What affects the cost of fire & smoke restoration in Queensland?

The main variables are area, materials and contamination and specialist cleaning, disposal and rebuild work. Photos and measurements can help with an initial response, but some jobs need an on-site assessment before a firm quote is possible.

Does fire & smoke restoration require a Queensland licence?

No service-specific Queensland trade licence generally applies, but the provider still needs to follow work health, environmental and local rules relevant to the site and method.

How do I compare fire & smoke restoration providers?

Compare the same written scope, provider credentials, insurance, product or workmanship warranties, start timing, exclusions and total price. Do not compare headline totals until the inclusions match.

What should I prepare before requesting quotes?

Prepare safe-to-take photos, relevant measurements, the property location, preferred timing and notes about affected areas and make-safe status and assessment, containment and cleaning. Never enter an unsafe area just to gather quote information.
