Vehicle restoration after damage

Vehicles exposed to fire, flood, smoke or industrial pollutants often suffer from damage that goes beyond the surface: waterlogged interiors, odours, contaminated upholstery, corrosion, electrical faults. Without specialist restoration, such damage reduces safety, performance, value, and comfort.

Our vehicle restoration service uses thorough disassembly, cleaning, decontamination and rebuild techniques to bring your vehicle back to trusted condition.

We work with all kinds of vehicles, cars, commercial vans, transport vehicles, motorhomes, boats, or even specialty/emergency vehicles. Whether the damage is from water ingress, smoke or fire, or from industrial contaminants, we have the expertise, facility space, and technical capability to handle jobs of any scale.

Why choose us

  • Certified expertise – Trained technicians experienced in full vehicle decontamination and rebuild.
  • Comprehensive process – From inspection through odour removal to reassembly, all done with care.
  • Rapid turnaround – We aim to restore quickly to preserve value and minimise downtime.
  • Health & safety first – Safe, compliant handling of mould, smoke, water and contaminants.
  • Preserving value – Restored vehicle’s value maximized versus writing off.
  • Scalable solutions – From single small car to large commercial or specialty fleets.

Use cases

  • Flood-damaged vehicles – Cars or commercial vehicles submerged or water-logged.
  • Smoke/fire-impacted vehicles – After fire or smoke exposure, restoring odour, soot, and damage.
  • Industrial contamination – Vehicles exposed to corrosive or chemical pollutants.
  • Value preservation – Vehicles with high value (classic, emergency, company fleet) where owners want to restore instead of replace.
  • Interior damage – Upholstery, trim, fabrics, carpets damaged by moisture or odour.
  • Comprehensive vehicle restoration – All types of vehicles, including trains, cars, trucks, buses, agricultural and construction machinery.

The process

1

Inspection and triage

We assess extent of damage (water, smoke, contamination), document affected parts, and define the level of restoration required.

2

Disassembly and interior removal

Carpets, upholstery, trims and all interior removable parts are removed to allow thorough drying, cleaning and treatment.

3

Cleaning, decontamination and odour removal

Surfaces, electrical systems, insulation and fabrics are cleaned, disinfected, treated for odours or smoke residue, and restored.

4

Drying and corrosion protection

Controlled environments (heated, dehumidified) used to prevent mould or rust; protective coatings applied where needed.

5

Reassembly and quality check

Vehicle is reassembled, functionality tested (electrical, safety components), finish restored, and final inspections verify safety, smell neutralization, and cosmetic appearance.
