Fire damage cleaning in a pool plant room – structural timber restoration

Following a fire in the plant room of a swimming pool facility, I was called in to carry out a detailed and thorough cleaning of the affected area. Fire and smoke damage had impacted not just the surfaces but also the structure of the room.

As part of the restoration:

• All roofing battens had to be dismantled to access the deeper structural elements;
• The exposed rafters were professionally cleaned to remove soot, residue;
• Special attention was given to ensuring no further damage was caused during the cleaning process, and that all surfaces were prepared for any necessary repairs or reconstruction.

This type of job required careful planning, the right equipment, and a deep understanding of how fire affects different materials.
