Fire Damage Repair & Restoration
Expert Fire Damage Cleaning Services
Mr Leak helps your property recover from fire and water, clearing soot, removing debris, and addressing damage post-firefighting.
Professional Fire Damage Repair Solutions
After a fire, things get either burned or drenched. Fire hoses can make things worse because the high-pressure water can cause more damage to buildings and their already burnt contents. The smouldering ruins can also cause illness and further structural damage if fire damage repair crews don’t clean up and fix things quickly.
At Mr Leak, we offer customer-focused, professional, prompt, and comprehensive fire damage restoration service to recover as many of your belongings as possible and make your property safe again for its occupants. We offer the following solutions to fire damage issues:
Thorough cleanup of hazardous residues: Our fire damage cleaning experts meticulously remove leftover soot, ash, carbon, and smoke to keep your property and its inhabitants safe from structural collapse and health problems. To make sure we get the job done, we use advanced techniques such as steam and dry cleaning, air-scrubbing, and pressure washing.
Restoration and management of affected items: It can be tricky to restore things like furnishings, important documents, and electronics. But when feasible, our fire damage repair team uses cutting edge ultrasonic cleaning technology and reconditioning methods to fix what can be fixed. For those damaged beyond fixing, we store and keep them securely so you may decide what to do with them.
Odour removal: The smell of smoke can linger in things like walls, fabrics, and other surfaces. We neutralise this odour through thermal fogging and other cutting-edge methods.
Rapid response when you need it most: Fires don’t wait for a convenient time—and neither do we. Our team is always prepared to respond quickly when disaster strikes. If you’re based in Manchester, we’ll aim to reach your property without delay and get to work straight away to contain the damage, minimise disruption, and support you through any insurance process. With Mr Leak, you get a calm, capable team who know exactly what to do when every minute counts.

Before Help Arrives: Fire Damage “First Aid”
After firefighters have finished doing their job, there are things you could do to reduce damage to your property and minimise future expenses until fire damage restoration experts arrive. Follow these steps in their proper sequence to ensure your safety:
Confirm the safety of your property: Check with emergency services if you can enter the affected building and ask for specifics such as safe rooms to enter, how long can you stay, etc.
Get ready to file your insurance claim: Whether you decide to write the claim yourself or get our help, getting proof of the damage is key. After emergency services say it’s safe to go back to your place, record all the damage you can see by snapping some good photos or taking videos.
Protect your property: Cover up any broken windows and doors to keep people out and stop weather from causing damage. Keep the power and gas off until an expert says it’s okay to turn them back on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is fire damage fixable?
Trained experts can typically repair damage caused by fire. Although some objects or items might need replacing, most surfaces damaged by water, soot, or smoke may be restored to how they were before the fire. High-quality cleaners, odour removers, and air cleaners help our crew to get rid of soot and smoke damage. We also do repairs to ensure your property’s structure is safe for occupants.
How long does it take to repair a house after a fire?
Small fires that cover a single room might take a few days to a couple of weeks to fix. Bigger fires that cause major damage or soak items in fire-hose water could take weeks or even months to get everything back to normal.
Other factors that affect speed of repair include how long insurers approve your claim, how soon inspectors evaluate your building, and how much smoke there is. After our team gets a good idea about the extent of damage in your property, they’ll let you know how long it should take.
Is it safe to stay in a house after a fire?
No, don’t stay in a house too long after a fire until emergency services give you the go signal. It is hard to see hazards like weakened structures, toxic smoke, and unstable electrical systems. Find somewhere to stay in until the cleanup crew and firefighters say it’s okay to go back. Staying safe is what matters the most.
What does insurance cover after a fire?
Though insurance policies vary, most home insurance policies in the UK cover:
- Structural damage (via buildings insurance)
- Personal belongings (via contents insurance)
- Smoke and soot removal
- Debris and waste clearance
- Alternative accommodation costs if your home is uninhabitable
How can fire damage affect my health?
Debris that stays long after the fire is over can be quite dangerous for your health. Microscopic particles and hazardous substances found in soot and smoke can cause:
- Respiratory disorders like asthma
- Skin and eye irritation
- Headaches
- Nausea
Will you be able to restore the property back to its original condition?
We want to get your place back to how it was before the fire. We take care of everything from getting rid of smoke and smells to performing deep cleaning. Our technicians can also help effectively dry out your belongings and rebuild damaged structural components.
While some items may be beyond repair, we’ll save what we can and help you out with replacing anything you need. Our team wants to give you a home that’s safe, clean, comfy, and stress-free.
