Smoke damage occured when an industrial deep-fat fryer started a fire in the kitchen of a cafe. The severe smoke damage was spread throughout the premises.
The obvious concern was loss of business due to the smoke damage. Richfords task was to quickly and cost effectively get the business running again following the smoke damage.
Health & Safety
As this is a food preparation area it was vitally important that ALL equipment could be cleaned following the smoke damage to an appropriate high standard.
Corrosion
Metals can suffer secondary damage through corrosion from the fire residues. The large and expensive electrical equipment was at risk from secondary damage following the smoke damage.
Some of the cooking equipment was gas fired. These required testing by qualified engineers.
Business resumed within a week of the smoke damage.
