properties, the electrical system can become potentially unsafe. Have the system checked at the earliest opportunity by a Qualified Electrician. Appropriate action should be undertaken to make the system safe. Failure to do so can cause secondary fires and electrical shock.

Safety First It is important to understand that as a result of a fire, many chemicals are released into the atmosphere. These can be very harmful. It is important to understand that the cocktail of molecules you can smell is being absorbed into your lungs. The very nature of fire damage is such that it requires specialist early attention to minimise the damage impact. Soot is likely to have travelled throughout the property and found its way into structural voids. There will also be a risk of secondary damage that will need to be investigated.

We recommend the area is vacated immediately in advance of restoration activities. Our services uphold all relevant Health & Safety standards and legislation. We provide a safe environment for property owners to work in or visit and discuss the progress of works.

Odour Elimination The key objective for a fire restoration contractor in a fire or smoke damaged property is to successfully eliminate any lingering odours from the structure, to restore the property to its pre-incident condition, in addition to removing the contamination. Smoke will travel into voids and penetrate absorbent materials in the property and remain in the building until confidently dealt with. Smoke odour elimination is an ongoing process undertaken throughout the property. In many cases, specialist treatments are required to achieve a successful outcome.
