- Small job (single room / limited area): $5,000 – $10,000

These are indicative ranges only. Every property is different, and your actual cost will depend on the specific factors outlined below. Our Newcastle team provides a detailed, written quote after the initial assessment — before any chargeable work begins.
Factors That Affect Your Cost
Several key factors influence the final cost of fire damage restoration in Newcastle. Understanding these helps you assess quotes and set realistic expectations:
- Extent of fire, smoke, and soot damage
- Structural integrity and demolition requirements
- Smoke odour penetration into materials
- Contents restoration vs replacement
- Hazardous materials (asbestos) requiring specialist removal
Speed of response is often the single biggest factor in total cost. Properties where restoration begins within the first 24 hours typically see 40–60% lower total costs compared to delayed responses, as secondary damage (mould, structural degradation) is prevented.
