SODA BLASTING

< Back

Precision Restoration After Fire or Smoke Damage


Following a fire, many properties are left with thick soot and carbon staining that penetrates brickwork, timber, and stone. Manual scrubbing and chemical solutions aren’t always effective—and can cause further damage to heritage or delicate materials. That’s where soda blasting comes in.


For landlords, insurers, and loss adjusters, soda blasting solves a number of challenges:


  • Deep-set smoke and soot contamination on structural materials

  • Strong fire-related odours embedded in walls, ceilings, and floors

  • The need to clean fire-damaged surfaces without causing further harm

  • Pressure to restore buildings quickly and cost-effectively

  • Compliance with restoration standards and environmental responsibility


At Eighty Eight, our IICRC-certified team uses soda blasting to:


  • Remove soot, carbon, and charring from brick, block, stone, wood, metal, and more

  • Prepare fire-damaged surfaces for sealing, painting, or reinstatement

  • Neutralise odours naturally through the alkaline properties of baking soda

  • Minimise dust and environmental impact with low-pressure systems

  • Preserve the integrity of surfaces—ideal for listed or heritage buildings

  • Deliver fast, insurance-compliant results with full photographic documentation


Ideal For Use In:


  • Fire-damaged residential and commercial buildings

  • Heritage properties or older housing stock

  • Internal and external brickwork, beams, and timbers

  • Garage fires, boiler rooms, and plant areas

  • Insurance restoration and loss-adjuster approved projects
