Odour Elimination & Ozone Treatment in Manchester

Advanced ozone and thermal fogging to permanently remove biological and chemical odours.

Service Overview

Service Overview

Our odour elimination service attacks the source using industrial ozone generators and thermal fogging, permanently neutralising odours caused by decomposition or smoke.

Smoke odour removal

Smoke odour from cigarette, fire, and BBQ incidents soaks into porous surfaces — fabric, carpet, plasterboard, wood, headlinings in vehicles. Surface cleaning won't reach it. We use ozone generators and thermal fogging in the sealed space to break down the odour molecules at source rather than mask them.

Cigarette smoke removal

Heavy-smoker tenancies and post-fire cigarette smoke saturation are addressed under this umbrella using the same sealed-space ozone treatment. Useful before re-letting smoker properties.

Pet odour removal

Pet urine soaked into carpet underlay, soft furnishings, or wooden flooring is one of the most common odour-elimination jobs we do. Hospital-grade enzyme treatments break down the biological component; ozone treatment in the sealed space neutralises residual odour at source rather than masking.

Death smell removal

Decomposition odour — for active decomposition cleanup see the dedicated unattended-death-cleanup or decomposition-cleanup pages. Where the cleanup is complete and only residual odour remains, we use the same ozone + thermal-fogging treatment handled here.

When to Call

When to Call Us About Odour Elimination & Ozone Treatment

  • When a property has a persistent odour that ordinary cleaning won't shift
  • After smoke damage, decomposition, or biological contamination has left a lingering smell
  • Before re-letting a tenancy where the previous occupant has left strong odours behind
  • When pets, mould, or damp have left an environment that needs neutralising
  • After a fire incident where smoke odour persists after structural cleanup
  • Before re-letting a property where heavy-smoker tenancy has left lingering odour
  • When a vehicle interior needs smoke odour removed before sale or handover
Our Approach

Our Approach

Odour elimination works only when you treat the source, not just mask it. We start by identifying what's producing the smell — often a saturated material, hidden contamination, or biological residue — and remove or clean it first. Then we use ozone generators and thermal fogging in the sealed space, which break down odour molecules at the chemical level rather than covering them. Treatment cycles are typically 4-12 hours depending on severity, and the space must be vacated during ozone exposure.

The Process

What to Expect

  1. STEP 01 Phone consultation — we'll ask about the smell, history, and any previous attempts
  2. STEP 02 Site visit to identify the source and assess what's needed
  3. STEP 03 Source removal or cleaning where the smell traces to a specific material
  4. STEP 04 Ozone treatment cycle in the sealed space (4-12 hours; you can't be in the property)
  5. STEP 05 Re-entry, ventilation, and a follow-up check to confirm the smell is gone
Common Questions

Common Questions About Odour Elimination & Ozone Treatment

Is ozone treatment safe?
Ozone is safe for the property but you must vacate during the treatment cycle and ventilate before re-entry. We provide clear guidance on timings and re-entry. Pets and houseplants must also be removed during the cycle.
Will the smell come back?
Not if the source has been removed. Ozone breaks down odour molecules permanently. If a smell returns it's almost always because there's a residual source we missed — we'll come back and assess.
How much does it cost?
Job-based, depending on property size and severity. Minimum callout is £250. Site visits and quotes are free.
Do you handle pet odour specifically (urine, dog, cat)?
Yes. Pet odour — particularly urine soaked into carpet underlay, soft furnishings, or wooden flooring — is one of the most common odour-elimination jobs we do. Hospital-grade enzyme treatments break down the biological component; ozone treatment in the sealed space neutralises residual odour at source rather than masking. Useful before re-letting smoker / pet-owner properties.
Do you handle smoke odour (cigarette, fire, BBQ)?
Yes — covered under this umbrella. Smoke odour soaks into porous surfaces — surface cleaning won't reach it. We seal the space, run ozone generators to oxidise the odour molecules, and add thermal fogging for severe cases (post-fire, heavy-smoker tenancies). 4-12 hour cycles; clear re-entry timings provided.
Can you treat a vehicle?
Yes — vehicles are common (post-fire recovery, smoker resale, taxi conversion). We work mobile, sealing the cabin and running the ozone treatment from a power outlet. Typical 4-8 hour cycle.
