Our Fire Damage Restoration Process

1

Emergency Board-Up & Securing

Our team arrives within 60 minutes to secure the property with emergency board-up, tarping, and fencing. We prevent further damage from weather exposure, vandalism, and unauthorised access whilst preserving evidence for insurance.

2

Structural Assessment

Qualified structural engineers assess load-bearing walls, roof trusses, floors, and foundations. A detailed damage report is produced identifying what can be salvaged, what requires remediation, and what must be rebuilt.

3

Fire Damage Remediation

IICRC FSRT-certified technicians remove charred materials, clean soot and smoke residue from all surfaces, decontaminate HVAC systems, and neutralise odours using industrial ozone and hydroxyl technology.

4

Rebuild & Restoration

Full reconstruction services restore your property to pre-loss condition or better. We coordinate all trades including carpentry, electrical, plumbing, plastering, and painting under a single project manager.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can fire damage cleanup begin?

Cleanup can begin as soon as the fire brigade has cleared the property and deemed it safe to enter. Our emergency team can arrive within 60 minutes of clearance to begin board-up and securing. Full remediation typically commences within 24-48 hours once the structural assessment is complete.

What should I do immediately after a fire?

First, ensure everyone is safe and accounted for. Do not re-enter the property until the fire brigade gives clearance. Contact your insurance company to lodge a claim, then contact us for emergency board-up and securing. Avoid touching or cleaning any surfaces as incorrect methods can cause permanent damage.

Does insurance cover fire damage restoration?

Most home and business insurance policies cover fire damage restoration including emergency board-up, structural repairs, smoke and soot removal, content cleaning, and temporary accommodation. We work directly with all major Australian insurers including Allianz, NRMA, Suncorp, and QBE.

How long does fire damage restoration take?

Timeline varies depending on severity. Minor fire damage may take 1-2 weeks for remediation. Moderate damage typically requires 4-8 weeks. Major structural damage with full rebuild can take 3-6 months. We provide detailed timelines during the initial assessment and keep you updated throughout.

Can fire-damaged belongings be saved?

Many items can be professionally restored including furniture, clothing, electronics, documents, and photographs. Our content restoration team uses ultrasonic cleaning, ozone treatment, and specialist techniques. Items are assessed individually and you are consulted before any disposal decisions.
