Environmental Agency Registered Specialist Cleaners
Updated: Oct 23
With standard or specialist cleans the department of Health & Safety, Environmental Agency or Police can challenge you as regards to collecting, transporting and disposing of waste.
There have even been instances where van drivers have collected that much McDonald's waste packaging from their lunches over a week in the cab it was deemed as carrying generated waste and they were fined for not having a waste carrier licence!
Due to #climatechange and disposing of waste properly, members of the public are more savvy and regularly ask on our quote visits if we have these licenses.
We are totally against flytipping and can show the journey of waste from every single specialist clean we have performed over the five years up to 2021 with 95% going to #recycling and 5% to landfill or incineration.
Can your #specialist cleaning company do that?
To make life easier for our staff have official licenses and carry handheld identity cards which can be handed to the relevant authority or member of the public for them to vet and verify our upper tier waste transfer, carrier and broker licence.

Why Paperwork Matters
Biohazard jobs often have to be signed off by someone else: an environmental health officer, a housing provider, an insurer or a solicitor. A written treatment record showing what was found, how it was removed, where it was disposed of and how the area was disinfected makes that sign-off straightforward. It also protects landlords if questions are raised later.
What Counts as a Biohazard
A biohazard is anything biological that can harm health. In homes and workplaces that usually means blood and bodily fluids, human or animal waste, used needles, decomposing food and material from a death, an injury or a hoarded property. These cannot be dealt with safely using household products, and they must be disposed of as clinical or hazardous waste. A specialist team removes them, cleans the area, and treats the air and surfaces with NHS-validated technology that has an up to 99.9999% kill rate against over 260 pathogens.
Safe Handling and Disposal
The area is assessed and the hazards recorded.
The team works in full protective suits, gloves and respirators.
Sharps are collected into approved sharps containers.
Contaminated materials are bagged and removed as clinical or hazardous waste under a waste carrier licence.
Surfaces are cleaned, then the room is disinfected.
A written record and photographs are provided.
Who Calls for Biohazard Cleaning
Biohazard work is arranged by landlords, housing associations, councils, insurers, solicitors, police-released properties and families. Typical jobs include after-death and trauma cleaning, needle sweeps in empty properties and stairwells, sewage contamination, and properties left in a poor state by squatters or after an eviction. The post on biohazard cleaners in Telford, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton has more examples.
Landlords, Insurers and Housing Providers
Many after-death cleans are arranged by a landlord, housing association or insurer rather than family. In those cases the paperwork matters as much as the clean. The written treatment record shows what was removed, how it was disposed of and how the property was disinfected, which helps a landlord relet the property and supports an insurance claim. The team can liaise directly with letting agents and solicitors, and can follow on with a house clearance if the property also needs emptying.
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.
Specialist-Only Work
The company does not provide regular, standard, one-off or standard end-of-tenancy cleaning. In Telford and Shrewsbury and across the region it focuses only on specialist jobs: after-death and trauma cleaning, biohazard cleaning, hoarder and house clearance, mould removal and hospital-grade disinfection.
Why Clients Trust the Team
Specialist experience since about 2009, working for councils, schools, landlords, solicitors and families.

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

Emergency lines open 24/7.
Giving Back
Usable items from clearances are passed to charities wherever possible, and since 2022 the company has given just over £30,000 of donations in items and services. During the pandemic it also cleaned NHS workers' homes for free while they were on shift, with staff still paid for that work.
