Service Overview

Service Overview

After a vehicle is recovered from an accident scene, biological material, broken glass, and contamination often remain on the kerb, driveway, road surface, or surrounding area. We clean the scene to a pre-incident state — biohazard removal, surface disinfection, and ozone or thermal fogging where odours are present.

Our Approach

Our Approach

Road traffic accident cleanup happens after the vehicle has been recovered. We arrive in PPE and assess what remains on the scene — usually a combination of biological material, fluids, glass, plastic fragments, and oil residue. Biological material is bagged for compliant disposal; surfaces are cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectants. For driveways or private hardstanding, we use industrial wet vacs to extract contaminated fluids. Where odours are present, ozone or thermal fogging is used. Documentation is timestamped for insurance purposes.

Common Questions

Common Questions About Road Traffic Accident Cleanup

Is this different from cleaning the inside of the vehicle?
Yes. Vehicle interior decontamination is a separate service — we do that too. RTA cleanup is the scene where the accident happened (kerbside, driveway, road surface) once the vehicle has been removed.
Do you work with insurance companies?
We provide quotes and documentation that motor insurers and home insurers commonly accept. We don't direct-bill, but our paperwork has been used successfully for claims.
Can you clean public roads?
Public highways are usually handled by the council or highway authority. We work on private hardstanding (driveways, private car parks, business forecourts) and can coordinate with the highway authority where the line is unclear.
