What is Trauma Cleaning?
Trauma cleaning (also called trauma scene cleaning or trauma decontamination) is the professional cleanup and sanitisation of properties following traumatic incidents involving blood, bodily fluids, tissue, or other biological materials. This specialist service goes far beyond regular cleaning, requiring:
Biohazard Expertise
Professional removal of blood-borne pathogens including HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, MRSA, and other dangerous infectious diseases present in blood and bodily fluids.
Specialist Equipment
Hospital-grade disinfectants, HEPA filtration systems, PPE protection, and professional extraction equipment that household cleaning products cannot match.
Structural Knowledge
Understanding how blood and bodily fluids penetrate carpets, flooring, plasterboard, concrete, and other porous materials requiring treatment or removal.
Psychological Sensitivity
Recognising the emotional trauma clients face and working with compassion, patience, and complete respect throughout the process.
Legal Compliance
Following HSE regulations, COSHH requirements, and Environment Agency waste disposal rules with proper licensing and certification.
Property Restoration
Returning properties to safe, habitable condition through thorough decontamination, odour elimination, and final restoration work.
When Do You Need Professional Trauma Cleaning in Manchester?
Trauma cleaning services are required following various incidents where blood, bodily fluids, or biological contamination occurs:
Serious Accidents at Home
Falls, ladder accidents, DIY injuries, staircase falls, or other household accidents resulting in significant blood loss requiring professional decontamination.
Medical Emergencies
Heart attacks, strokes, seizures, diabetic incidents, or other medical emergencies where blood or bodily fluids contaminate properties before paramedics arrive.
Workplace Accidents
Industrial injuries, construction accidents, warehouse incidents, or workplace falls involving blood contamination requiring professional cleanup.
Assault & Violence (Non-Criminal)
Domestic incidents, fights, or altercations involving injury and blood contamination at residential or commercial properties.
Self-Harm Incidents
Self-harm situations requiring cleanup of blood and biological materials with sensitivity to mental health circumstances.

Severe Nosebleeds & Haemorrhages
Extensive nosebleeds, internal bleeding incidents, or haemorrhages creating significant blood contamination.
Animal Attacks

Why You Must Never Attempt DIY Trauma Cleaning
Trauma scenes aren’t just unpleasant – they’re genuinely dangerous environments requiring professional expertise:
Blood-Borne Pathogen Dangers
Even small amounts of blood can contain HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, MRSA, and numerous other deadly pathogens. A single needle-stick injury or contact with contaminated surfaces can transmit life-threatening infections. Professional trauma cleaners use full PPE and follow strict protocols preventing exposure.
Hidden Contamination Risks
Blood pools on surfaces but penetrates deeply into carpets, underlay, floorboards, plasterboard, and even concrete. What appears clean remains dangerously contaminated beneath. We use specialist detection equipment and techniques to identify and remove all hidden contamination.
Psychological Trauma
Cleaning up after a traumatic incident involving someone you know causes severe psychological harm. Studies show family members attempting cleanup often develop PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Our professional teams handle this burden so you don’t have to.
Ineffective Household Products
Household bleach, disinfectants, and cleaning products don’t eliminate blood-borne pathogens effectively. Even when properly diluted (which most people don’t do correctly), they lack the pathogen-killing power of hospital-grade disinfectants we use.
Legal Disposal Requirements
Blood-soaked materials are classified as Category A or B hazardous waste requiring licensed disposal. Putting contaminated items in household bins is illegal and carries serious penalties. We ensure full legal compliance.
Property Damage Risks
Incorrect cleaning methods permanently damage flooring, carpets, walls, and furnishings. Excessive water, wrong chemicals, or improper techniques cause thousands of pounds in unnecessary damage. Our methods protect property whilst achieving decontamination.
Incomplete Decontamination
DIY attempts typically address only visible contamination, leaving dangerous pathogens in subsurface areas, porous materials, and overlooked locations. Properties appear clean but remain unsafe.
Professional trauma cleaning isn’t optional – it’s essential for your health, safety, and legal compliance.

Trauma Cleaning Costs in Manchester
Trauma cleaning costs vary based on contamination extent, property type, and work complexity. Understanding pricing factors helps you plan appropriately.
Typical Cost Ranges
Factors Affecting Cost:
Contamination Extent – Larger blood pools, spatter covering multiple surfaces, and penetration into structures increase costs due to additional labour, materials, and disposal requirements.
Property Type & Size – Small flats differ from large houses. Difficult access (high-rise buildings, narrow staircases) may affect pricing. Commercial properties often cost more than residential.
Structural Damage – When blood penetrates subflooring, plasterboard, or fixtures requiring removal and replacement, costs increase significantly due to disposal and restoration work.
Time Sensitivity – Standard timescales cost less than rush jobs requiring overnight completion or immediate service for business reopenings.
Disposal Volume – Extensive contamination generates more hazardous waste requiring disposal through licensed clinical waste carriers, increasing overall costs.
Odour Treatment Complexity – Persistent odours requiring multiple treatment cycles, extended ozone exposure, or specialised techniques increase costs.

Trauma Cleaning vs Crime Scene Cleaning
Whilst trauma cleaning and crime scene cleaning involve similar technical procedures, they differ in context and circumstances:
Trauma Cleaning
- • Accidents, medical emergencies, and non-criminal incidents
- • Self-harm situations (handled with mental health sensitivity)
- • Workplace accidents and injuries
- • Home accidents requiring biohazard cleanup
- • Medical complications and emergencies
- • Generally doesn’t involve police investigation
Crime Scene Cleaning
- • Violent crimes, assaults, and criminal incidents
- • Homicide, murder, and suspicious deaths
- • Incidents following police investigation
- • Requires coordination with Greater Manchester Police
- • Cannot begin until police release the scene
- • Often involves more extensive contamination
Both services use identical decontamination procedures, equipment, and expertise. The difference is situational context, not technical capability.
If you’re unsure which service you need, just call us. We’ll identify the appropriate service based on your circumstances.

We guarantee 30-45 minute response times across Greater Manchester for trauma cleaning emergencies, operating 24/7 including weekends and bank holidays. We understand trauma contamination poses immediate health risks requiring urgent professional response.
Is trauma cleaning covered by insurance?
Many homeowners and commercial insurance policies cover trauma cleaning following accidents, medical emergencies, and non-criminal incidents. Coverage depends on your specific policy and incident circumstances. We work directly with insurers and provide all required documentation for claims.
How much does trauma cleaning cost in Manchester?
Costs typically range from £800-£1,500 for minor incidents to £6,000-£12,000 for extensive trauma requiring structural removal. We provide detailed written quotes after assessing contamination extent. Many situations are insurance-covered.
How long does trauma cleaning take?
Simple trauma scenes with limited contamination may take 4-8 hours. More extensive incidents typically require 1-2 days. Very complex situations can take 2-4 days. We work as efficiently as possible whilst ensuring thorough decontamination.
Can you save furniture and belongings from trauma scenes?
Non-porous items like metal, glass, hard plastics, and sealed wood can usually be decontaminated and saved. Heavily contaminated porous materials like upholstered furniture, mattresses, and carpets often require disposal. We assess each item individually and always consult with clients before disposal.
Is trauma cleaning dangerous to attempt yourself?
Yes, extremely dangerous. Blood and bodily fluids contain potentially deadly pathogens including HIV, Hepatitis, and MRSA. Our technicians use full PPE, hospital-grade disinfectants, and proper procedures. DIY attempts put you at serious health risk and often leave dangerous contamination.
Will there be odours after trauma cleaning?
No. We use advanced odour elimination including thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generation to permanently remove all trauma-related odours. Properties are completely odour-free upon completion.
Do you work with Greater Manchester Police?
Yes. When trauma incidents involve police investigation (even if non-criminal), we coordinate with GMP ensuring cleanup begins only after appropriate clearance. Police often recommend our services to families and property owners.

All biohazard waste is packaged according to regulations and disposed of through licensed clinical waste carriers. We provide complete waste transfer documentation for your records. Disposal follows all Environment Agency requirements.
Can neighbours tell what you’re doing?
We maintain complete discretion using unmarked vehicles and plain uniforms without obvious biohazard identification. We don’t advertise our purpose to neighbours. Our work is as private as possible.
What if the trauma incident happened in a rental property?
Landlords are generally responsible for professional trauma cleaning before re-letting. We work with Manchester landlords regularly, providing rapid turnaround minimising void periods. Landlord insurance often covers these costs depending on circumstances.
