Our Approach

Our Approach

Gross filth and squalor cleaning is heavy-duty work — bagging waste, removing soiled materials, scraping back surfaces to a cleanable substrate, and disinfecting at every stage. We arrive in PPE and set up containment so the rest of the property isn't cross-contaminated. Soft furnishings that can't be salvaged are removed for compliant disposal. Hard surfaces are cleaned, then disinfected with hospital-grade chemicals; ozone or thermal fogging is used afterwards if residual odour needs neutralising.

The Process

What to Expect

  1. STEP 01 Phone or email enquiry — we'll ask about the property, occupancy history, and access
  2. STEP 02 Site visit to assess scope, identify hazards, and confirm access arrangements
  3. STEP 03 Written quote covering clearance, surface clean, disinfection, and odour treatment
  4. STEP 04 On-site work — typical 1-3 days depending on property size and severity
  5. STEP 05 Sign-off with photos; the property returned to a re-lettable / habitable state
Common Questions

Common Questions About Gross Filth & Squalor Cleaning

What's the difference between this and end-of-tenancy cleaning?
End-of-tenancy is detail cleaning of an already-cleanable property. Squalor cleaning starts with bulk waste removal, sharps recovery, and decontamination before the cleanable surfaces are even visible.
Can the property be made re-lettable?
Almost always, yes. Sometimes flooring or specific soft surfaces need replacing — we'll flag that at quote stage. The deep clean, disinfection, and odour treatment we provide returns the underlying structure to a habitable standard.
Do you handle the waste removal too?
Yes — clearance, bagging, and transfer to licensed disposal partners are included. Transfer notes provided. Our waste carrier licence application is in progress; until issued, we use licensed partners.
