Step by step

How the clean-up works

The same careful process on every job, whatever has happened and wherever in Pollokshields it is.

  1. 1

    Assess

    We attend, assess the property and the contamination, and agree a written price before any work begins. The assessment is free.

  2. 2

    Contain

    We isolate the affected area so nothing spreads to clean parts of the property, and set up the right protective controls.

  3. 3

    Remove

    Contaminated materials that cannot be salvaged are removed and bagged for disposal through a licensed clinical-waste carrier.

  4. 4

    Clean & disinfect

    Every affected surface is cleaned and treated with hospital-grade disinfectant to a verifiable standard.

  5. 5

    Deodorise

    We treat lingering odour at source rather than masking it, so the property does not smell of what happened.

  6. 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 Pollokshields 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 Pollokshields.

Is biohazard cleaning in Pollokshields 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 Pollokshields do you cover?

We cover the whole of Pollokshields, including Pollokshields East, Pollokshields West, Albert Drive, Maxwell Park, Shields Road and Nithsdale Road, and the surrounding area.
