Common questions
- How quickly can you attend?
- We hold 24/7 response for trauma and biohazard work and meet contracted response times for the emergency services. Call the number on this page and you will get a person rather than a queue.
- Will it be obvious to neighbours?
- No. This work is done discreetly, with unmarked vehicles and crews where the situation calls for it. For a family dealing with a death at home, that discretion is usually the thing that matters most.
- Is this covered by insurance?
- Frequently, yes — both household and commercial policies often cover specialist cleaning after an incident. We provide documentation written for an insurer, which makes the claim considerably easier.
- What happens to the waste?
- It is segregated as clinical or hazardous waste and disposed of through licensed routes with full duty-of-care paperwork. That documentation is part of the job, not an extra.
- Do you deal with needles?
- Yes. Needle sweeps of stairwells, communal areas and grounds are routine work for housing providers, done with sharps handling procedures and proper disposal.
- Can families call you directly?
- Yes. A great deal of this work comes through police, housing providers and insurers, but private clients can call the same number — and often do, because the alternative is doing it themselves.
- What does the process involve?
- An assessment, containment of the affected area, removal of contaminated material, cleaning and decontamination of surfaces, odour treatment, and licensed disposal — with documentation at the end. It is done in protective equipment throughout.
