Police forensic teams do not clean the scene; that legal and practical responsibility falls to the property owner or family, and it requires certified biohazard protocols. ### Who it's for We are called by families immediately after police release a scene, by landlords whose tenants have been involved in an incident, by housing associations responding to community trauma, by insurers and loss adjusters coordinating claim responses, and occasionally by employers handling workplace incidents. Every call is handled in confidence and without judgement. ### When to call The scene becomes our responsibility as soon as Merseyside Police, Cheshire Police or the relevant authority hands it back. Speed matters - biological material denatures rapidly, porous surfaces absorb contamination, and decomposition products penetrate plasterboard, sub-floor and joists within hours. We mobilise crew within 2–4 hours of release, 24/7. ### Why professional matters Untrained cleaning of a trauma scene is dangerous (bloodborne pathogens - HIV, hepatitis B and C, prion diseases - remain viable for hours to days), legally exposing (improper biohazard disposal is a Hazardous Waste Regulations offence), and almost always emotionally devastating for family members. Specialist crews exist so that families and landlords do not have to do this themselves. Guide Pricing ## Guide prices for crime scene cleaning. Guide prices only. Final cost depends on access, volume, hazard level and site survey. Contact us for a free written quote. Job Type Typical Scope Price From Call-out Initial attendance and on-site assessment From £500 Standard scene Single area, post-police release From £800 Complex scene Multi-room, heavy contamination, deodorising From £1,800 Major incident Structural decontamination, full property strip-out From £3,000+ Prices exclude VAT. Crime scene work is quoted on a per-incident basis after a discreet on-site assessment. Insurer-paid claims invoiced direct. What Happens If It's Left ## The cost of delay is rarely the cost you see. What people don't realise about trauma scenes is how quickly the situation worsens - and how invisible the worst of it becomes. - ### Bloodborne pathogen exposure Hepatitis B remains infective on dry surfaces for up to seven days. HIV, hepatitis C and a range of bacteria are present in any biological release. Domestic cleaning products do not deactivate them. - ### Sub-surface contamination Blood and fluids penetrate carpet underlay, sub-floor, plasterboard skirting and tile grouting within hours. Surface-only cleaning leaves the contamination in place - it just becomes invisible. - ### Decomposition odour Undiscovered death scenes generate volatile organic compounds (cadaverine, putrescine) that bind to plasterboard, paint and fabric. Standard air fresheners mask the odour for hours, then it returns - properties are sometimes uninhabitable for months without proper remediation. - ### Legal disposal exposure Trauma waste is Category B hazardous waste under HW Regulations 2005. Disposal in domestic bins is a criminal offence and routinely results in prosecution and tracing back to the source property. - ### Family trauma Family members who attempt to clean a scene themselves frequently develop acute stress reactions and post-traumatic symptoms. This is not a job that can be done while grieving, and it should not be expected of anyone. Our Process ## A defined sequence. Documented at every step. 1. STEP 01 ### Confidential 24/7 Call Direct line to Shaun, day or night. We confirm property access, incident type (broadly), scene release status and family / landlord contacts. 2. STEP 02 ### Mobilisation Crew dispatched within 2–4 hours of scene release across the Wirral, Liverpool and Cheshire. Two-person team minimum, full PPE and RPE, biohazard containment kit. 3. STEP 03 ### Scene Assessment & Containment Affected area is sealed from the rest of the property. Photographs taken for the evidence pack (with sensitivity). Affected surfaces and substrates assessed for porosity and penetration. 4. STEP 04 ### Removal & Decontamination Saturated soft materials (carpet, underlay, mattresses, plasterboard) are removed under Category B hazardous waste protocol. Hard surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and treated with EN 14476-certified virucidal disinfectants. 5. STEP 05 ### Odour & Air Remediation Where decomposition odour has penetrated, we use ozone or hydroxyl generation, sealing of affected substrate, and where required removal and replacement of contaminated plasterboard and timber. 6. STEP 06 ### Verification & Sign-Off ATP swab testing on critical surfaces (commercial / insurer jobs), photographic evidence pack, hazardous waste consignment notes, and a written completion certificate. Why It's Worth Doing Properly ## Specific outcomes. Not vague promises. Every benefit below is something you can measure, document or hand to an insurer - not a slogan. ### Family doesn't have to do this The single most important benefit - families are not exposed to the scene, the materials, or the disposal process. ### Property restored properly Surface cleaning leaves the contamination behind. Proper remediation removes affected substrate and decontaminates what remains - the property is genuinely safe afterwards. ### Insurer-ready evidence pack Photographic evidence, scope of works, materials removed and decontamination certification - formatted for direct submission to loss adjusters. ### 24/7 response Crew mobilised within hours of scene release, day or night, across the Wirral, Liverpool and Cheshire. ### Complete discretion Unmarked vehicles, plain PPE, no signage. The street and the neighbours don't need to know what has happened. ### Legally compliant disposal All trauma waste handled under hazardous waste consignment notes - no exposure for the property owner or family. In Detail ## Methods, materials and the situations we handle. Trauma scene work covers a range of incident types. Here's how each is handled in practice. ### Post-violent-incident cleaning Assaults, stabbings and other violent incidents typically involve concentrated blood release in a localised area. Process focuses on containment, removal of saturated materials, and full surface decontamination - usually completed in a single day. ### Suicide & self-harm scenes Handled with the highest possible sensitivity to the family. We coordinate timing around family wishes, work with discretion regarding visible activity from the street, and provide a documented but sensitively-worded completion report. ### Undiscovered death (post-mortem decomposition) Properties undiscovered for more than 24–48 hours present decomposition products that have penetrated soft furnishings, carpet, sub-floor and plasterboard. These jobs frequently require partial strip-out and reinstatement - handled in coordination with our environmental cleaning service. ### Road traffic & workplace incidents Blood and fluid release on highways, workplaces or commercial premises - handled in coordination with the responsible authority or employer, with site-safety paperwork issued before re-entry. ### Sharps & needle clearance Discovered drug paraphernalia in stairwells, communal areas or abandoned properties - handled under our biohazard service with controlled sharps containers and hazardous waste consignment. ### Working with the police, coroner & funeral director We coordinate with police family liaison officers, the coroner's office, and funeral directors to ensure the scene is handed back in a state the family does not have to face.
