In recent years, fires caused by lithium-ion batteries have increased dramatically. In London alone, incidents involving these batteries jumped from 183 fires in 2023 to 467 fires in 2024, a trend fuelled largely by e-scooters and e-bikes. Tragically, in 2023, 11 lives were lost to these fast-spreading, highly dangerous fires.
Whether you’re dealing with a home, business, or waste facility fire, Polygon’s expert teams deliver a fast, safe, and complete restoration process. Don’t leave recovery to chance; let our trained specialists restore your property and peace of mind.
Extreme Heat
Fires can reach temperatures over 1000°C, causing extensive structural damage.
Rapid Spread
Once ignited, flames propagate quickly, making immediate containment critical.
Toxic Fumes
Burning lithium batteries releases hazardous chemicals, posing severe health risks to occupants, firefighters, and restoration teams.
Hard to Extinguish
Traditional firefighting techniques often fail; these fires require specialised methods to control and eliminate safely.
Risk of Reignition
Even after a fire is extinguished, lithium battery fires can reignite days later, creating ongoing danger.
We understand the unique challenges that lithium battery fires create, and we have the specialist staff and proven techniques ready to act fast:
Vacuuming with Class H vacuums and safety filters to remove hazardous dust.
Surface wiping using fresh cloths, soapy water, and clean water.
Chemical Treatment with alkaline soaps (Polygon FW 102, FW102, Blue Soap) to neutralise contaminants.
Staff equipped with protective gear, including specialised hydrofluoric acid-resistant boots (Dunlop Acifort Ribbed Safety Boots).
Rigorous testing and verification to ensure your space is completely safe for re-entry.
Recent studies show that the average fire claim involving lithium batteries is around £50,000, with some incidents reaching much higher figures. Quick and thorough restoration is not only essential for safety but also crucial for reducing long-term costs.
Overcharging devices with incompatible chargers
Physical damage from drops or punctures
Counterfeit products lacking proper safety features
Improper disposal at waste facilities (accounting for nearly £158M in damages annually)
