At Cleaning 24x7, we provide tailored restoration and decontamination services for properties and throughout the UK that have been affected by smoke exposure.
Smoke damage often spreads far beyond the immediate source of a fire, leaving behind odorous particles, acidic soot films, and airborne contaminants that compromise both health and building materials.
Our trained restoration teams use advanced smoke removal equipment and approved cleaning processes to stabilise, decontaminate, and refresh affected environments.
We assist homeowners, landlords, commercial operators, and insurers with efficient, compliant, and detailed smoke damage cleaning to return properties to a safe and habitable condition.
The cost of smoke damage cleaning restoration ranges from £500 to more than £10,000, depending on the size of the property, residue severity, and how extensive the remedial work needs to be.
Costs are influenced by factors such as odour intensity, required deep cleaning, surface restoration, debris removal, and whether HVAC or ventilation systems need specialist treatment.

Homes and businesses affected by smoke damage may contain several forms of residue, including:
Dry soot – Fine, powder-like particles from high-temperature burns.
Wet soot – Sticky, oily deposits that cling to surfaces after slow-burning fires.
Protein film – Odour-heavy, invisible residue commonly produced during kitchen incidents.
Smoke haze – Airborne particles that settle into furniture, fabrics, and porous surfaces.
Corrosive deposits – Residues originating from burnt plastics, wiring, and synthetic materials.
Char and ash fragments – Solid remnants from damaged fixtures and furnishings.
The duration of smoke cleaning restoration of smaller areas may be restored within one to two days, while larger or heavily affected spaces may require several weeks of cleaning, drying, and deodorisation.
Comprehensive restoration can take anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks, depending on insurance approvals and the availability of repair materials.
Smoke damage cleaning begins with a full assessment of affected rooms, surfaces, and ventilation pathways to understand how far smoke and residue have travelled. Treatment includes soot removal, surface cleansing, deodorisation, particulate extraction, and deep cleaning of structural elements and furnishings.
Technicians also evaluate ceilings, walls, floors, and air systems to prevent cross-contamination and ensure all hazards are fully neutralised.
Smoke damage cleaning teams offer rapid response services, often operating 24/7 to address urgent contamination.
Immediate treatment helps limit acidic soot damage, prevents further odour absorption, and protects sensitive materials from long-term deterioration. Many providers aim to arrive within hours to begin air filtration, soot containment, and preliminary stabilisation.
A number of smoke damage cleaning restoration teams use eco-conscious cleaning products that are non-toxic, low-residue, and safe for homes, workplaces, and sensitive environments.
These solutions remove soot, films, and odours without leaving harmful chemical traces, with some services offering optional green-certified restoration packages.
Many smoke damage cleaning providers support clients with the insurance process by creating itemised inventories, capturing photographic documentation, and supplying detailed restoration reports.
Some companies coordinate directly with insurers or loss adjusters to simplify communication and accelerate claim approval.
Building assessments are commonly included during smoke damage cleaning to confirm the safety of walls, roofs, beams, and other structural features.
Smoke and heat can compromise materials over time, prompting collaboration with structural engineers when reinforcement or repairs are required before deeper restoration continues.
For smoke damage cleaning, specialists apply thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl purification to eliminate trapped smoke odours from walls, fabrics, and air spaces.
Soot is removed through chemical sponging, targeted detergents, or micro-abrasion depending on the surface, restoring indoor air quality and usability.
