Fire and Flood restoration Isle of Man

Fire and flood incidents can cause severe structural damage, destroy belongings, and create hazardous living conditions. Fires often leave behind toxic smoke residue, while floods can lead to mould growth, electrical hazards, and exposure to contaminated water. Quick, professional remediation is essential to restore safety and prevent long-term property damage.

In most cases, yes. Using advanced deodorisation methods and specialist cleaning equipment, we can remove smoke odours, soot staining, water damage, and mould spores. However, severely damaged materials, such as insulation or drywall, may need to be replaced to eliminate odour and contamination entirely.

The timeline varies based on the extent of the damage, property size, and the type of materials affected. Minor smoke or water damage might take a few days to restore, while larger-scale restoration projects can take one to three weeks. We provide a comprehensive assessment and a detailed timeline estimate before commencing work.

Queen of Clean uses industry-leading restoration tools, including:

• High-powered water extraction machines
  
  
• Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers
  
  
• HEPA filtration units for airborne contaminants
  
  
• Thermal foggers and ozone generators for odour control
  
  
• Moisture meters and infrared cameras for detecting hidden damage
  
  

All equipment is chosen to ensure efficient drying, sanitisation, and odour removal.

The cost depends on the scope of the damage, but home insurance policies often cover fire and flood restoration. Investing in a certified remediation service like Queen of Clean ensures a faster, safer recovery and can prevent more costly damage down the line. We provide transparent quotes and help manage the process from start to finish.

This depends on the severity of the damage. For light smoke or water damage, it may be safe to stay in the home with some precautions. However, suppose there’s extensive mould growth, unsafe air quality, or structural risks. In that case, we may recommend temporary relocation for your health and safety. We’ll always discuss your options during the initial assessment.

Before our team arrives, avoid entering severely affected areas, especially those with standing water or soot deposits. Shut off the electricity if water damage is present and remove valuables if safe to do so. Do not attempt DIY cleaning—it can worsen damage or cause health issues. Leave the remediation to qualified professionals.
