Trauma & crime scene cleaning
Specialist cleaning following traumatic incidents and crime scenes, once the police have formally released the property.
Attendance within 2 hours of release, 24 hours a day
We attend after the investigating authority has finished. We do not touch anything of evidential value. That work belongs to the police and the other authorities involved.
What we take on is everything that comes next: blood, tissue, contaminated furnishings and the fabric of the building itself. Our job is to return the property to a verified safe condition so that a family can come home, a tenancy can be re-let, or a business can reopen.
What the work involves
- Scene assessment and photographic record before any work begins
- Containment of the affected zone, with negative air pressure where required
- Removal and licensed disposal of contaminated soft furnishings, floor coverings and absorbent materials
- Treatment of porous substrates, including sub-floor, joists and plaster where contamination has tracked
- Two-stage clean: hospital-grade decontamination followed by a verification check
- Odour neutralisation by thermal fogging or hydroxyl treatment as the situation requires
- Certificate of Decontamination issued on completion
