Extreme Cleaning Services

Clearway provides extreme cleaning services that sanitise properties after squatters, crime scenes, or infestations to restore them to a safe, habitable condition. Extreme cleaning services involve professional, methodical, and fully compliant cleaning of properties affected by squatters, crime scenes, or infestations, using highly trained sanitisation teams to restore them to a safe, habitable condition.

Extreme cleaning services are specialised, professional clean-ups for heavily contaminated or neglected properties, going far beyond standard deep cleaning to handle biohazards, trauma, hoarding, squatters, drug dens, or sewage issues.

Professional Extreme Cleaning to Restore and Sanitise Properties and Businesses

It is upsetting and distressing to discover that a property or site has been exposed to fatalities, criminal damage, or environmental impacts that render it unsafe. It is always paramount to ensure that no one enters the site without formal clearance to protect their safety and well-being.

Crimes, fatalities, and intrusions can render properties incredibly unsafe, leaving owners and businesses faced with the prospect of trying to recover access and remove hazards quickly, without putting their health at risk. Our extreme cleaning teams do just that, with full licensure, experience, resources, and equipment to deal with clean-ups following a range of traumatic, environmental, or fly-tipping incidents.

Since 1991, Clearway’s highly trained operatives have provided a specialist extreme-clean service for domestic, commercial, local authority, and police services, the latter as the official Metropolitan Police Crime Scene and Trauma clean-up partner since 2009.

Clearway protects people, assets, and projects by reducing risks, preventing costly delays, and ensuring full compliance with safety and insurance requirements.

Key Features

Sanitisation Following a Fatality:

Finding that a death, suicide, or undiscovered fatality has occurred in your premises can be deeply upsetting. Extreme cleaning teams act with sensitivity to remove all remains or hazards with dignity and sanitise the space thoroughly to eliminate all potential risks.

Sanitising a Property After Squatting:

Trespassing, squatting, arson, and other criminal activity, such as illegal occupancy linked to drug use, can render a building highly unsafe. Extreme cleaning can involve clearing all sharps, residues, and waste before comprehensive sanitisation.

Restoring Buildings After Infestations:

Animal infestations, often caused by larvae, rodents, and other insects, require deep sanitisation, starting with fumigation to remove all hazards, pathogens, and residues from all surfaces.

Cleaning Vacant or Empty Properties:

Empty units can attract trespassers, vandals, moulds, and spores that pose significant health risks. Deep cleaning ensures the site has been decontaminated and that all hazards have been removed for safe re-entry.

How Extreme Cleaning Works in Practice

From Call to Hire, getting your site secured is straightforward

1. Urgent Removal of High-Risk Items:

Cleaning teams are licensed and trained in the emergency clearance of items like needles, sharps, drug waste, and biohazards, including bodily fluids.

2. Sanitisation and Clearance of Infestations:

Common within vacant and void properties, infestations of rats, insects, birds, and larvae need to be thoroughly cleared, while complying with environmental and DEFRA regulations.

3. Deep Cleaning of Mould, Rot and Odours:

Serious odours, buildups of biohazards, and signs of mould or rot are cleaned using professional-grade products and processes to ensure no residues or odours remain.

4. Full-Property Extreme Cleaning:

Teams can manage specific locations that need to be deep cleaned following a fatality or undiscovered death or provide complete clearance for properties left in poor condition after abandonment, squatting, or evictions.

How to Organise Extreme Cleaning Services

1. Contact Clearway’s Extreme Cleaning Specialists:

We operate nationwide and are always on hand to offer immediate advice about preventing access to the property or space and protecting the well-being of yourself and other personnel.

2. Advise on the Nature and Urgency of the Situation:

Once we have an understanding of the circumstances, we will deploy teams with the appropriate cleaning resources, solutions, and materials, whether dealing with sewage, crime scenes, mould, infestations, or waste.

3. Ensure the Site Has Been Cleared for Cleaning:

Should the premises have been the site of a crime or fatality, we can liaise with the police to ensure extreme cleaning teams begin work only when forensic and investigatory tasks have been completed.

4. Produce Documentation:

Confirmation of the deep cleaning completed ensures property owners remain compliant and mitigate their own liabilities, with evidence of a professional, certified, and licensed team having managed the sanitisation.

Key Problems Extreme Cleaning Services Address

Our extreme cleaning teams provide years of expertise and work to ensure all sites are cleaned effectively, with minimal disruption. We also fully oversee the cleaning techniques and solutions used to return your property to a safe, usable condition.

You’ve Found Hazardous or Dangerous Waste and Don’t Know What to Do:

Coming across bodily fluids, drug paraphernalia, weapons, or needles can be deeply distressing, and you should never attempt to handle or remove these items under any circumstances.

There’s Been a Fatality, Suicide, or Undiscovered Death on Your Property:

You’ve had the awful experience of finding a fatality or hearing that a death has occurred on a site you are responsible for. You need to ensure it is sanitised respectfully and safely.

Squatters, Trespassers, or Illegal Occupants Have Left a Site Contaminated or Unsafe:

Criminal intruders or occupants have accessed your business or premises, and you need to act quickly to remove contamination and make the site safe and reusable.

There is a Severe Odour, Mould, Rot, or Biohazard Making Your Property Uninhabitable:

You’re looking for the fastest and safest way to remove mould spores and rot from your property or to eliminate offensive odours.

You’re Dealing with Infestations and Contaminations That Need Deep Cleaning:

Insect and animal infestations require professional removal, with compliance with regulations relevant to the protection of specific species, particularly birds.

Sewage Leaks and Overflows or Structural Damage Have Made Your Property Unsafe:

Issues with local sewage infrastructure have created unsanitary conditions that you need to address, including damage to pipes and drainage systems.

You Need a Compliant Clean-up Team to Meet Insurance Requirements or Police Guidance:

You’re faced with the aftermath of a crime and have advisory information from the police, or terms and conditions you need to meet to ensure your insurance remains valid.

You Require Professional Support to Manage a Dangerous or Distressing Situation:

What Do Our Security Experts Say?

Our UK Sales Director, Kelvin Danton, explains why extreme cleaning is so important.

Nothing is pleasant about extreme cleaning, and, very often, the risk to health for everybody concerned is very serious, particularly when dealing with the remnants of drug usage, including blood, hypodermics, faeces, and other bodily fluids. The risk of exposure to serious health conditions such as HIV, Hepatitis, TB, and Scabies is extremely high.

This is why we strongly recommend using a professional, qualified, and accredited extreme cleaning team with sufficient knowledge and resources to enable them to work quickly and effectively without putting themselves or any other site users at risk.

Technical Features of Extreme Cleaning Services

Trauma Clean-up:

After a death, accident, or assault, the site owner is responsible for the thorough cleaning of the site. Commercial-grade disinfectants are used to eliminate the risks of pathogens and bloodborne viruses while ensuring all human and physical waste is safely and respectfully cleared.

Mould Removal:

Mould, spores, and fungi require specialist cleaning to ensure that not only the visual signs are removed but also invisible residues, spores, and underlying causes are fully treated and sanitised.

Sharps Disposal:

Professional, safe disposal of sharps such as needles, weapons, broken glass, and other unsafe items is essential following any accident, intrusion, or squatting where site users could be exposed to serious risks of injury and infection.

Sewage Removal:

Leaks from pipes and outlets can cause significant damage, requiring the removal of all sewage waste, the dismantling of all contaminated fixtures and furnishings, and the full sanitisation of all surfaces throughout the premises.

Fumigation Services:

Fumigation and smoking devices are used to remove airborne bacteria and spores, decontaminate premises after infestations, and remove odours from the air and surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question about our site security? Read our frequently asked questions.

What Qualifies as ‘Extreme Cleaning’ Compared to Standard Cleaning?

Extreme cleaning services are suited to any scenario where cleaning shouldn’t or cannot be carried out by untrained professionals without appropriate PPE protection, safe handling protocols, authorisation to handle sharps and needles, or the resources to fumigate, decontaminate, and sanitise all surfaces and areas.

As just a few examples, our extreme cleaning teams might tackle heavily contaminated vacant properties, dispose of hazardous materials, handle waste that poses health risks, such as sewage and body fluids, and arrive with specialised equipment.

How Quickly Can You Attend an Emergency Biohazard or Trauma Clean?

We recognise that it’s often very upsetting to discover a fatality or infestation, and we endeavour to respond as quickly as possible, with same-day and next-day callouts available depending on the urgency of the circumstances and the location of the affected property.

Are Your Teams Trained to Handle Undiscovered Deaths or Crime Scenes?

Yes, of course – we are a highly qualified, certified, and accredited extreme cleaning provider, and all personnel have advanced training in the use of PPE, the removal of bloodborne pathogens, safety protocols for biohazardous materials, and OSHA regulations.

Clearway has years of experience providing discreet, confidential extreme cleans of crime scenes and has worked as the official partner of the Metropolitan Police for 16 years.

Do You Remove Needles and Drug-Related Waste Safely?

Certainly, and we strongly advise against ever attempting to handle drug paraphernalia, as this can be extremely hazardous to health, with needles that can carry severe risks such as being contaminated with Hepatitis and HIV.

Our professionals are qualified in the safe removal of syringes, hypodermics, and drug residues, among other dangerous items.

Can You Provide Documentation for Insurance Claims?

Indeed we can, and it’s common for insurance providers to require irrefutable evidence that a property has been professionally decontaminated and sanitised. This ensures they have confidence that the cleaning process complies with environmental and regulatory standards and that the property remains within the terms of the coverage.

Can Extreme Cleaning Remove Strong Odours and Airborne Bacteria?

Absolutely. By using advanced, commercial-grade processes such as disinfectants, air filtration, and industrial fumigation, removing porous materials like contaminated carpets, and using antimicrobial agents, we can provide advanced deodorisation and thorough sanitisation.
