What it is
What biohazard cleaning covers.
Biohazard cleaning is the specialist removal and decontamination of blood, bodily fluids, decomposition residue, sewage, and other hazardous biological material from a property. The work requires personal protective equipment, hospital-grade chemicals, and waste disposal through licensed hazardous-waste channels.
Standard domestic cleaning won't handle this work. Even commercial deep-cleaning teams without specialist training will refuse. The right specialist arrives in full PPE with biocidal cleaning agents and the documentation insurers and landlords need afterwards.
If you've been told a property needs biohazard cleaning by police, a coroner, an insurer, a landlord, or a doctor, this is the page for you.
When you'd need this
When biohazard cleaning is the right call.
Most people who land on this page are dealing with something distressing and time-sensitive. The scenarios below cover the cases the Canary Wharf specialists we connect customers with handle most often.
- Unattended death in the property. After a coroner has released the scene, cleaning is required before sale, re-letting, or family re-entry.
- Crime scene release. Police have completed their work and signed the property back to the owner or landlord.
- Serious accident with blood or bodily-fluid contamination across surfaces or carpets.
- Sewage backup or burst pipe in a contaminated area (drainage backflow into a flat, for example).
- Decomposition cleanup, including odour neutralisation and removal of porous materials that have absorbed contamination.
- Suicide cleanup, including support coordinating with family and insurers.
- Hoarder properties with biohazard cross-over (urine, faeces, decomposing food, pest contamination).
The work
What the specialist actually does on site.
Specialist biohazard teams follow a documented process from arrival to clearance. Every Canary Wharf partner we work with uses PPE rated for biological contamination and disposes of waste through licensed hazardous-waste channels.
Arrival is in unmarked vehicles where requested. PPE is full coverage: tyvek suits, double-glove, respirator with appropriate filter, eye protection, sealed boots. Contamination zones are marked off before any cleaning begins.
Cleaning uses hospital-grade chemistry: virucidal and biocidal agents (typically hypochlorite-based or peroxide-based depending on contamination type). Porous materials that have absorbed contamination (carpets, soft furnishings, sometimes plasterboard or floorboards) are removed, bagged in hazardous-waste containers, and disposed of through licensed channels. Not domestic waste, not skips.
Hard surfaces are cleaned, disinfected, and verified clean. Odour treatment uses ozone or hydroxyl generators where needed, which neutralise smell at molecular level rather than masking it with fragrance.
Clearance documentation is provided at the end of the job. This includes a certificate of cleanliness for insurance, landlord, or sale purposes, and waste-transfer notes showing licensed disposal.
- Full PPE for the team. Tyvek suits, respirators, double-gloved, sealed boots.
- Hospital-grade biocidal and virucidal cleaning chemicals.
- Removal of contaminated porous materials (carpets, soft furnishings, plasterboard if soaked).
- Hazardous-waste disposal through licensed channels. Not domestic skips.
- Ozone or hydroxyl odour treatment if needed.
- Certificate of cleanliness for insurance, sale, or landlord records.

Process
From your call to property cleared.
1. You tell us what has happened
Quick form, photos if you can take them safely, any detail you want to add. The wizard captures what the specialist needs before they call. Mon to Fri 9 to 5 we call within the hour. Outside those hours, by 9am the next working day.
2. We brief the right specialist
On our call we confirm the scope and connect you with the Canary Wharf biohazard specialist best fit for the job. We work with a vetted specialist team that covers the Docklands and travels to the job, with further vetted teams available as alternates depending on timing and case specifics.
3. The specialist quotes
Usually within 24 hours of our call. Often the same day for urgent cases. The specialist quotes the work directly to you, including any insurance liaison they will handle. There is no markup from us. The price you pay the specialist is the specialist's price.
4. Work scheduled and completed
The specialist arranges timing with you. Urgent cases (death cleanup, sewage, crime scene release) are typically scheduled within 24 to 48 hours. You receive a certificate of cleanliness at the end of the job. Insurers, landlords, and solicitors accept this as proof the property has been properly remediated.
Why come through us
One call. The right specialist. No shopping around.
When you call a specialist directly, you spend the first ten minutes explaining what's happened to a stranger who doesn't know you. Then you ask them to quote on something they haven't seen. Then you call the next one for comparison, and the next.
When you come through us, you tell us once. We brief the specialist before they call you. They arrive at the conversation already knowing the scope, the urgency, and the context. The customer who has just lost a family member does not have to retell the story three times.
We've worked with these specialists for years. We know which one suits a coroner-released property versus a sewage backup versus a hoarder cross-over case. The triage matters.
It costs you nothing. We make our money from the introduction, not from you. The price you pay the specialist is the price they quote.
Pricing
How biohazard cleaning is priced.
We can't quote biohazard work from a form. Pricing depends on the scope of contamination, the size of the affected area, what porous materials need to be removed, what licensed disposal channels are needed, and whether insurance is involved. The specialist quotes on the call after you've described the situation.
Insurance jobs are common for biohazard cleaning. If you have home insurance covering trauma cleanup, or landlord insurance covering tenant-caused contamination, the specialists we connect customers with can liaise with your insurer directly and bill them rather than you.
We never add a markup. The price the specialist quotes is the price you pay.
Our partners
The Docklands specialists we work with.
We connect biohazard cleaning customers with three vetted Docklands specialist partners. We've worked with all three for years and we choose the right one for each case based on certifications, availability, and the specifics of the job.
For biohazard work we connect you with a vetted specialist team that covers the Docklands and travels to the job. They are DBS-checked, insured, and handle trauma and biohazard cleaning as a core part of their work.
Also available as alternates: A vetted commercial and specialist cleaning team that covers the Docklands and East London. A vetted specialist team we have worked with for years, with a response within the hour.
You don't choose the specialist yourself. On our call after you submit the form, we'll match your case to the right partner based on certifications, current availability, and the specifics. You pay the specialist directly. We never add a markup.
Related specialist services
Biohazard Cleaning cases often overlap with other specialist work.
Specialist cases rarely fit one category cleanly. If your situation involves more than one of the services below, mention it on the form. We'll match you to a specialist who handles both, or connect you with two partners working together.
- Hoarder cleaning. Hoarder properties often reach biohazard threshold (urine, faeces, decomposing food). Same PPE protocols apply where they do.
- Cleaning after pest control. Rat and mouse cleanup is technically biohazard category. We treat rodent contamination with the same PPE and licensed disposal.
- Severe mould removal. Sewage flooding and burst pipes often cause secondary mould issues once the water is removed. Some cases need both teams in sequence.
