Many offices have a cleaner who empties the bins and wipes the desks. That is fine day to day. It is not designed for an outbreak. When several staff go down with flu, Covid or a sickness bug, the business needs a treatment that deals with what cannot be seen.


Signs You Need a Specialist Treatment


  1. Several staff off with the same illness within a few days.

  2. A confirmed case in a team that shares desks, kitchens or meeting rooms.

  3. Vulnerable staff or visitors, such as people with health conditions.

  4. A bodily fluid incident, such as someone being sick at work.


What Happens


The team works out of hours. Touch points are cleaned first, then the air and every surface are treated with NHS-validated technology that has an up to 99.9999% kill rate against over 260 pathogens. The product is non-toxic, so the office can be used again once ventilated. A written treatment record is supplied for the business's files.


Treatments That Fit Around You


Most disinfection jobs are booked outside working hours, so schools, offices and care settings can reopen as normal. The team agrees access with the site manager, works through the building in zones, and leaves rooms ventilated. Every treatment ends with a written record of the rooms covered and the method used, which can be shared with public health, environmental health or an insurer. The emergency lines are open 24/7 for urgent outbreaks.


Cleaning What You Cannot See


A standard clean removes dirt you can see. Viruses, bacteria and mould spores are invisible, and they can survive on surfaces and in the air after a room looks spotless. Specialist disinfection tackles both. Visible contamination is removed first, then the air and surfaces are treated with NHS-validated technology that has an up to 99.9999% kill rate against over 260 pathogens. The product is non-toxic and leaves no harmful residue, so rooms can be used again once they have been ventilated. The post on what disinfection fogging is explains the method.


Understanding Kill Rates


Disinfectants are graded on a log scale. A 99.9% product is log 3, which leaves 1 in 1,000 organisms alive. Log 4 is 99.99% and log 5 is 99.999%. The highest level, log 6, is 99.9999%, leaving only 1 in 1,000,000. Most household and supermarket products sit at the bottom of that scale. Specialist disinfection works at up to log 6, which matters wherever vulnerable people, children, patients or food are involved.


Where Specialist Disinfection Is Used


  1. Schools, nurseries and colleges after an outbreak of sickness or flu.

  2. Care homes and clinical settings dealing with norovirus or other infections.

  3. Homes after a death, a serious illness or a hoarder clearance.

  4. Offices and public buildings after a bodily fluid incident.

  5. Properties affected by sewage, flooding or pest infestations.


Over 90 schools have been treated across Birmingham, Dudley, Wolverhampton, Telford and Shrewsbury, with 3,000+ rooms decontaminated. More detail is on the disinfection fogging page.


Working Across Shropshire and the West Midlands


From its base in Madeley, Telford, the team covers Telford and Wrekin, Shrewsbury and the Shropshire market towns, including Newport, Shifnal, Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock, Ludlow, Market Drayton, Whitchurch, Wem and Oswestry. It also works across Wolverhampton, Dudley and the wider West Midlands. Rural jobs are planned around access, parking and distance, so a village property gets the same response as a town-centre flat.


A Specialist Company, Not a General Cleaner


Shropshire Expert Cleaners LTD is a specialist company. It does not offer regular, standard, one-off or standard end-of-tenancy cleaning. Its work in Telford and Shrewsbury and the surrounding area covers after-death and trauma cleaning, hoarder and house clearance, mould removal, biohazard cleaning and hospital-grade disinfection.


Why Clients Trust the Team


  1. Specialist experience since about 2009, working for councils, schools, landlords, solicitors and families.

  2. NHS-validated disinfection technology with an up to 99.9999% kill rate against over 260 pathogens.

  3. Over 90 schools treated across Birmingham, Dudley, Wolverhampton, Telford and Shrewsbury, with 3,000+ rooms decontaminated.

  4. £10m public liability insurance.

  5. Emergency lines open 24/7.


Giving Back


Since 2022 the company has given just over £30,000 of donations in items and services. During Covid the team cleaned frontline NHS workers' homes free of charge while they were at work, leaving chocolates and a card to say thank you, and still paid its own staff for every one of those jobs.
