Crime Scene Cleaning Services

What is crime scene cleaning?

Crime scene cleaning refers to the decontamination and biohazard removal of scenes where a crime has taken place. This includes cleaning incidents following assaults, homicides, and suicides. These areas are cleaned with the use of specialist products, industrial-grade agents, and trained crime scene cleaners using them.

The job of a crime scene cleaner is extremely difficult, requiring a course qualification, a strong stomach, and an empathetic mindset. Some of the scenes our technicians tackle are upsetting to witness and can be dangerous to interact with.

Crime scenes are full of dangerous pathogens you cannot see, so a surface clean will not make the affected area safe again. Without a professional crime scene clean-up service, these pathogens can live and evolve on any surface they come into contact with.

Our qualified crime scene clean-up process

Our service prioritises safety for our customers and our technicians. We always wear PPE (personal protective equipment) as well as respirators while on site to protect ourselves and decrease the possibility of cross-contamination, we also:

• Contain the affected areas to avoid cross-contamination
• Revive all traces of blood and biological materials
• Disinfect and test to confirm that all affected areas are free of pathogens 

Industry-leading cleaning products are utilised to effectively clean and decontaminate the crime scene, leaving it in a safe and secure condition. We are very mindful of the emotional trauma that comes with crime scene cleaning, so we will arrive in discreetly marked vehicles to protect your confidentiality and privacy. 

With our state-of-the-art technology and equipment, our technicians can thoroughly and diligently eliminate all risks. Our crime scene cleaning service ensures that when the service is complete, we will issue a decontamination certificate for your records.

Our technicians don’t just provide a high-quality clean; we believe our customers should be treated with dignity and respect, especially in very sensitive situations. If you feel that you have been impacted by traumatic scenes or incidents, we recommend that you seek help here.

What training do our technicians have?

All our technicians undergo an extensive accredited training programme provided by Ultima Environmental — previously the National Association of Crime Scene Cleaners (NACSC). They have the knowledge and experience to provide considerate, thorough services for these types of emergency needs. 

We make sure that the entire area is decontaminated, disinfected, and cleaned to the highest standards. Our professional cleaners work very closely with the medical examiners, local police, and other agencies to make sure the people involved receive the appropriate support they need.

We specialise in maintaining a swift and efficient crime scene cleaning service within the UK with the following emergencies:

• Crime scene cleaning

What are the risks of crime scene cleaning?

Crime scenes may pose health risks to the public if not dealt with promptly and professionally. Our specialist technicians can safely and appropriately take care of such dangers without putting others at risk. They can contain several hazards including:

• Bodily fluids
• Syringes
• Sharp objects
• Hazardous materials
• Exposure to illegal and sensitive information

If you have a small cut on your hand and touch affected objects or surfaces, you could become infected by the bacteria and viruses blood may contain, like HIV, or Hepatitis B and C.

You should not risk your health by attempting to clean a crime scene yourself. Contact our experienced technicians to ensure that all the blood, bodily fluids, contaminated materials and other biohazards will be fully removed from the scene.
