Fire and smoke damage can be devastating to both residential and commercial properties.

Contact us to learn how we can help you recover your property quickly and to the highest standard.
What is Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Here are the key elements of fire and smoke damage that we address.
Structural DamageFire can weaken or melt structural components, such as beams, walls, floors, and roofing. Our detailed assessments identify the compromised elements, allowing us to repair or rebuild to restore the building’s safety and stability.
Smoke Residue & OdourSmoke penetrates surfaces and leaves behind residues. Our specialised cleaning techniques, such as thermal fogging and ozone treatments, eliminate odours and residues, ensuring a fresh, odour-free environment.
Heat DamageHigh temperatures can cause building materials to warp or partially melt. We replace or repair materials affected by heat, such as drywall, insulation, and decorative finishes, restoring the aesthetic and structural quality of the property.
Water Damage from Firefighting EffortsFirefighters often use large quantities of water to extinguish fires, which can cause additional damage, such as flooding, mould growth, and decay. We remove water, dry affected areas, and treat surfaces to prevent mould and mildew.
Electrical System DamageFire can severely damage electrical wiring, outlets, and systems, creating potential hazards. Our team includes specialists who can safely decommission, repair, or replace electrical components to restore full functionality.
Damage to Contents & FinishesFurniture, fixtures, carpets, and finishes are often severely damaged during a fire. We collaborate with content restoration services to salvage and clean belongings where possible, replacing irreparably damaged items.
Harmful Residues & Toxic SubstancesFire releases chemicals and toxins that can settle on surfaces and interiors. We employ advanced cleaning protocols using vapour and chemical treatments to safely remove these residues, ensuring the environment is safe for occupancy.
Structural Reinforcement & CompliancePost-fire assessments often reveal the need for structural reinforcement to meet safety standards. Our team ensures that all repairs comply with relevant building codes and safety regulations, giving our clients complete peace of mind.
Specialist recovery from Fire & Smoke Damage
As specialist reinstatement builders, we combine in-depth expertise, rapid response and exceptional workmanship to handle even the most challenging fire and smoke recovery projects. We take the time to accurately assess every detail of the damage, coordinate trusted trades and manage the entire restoration process from start to finish. Our goal is to minimise disruption and provide peace of mind for clients during what can be an incredibly stressful time.
Fire and smoke damage can affect every aspect of a property, from structural integrity to electrical systems and indoor air quality. These complex issues demand specialised skills and a proven approach to ensure the property is made safe, fully restored and ready to live in again. With our knowledge, experience and commitment to excellence, Scott Commercial Limited is the trusted choice for restoring properties to optimal condition after fire and smoke events.

How do building insurance repair claims work?
This process starts when you contact your insurer to report the incident. They arrange for us to assess the damage, sometimes alongside other builders, to obtain quotes. Within 24 hours of confirming the work required, we schedule a visit from our estimator, who inspects the property, prepares a repair plan, outlines the scope of work, and provides a cost estimate. This is sent to your insurer within 48 hours for review, and you can choose your preferred builder.
Once approved, we confirm a start date, send details of the work and safety measures, and our project manager coordinates the trades. We provide weekly updates, address any concerns, and on completion, walk you through the repairs before updating your insurer.
