Who cleans up after a suicide?

Who cleans up after a crime scene or suicide?

When a crime such as a murder or a traumatic situation such as a suicide takes place in Telford, Shrewsbury or Wolverhampton it is down to the family to bring the area to a state that is safe for living or sale of the property.

When this happens it can be too much for the family to deal with and often they are left at a loss as to what to do, how to do it and the standard it needs to be completed to.

At Shropshire Expert Cleaners LTD we are experienced in dealing with bodily fluid, waste and emergency cleaning services and have the advanced technology used in hospitals and clinics to perform a very high level of disinfection removing stains, microscopic dangers. We are also able to treat crime scene and suicide events.

When choosing a suitable company there are many things to take into consideration:

• Ensuring they or the the cleaning company use for waste disposal have a valid waste disposal licence, insurance and legal paperwork to transport and dispose of biohazardous materials - otherwise fines and even prison sentences may be in order.

• Ensuring they or the company have an upper tier waste transfer license to ensure they are qualified to carry bio hazardous waste - you can check ours at the bottom of this page.

• Ensuring the company has good references and relevant insurance - we perform infection control services this for Harper Adams University, Shropshire Council and The National Trust to name a few.

• Ensuring the company has experience in knowing how bodily fluids, bacteria and air borne pathogens and germs work, then how to kill them - we performed treatments on over 1,300 COVID positive rooms during the pandemic!

• Ensure the company understands the international disinfectant standard... ask them which LOG disinfectant they use! If they have no idea or use LOG 1,2 or 3 - this is not good enough. We use LOG 5 and LOG 6 - ensure they understand how they are tested as well.

Why not give us a call today and see how we can help you and your family in your time of need.

Support for Families

Nobody plans for this kind of clean. Families are often in shock and may be travelling from elsewhere in the country. The team can work with a key collected from a solicitor or neighbour, so relatives do not need to attend. Calls are handled calmly and privately, vans are unmarked on request, and neighbours are told nothing. Where personal belongings can be saved, they are cleaned and returned. Where they cannot, the family is asked before anything is removed. More guidance is in the post on who cleans up after a death.

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.

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.
