What the laser takes off.
After a fire, a lot of structural timber is sound under the soot. Laser cleaning removes surface char and smoke film so you can see what can stay.
- Surface char on beams and joists
- Smoke film and soot
- Odour-holding residue on the surface layer
- Discoloured finishes
Why not sand or strip?
Blasting forces ash into the grain and wet methods leave moisture behind. Laser cleaning removes the layer without adding water or abrasive media to the building.

Common questions.
Can badly charred beams be saved?
Often, if the char is shallow. A structural engineer should confirm any load-bearing timber. We clean it so the real condition is visible.
Do you work with insurers?
We provide a written scope and photos that you can pass to your adjuster.
