Our Approach

Crime scene cleanup happens after the police have completed their work and released the property. We arrive in full PPE, assess the scope, and handle the biohazard decontamination — blood, bodily fluids, biological residue, and any fingerprint dust or chemical markers left by forensics. Soft furnishings that can't be salvaged are bagged for compliant disposal; hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected with hospital-grade chemicals. Where odours are present, ozone treatment and thermal fogging neutralise them at source. We work discreetly — unbranded van available — to protect privacy for the family, neighbours, and any onward occupants.

Common Questions

Common Questions About Crime Scene Cleaning

What's the difference between trauma scene and crime scene cleaning?

Crime scene refers to the police context — the property has been a scene of investigation. Trauma is broader (any traumatic incident). The cleaning work itself is similar; the distinction matters for insurance documentation and timing.

Do you work alongside the police?

We start work after the police release the scene. We don't work alongside an active investigation — that would compromise it. Once police have finished and given you the go-ahead, we can attend within 30-60 minutes for Tameside zones.

Will you handle this with discretion?

Yes. We can operate an unbranded van and don't identify ourselves to neighbours. We work within the family's or property owner's instructions on who knows what.

Is it covered by insurance?

Many home insurance policies cover crime-scene cleanup. Documentation we provide has been used successfully for claims. We don't direct-bill insurers but provide quotes and invoices in formats they recognise.
