Our Approach

Our Approach

Cell decontamination is about turnaround speed and verifiable cleanliness. We arrive in PPE, remove biological waste using compliant containers, then disinfect every surface with hospital-grade chemicals. Hard surfaces get a wipe-down treatment; ozone or thermal fogging is used afterwards if odours need neutralising. We document the work with timestamped photos so the scene is signed off cleanly for re-use.

The Process

  3. STEP 03 Containment, removal, and disinfection of affected surfaces
  4. STEP 04 Optional ozone / thermal fogging follow-up for odour neutralisation
  5. STEP 05 Photo-documented sign-off for your records
Common Questions

Common Questions About Cell & Custody Decontamination

Do you have security clearance to work in custody facilities?
We don't hold formal police vetting — we work under the supervision arrangements of the contracting facility. If your facility requires DBS or other clearances we can discuss what we have on file.
How quickly can you turn a cell around?
A standard cell decon is typically 60-90 minutes on site. Severe biological contamination may extend this. Travel time to Tameside zones is 30-60 min.
Can you provide written sign-off?
Yes — we provide timestamped photo documentation as part of every job. For larger contracts we can supply written method statements and risk assessments.
