When to Call Us About Carcass Removal & Odour Control

Our Approach

Our Approach

Carcass removal is detective work followed by extraction and odour treatment. We arrive in PPE and locate the source — usually narrowed down by smell, fly activity, or moisture trails. Where access is reasonable we extract the remains; where the carcass is deep in a wall cavity or under flooring, we may need to make an access cut (agreed at quote stage). The area is then cleaned, disinfected, and treated with ozone or thermal fogging to neutralise residual odour at source.

The Process

What to Expect

  1. STEP 01 Phone enquiry — describe what's been smelled or seen
  2. STEP 02 Site visit to locate the source (sometimes immediately obvious; sometimes diagnostic)
  3. STEP 03 Written quote covering removal, any access work, sanitisation, and odour treatment
  4. STEP 04 On-site work — typical 2-6 hours for accessible carcasses; longer for cavity work
  5. STEP 05 Re-entry guidance after odour treatment, plus a follow-up if needed
Common Questions

Common Questions About Carcass Removal & Odour Control

How will you find it if it's hidden?
Smell intensity, fly activity, moisture marks, and sometimes a thermal camera narrow it down. In cavity walls we may need to make an access opening — discussed at quote stage so you're not surprised.
Will the smell go after removal?
Removing the source resolves most of the smell within hours. Residual odour from porous surfaces is treated with ozone or thermal fogging — typically gone within 24-48 hours.
Is it safe for pets afterwards?
Yes, after the ozone treatment cycle has finished and the property has been ventilated. We'll give you clear timings — pets and houseplants must be out during the cycle.
