Modern building methods used in the construction of the McDonald's fast food outlet in Uckfield allowed the flood damaged building to be replaced and trading within two weeks.
Loss adjusters from the Brighton branch of Crawfords viewed the scene of devastation and decided to replace the entire building because the damage was so severe and the risk of contamination too high.
Crawfords' Ian Peters said: "It was proposed that the units, which comprised the building, should be dismantled, removed and new units introduced.
"The priority was to get McDonald's trading as soon as possible so the work was carried out quickly. A new building was installed and the fast food outlet was trading within 13 days of the flood."
