Biohazard & trauma cleaning in Richmond
Discreet, fully-insured biohazard, trauma and crime scene cleaning in Richmond, answered 24 hours a day, and often covered by insurance.
A good deal of our Richmond work is unattended-death and hoarding cleaning in the larger older houses out towards Ham and East Sheen, where a resident may live alone and a problem builds up out of sight. We come quietly, at any hour, and can deal with the family or the estate for you.
Crime scene cleaning in Richmond
A riverside house near the town centre and an older conversion further out towards East Sheen call for the same discreet, careful response after a serious incident, the property made safe and clean again, working around the police where needed.

A quiet house near Petersham or a property closer to the town centre, an undiscovered death is distressing wherever it happens, and we manage the decontamination, the odour and the family's needs with the same sensitivity throughout.

It's often a larger older house towards Ham or East Sheen where a hoarding problem in Richmond has built up furthest out of sight; we clear it at the resident's own pace, working with them rather than simply emptying the rooms.

A riverside house near North Sheen or a property closer to the town centre, a blood spill in either carries the same infection risk, so we remove it and disinfect the area properly rather than treating it as a surface wipe.

Richmond's proximity to the Thames and its older plumbing near the town centre both raise the risk of sewage backing up into a property; we extract the contaminated water, strip out what's damaged and dry the structure properly.

Richmond's parks and open spaces, including the fringes of Richmond Park itself, are where discarded needles most often turn up; we collect them into approved sharps containers and arrange removal by a licensed clinical-waste carrier.

How the clean-up works
The same careful process on every job, whatever has happened and wherever in Richmond it is.
- 1
Assess
We attend, assess the property and the contamination, and agree a written price before any work begins. The assessment is free.
- 2
Contain
We isolate the affected area so nothing spreads to clean parts of the property, and set up the right protective controls.
- 3
Remove
Contaminated materials that cannot be salvaged are removed and bagged for disposal through a licensed clinical-waste carrier.
- 4
Clean & disinfect
Every affected surface is cleaned and treated with hospital-grade disinfectant to a verifiable standard.
- 5
Deodorise
We treat lingering odour at source rather than masking it, so the property does not smell of what happened.
- 6
Verify & hand over
We check the result, confirm the area is safe to use again, and provide documentation for landlords or insurers where needed.

Questions people in Richmond ask
Do I need to call the council or the police first?
If a crime or a sudden death is involved, the police attend first and will release the property when they are done; we work after that. For anything else you can call us directly, and if you are unsure we will tell you the right order to do things.
Will anyone know what has happened?
No. We arrive in an unmarked van, in plain clothing, and work discreetly. Nothing on the vehicle or our approach identifies the nature of the job to neighbours in Richmond.
Is biohazard cleaning in Richmond covered by insurance?
Often, yes. Trauma, crime scene and unattended-death cleaning is frequently covered by home, contents or landlord insurance. We can quote for the claim and deal with your insurer directly so you do not have to.
What areas around Richmond do you cover?
We cover the whole of Richmond, including Richmond Hill, East Sheen, Kew, Ham, Petersham and North Sheen, and the surrounding area. Nearby towns such as Twickenham and Kingston upon Thames have their own dedicated pages.
