Manchester’s Specialist Problem Tenancy Cleaning Service
As a landlord or letting agent in Manchester, most tenancies end without issue. Tenants leave properties in reasonable condition requiring only standard cleaning. Occasionally, however, you face a tenancy end that’s genuinely problematic – severe hoarding, contamination, biohazards, abandonment with extreme damage, or situations making properties uninhabitable and impossible for regular cleaners to handle.
BiohazardCleaningManchester.co.uk specialises in these extreme end of tenancy situations across Greater Manchester. When you discover a property that shocks you, that standard cleaning companies refuse to quote on, or that requires biohazard expertise and waste disposal licensing – that’s when you call us.
We serve landlords, letting agents, housing associations, and property managers throughout Manchester, Stockport, Tameside, Oldham, and surrounding areas, transforming even the most severely neglected or contaminated properties back to lettable condition.
Extreme End of Tenancy Situations We Handle
Severe Hoarding Tenancies
Tenants with hoarding disorder often leave properties filled with possessions, rubbish, and contamination. Standard cleaning companies cannot handle these situations. We provide complete hoarding clearance, deep cleaning, biohazard decontamination, pest treatment, and odour elimination.
Typical issues: Rooms filled floor-to-ceiling, rotting food, vermin infestation, human/animal waste, structural damage hidden beneath clutter, fire hazards, severe odours
View Hoarding Cleanup Services →Deceased Tenant Properties
When tenants pass away in properties, especially if undiscovered for any length of time, professional decontamination becomes essential. We handle decomposition cleanup, bodily fluid removal, odour elimination, and property restoration with sensitivity and expertise.
Typical issues: Decomposition contamination, persistent odours, structural fluid penetration, insect infestation, biohazard materials requiring specialist disposal
View Deceased Estate Cleaning →Abandoned Tenancies with Severe Damage
Tenants sometimes abandon properties leaving behind extensive rubbish, damage, contamination, and belongings. These situations require comprehensive clearance, deep cleaning, and often biohazard treatment beyond standard cleaning capabilities.
Typical issues: Rooms filled with rubbish, severe neglect, mould growth, pest infestation, broken fixtures, contaminated materials, abandoned possessions
View Void Property Cleaning →Drug Use & Needle Contamination
Properties used for drug consumption or small-scale dealing often contain used needles, syringes, drug paraphernalia, and biohazard contamination. Safe removal requires licensed specialists with proper sharps handling procedures.
Typical issues: Needles and syringes throughout property, blood contamination, drug residue, burnt surfaces, damaged fixtures, strong chemical odours
View Needle Cleanup Services →Sewage Contamination
Tenant misuse, blocked drains, or flooding can cause sewage contamination throughout properties. This Category 3 water damage requires professional biohazard cleanup, not standard cleaning.
Typical issues: Sewage backup, toilet overflows, drain flooding, contaminated flooring and carpets, severe odours, bacterial contamination
View Sewage Cleanup Services →Severe Pet Damage
Multiple animals, inadequate care, or extreme situations create contamination beyond normal pet wear. Urine-soaked floors, faeces accumulation, and animal hoarding require specialist treatment.
Typical issues: Urine penetration into subflooring, faeces accumulation, overwhelming odours, carpet and flooring destruction, pest infestation from neglect
Squatter & Trespasser Damage
Properties occupied by squatters often suffer extensive damage, contamination, drug use evidence, and require comprehensive cleanup before re-letting.
Typical issues: Vandalism, human waste, drug paraphernalia, fire damage, structural damage, extensive rubbish, biohazard contamination
View Squat Property Cleanup →Mental Health Crisis Properties
Tenants experiencing severe mental health crises sometimes create living conditions with extreme neglect, contamination, or hoarding requiring sensitive, professional intervention.
Typical issues: Severe neglect, lack of basic hygiene, contamination, hoarding behaviours, property damage from lack of maintenance
Fire or Smoke Damage with Contamination
Fires in rental properties often combine structural damage with biohazard concerns, especially in hoarding situations or when emergency services leave contaminated water.
Typical issues: Smoke damage, water contamination, structural instability, combined with existing tenant issues requiring specialist cleanup
Excessive Rubbish & Fly-Tipping
Some tenancies end with properties literally filled with rubbish bags, fly-tipped materials, or years of accumulated waste requiring professional clearance and deep cleaning.
Typical issues: Rooms filled with rubbish bags, rotting organic waste, pest infestation, contaminated floors, overwhelming odours requiring professional treatment

Minor Situations
1-2 days
Moderate Situations
2-4 days
Severe Situations
4-7 days
Extreme Situations
7-14 days
Timescales depend on property size, contamination extent, access, and whether additional services (pest control, odour treatment) are required.
We prioritise rapid turnaround to minimise void periods whilst ensuring thorough work.
What Does Extreme End of Tenancy Cleaning Cost?
Costs vary significantly based on property condition. To give you realistic expectations:
Light Problem Tenancies
£800 – £1,500
Moderate neglect, some clearance, deep cleaning required but minimal biohazard concerns
Moderate Problem Tenancies
£1,500 – £3,500
Significant clearance, contamination present, odour treatment, pest control needed
Severe Problem Tenancies

Hoarding situations, biohazard decontamination, extensive clearance, major cleaning
Extreme Problem Tenancies

Severe hoarding, major decomposition cleanup, structural contamination, extensive work
Factors Affecting Cost:
- Property size (flats vs houses)

We provide detailed written quotes before starting work. No hidden fees, complete transparency.
Can Costs Be Recovered?
Tenant Deposit:
Severe damage and contamination typically exceeds deposits. However, thorough documentation (photographs, itemised invoices) supports maximum deposit deduction through deposit schemes.
Insurance Claims:
Landlord insurance policies often cover malicious damage by tenants, biohazard contamination (deceased tenants, sewage), and some types of severe damage. We provide detailed documentation meeting insurance requirements and work directly with insurers when appropriate.
Legal Action Against Tenants:
Costs exceeding deposits can be pursued through legal channels. Our detailed documentation, photographs, and professional certification support these claims.
We Help Landlords Maximise Cost Recovery
Through proper documentation and insurance coordination, we support landlords in recovering as much of the cleanup costs as possible.

Extreme End of Tenancy Cleaning – Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need your service or standard cleaning?
If you walked into the property and thought “a normal cleaner can’t handle this” or if it involves hoarding, biohazards, severe neglect, contamination, needles, sewage, or decomposition – you need us. If it just needs a good deep clean with no contamination or extreme issues, you need standard cleaning.
Can you provide quotes without visiting?
For initial budgeting, we can provide rough estimates from photographs. However, for accurate quotes, site visits are necessary to assess hidden contamination, structural issues, and full scope of work.
How quickly can work start?
Most properties assessed within 24 hours, quotes provided same day or next day. Work typically starts within 2-3 days of quote acceptance, sooner for emergencies.
Do you handle the rubbish disposal?
Yes, completely. We remove everything, sort appropriately (recyclables, general waste, hazardous waste), and dispose of legally through proper channels with full documentation.
Can you coordinate with other contractors?
Yes. We often work alongside builders, electricians, plumbers, and other trades. We can sequence work appropriately and provide final cleaning after repairs.
What about tenant belongings left behind?
We photograph everything. Items of potential value are stored temporarily giving tenants opportunity to collect. After appropriate legal periods, we dispose of remaining items properly.
Will you provide evidence for deposit disputes?
Absolutely. Comprehensive before/after photographs, detailed condition reports, itemised invoices – everything needed for deposit scheme adjudication or legal proceedings.
Can you work with our insurance company?
Yes. We work regularly with landlord insurance providers, providing documentation they require and coordinating direct billing for approved claims.
Do you guarantee odour removal?
Yes. We guarantee complete odour elimination or return to continue treatment at no additional cost until odours are gone.
Can you handle multiple properties?
Yes. We regularly work with letting agents and landlords managing multiple properties, scheduling efficiently across your portfolio.
