What is involved in a Deep Cleaning Service?

As professional and specialist cleaners we do things very different to a standard cleaning company.

Once we leave a premises our work is far from over! Did you know after a disinfection or biohazardous clean we often have to spend up to three hours sanitising, disinfecting and fumigating every square inch of the van, equipment and cab?

The walls, floors, every small piece of equipment and even the power cord and wheels of the hoovers need to be disinfected to ensure no trace of virus or bacteria can contaminate the next job.

This picture was from us fumigating the van to ensure there are no insects, mites, spiders or fleas in the van. This was after a recent specialist clean where we needed to purge a property with over 4,000 flies and maggots!

We then recycle the plastic, cardboard, paper and general waste to help the environment.

We do not view ourselves as cleaners, but professionals. When you need professionals, we are the company to call.

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.

Fogging and Electrostatic Spraying

Two methods are used to reach every surface. Dry fogging fills a room with a fine mist that reaches the air, ceilings, behind furniture and other places a cloth cannot. Electrostatic spraying gives the droplets a charge so they wrap around objects and cover all sides of a surface. Used together after a manual clean, they give even coverage across a room. The post on electrostatic spraying and fogging explains the difference.

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.

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

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

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.
