When Is Unattended Death & Decomposition Cleaning Needed?
Unattended death and decomposition cleaning is necessary when a death has not been immediately discovered. This situation may arise due to natural causes, accidents, or isolation.
Decomposition begins rapidly, with bacteria generating health risks such as pathogens and viral contaminants, while offensive odours can permeate the entire property. We follow strict guidelines outlined by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and use personal protective equipment (PPE) to safeguard our team and the surroundings.
This cleaning process requires specialised tools, including enzyme-based deodorisers and industrial-strength disinfectants, to remove odours and pathogens. Thorough structural assessment may be necessary, as bodily fluids can infiltrate floorboards, carpets, and walls, potentially requiring material replacement.
Timely professional intervention is essential to manage biohazards effectively, restore the property, and prevent further damage. Contact us to ensure your property is safely and thoroughly cleaned.
