Overview
Post-fire strip-out, structural repair and complete internal reinstatement. Foxter delivers fire damage restoration across every London borough for private clients, landlords, managing agents and commercial occupiers, with one site manager accountable for the whole programme.
Every fire damage restoration project starts with a survey and a written scope, so the price you receive reflects the property you actually own rather than a per-metre average. Where a genuine unknown exists — ground conditions, hidden structure, the state of a substrate behind a finish — we say so and carry a stated allowance rather than a low figure that will move later.
Our indicative benchmark for fire damage restoration is £900 per m² plus a £6,000 base cost for set-up, protection and welfare, before area factors and VAT. A fixed price follows a site visit.

How we deliver it

Protection, strip-out, substrate preparation and any enabling works.
Installation
The fire damage restoration carried out by our directly employed trades under one site manager.
Completion
Testing and certification where required, snagging, clean and handover.
What good fire damage restoration work looks like
The visible finish is the last five per cent of a fire damage restoration project. What determines whether it lasts is the preparation underneath: correct substrate, correct fixings, correct tolerances and the right material for the exposure and the loading it will see.
We specify to manufacturer detail and to current British Standards, and we do not shortcut preparation to hit a price. Where a competing quote is materially cheaper it is almost always because preparation, waste disposal, making good or certification has been left out — ask for the written scope and compare line by line.
London-specific considerations
London properties add constraints that inflate the real cost of fire damage restoration: restricted parking and permit zones, no side access, shared stairwells and lifts in flats, conservation area controls, freeholder and managing agent consents, and neighbours within a few metres of every operation.
We plan logistics before we start — skip permits, material drops, working hours, dust and noise control — and we include those costs openly in the quotation rather than adding them later as extras.
How we price and what changes it
Our estimating model prices fire damage restoration from the measured quantity, the specification level you choose, the property type and the London area, then adds any extras such as design, structural input, scaffolding or waste. Standard, premium and luxury specifications differ by roughly 25% and 55% respectively.
