What is after-death cleaning?
After-death or unattended death cleaning is the remediation of a property where a person has died and been undiscovered for a period. Decomposition releases fluids and gases that soak into flooring, subfloor and plaster and carry odour throughout the building.
Common after-death cleaning situations we handle
Unattended death at home
A death discovered days or weeks later, with decomposition present.
Decomposition fluid damage
Fluids that have soaked into carpet, floorboards or through to the ceiling below.
Insect and pest activity
Fly, larvae and beetle infestations that follow decomposition.
Probate and estate clearance
Executors needing a property safe and saleable after a death.
Landlord reinstatement
Rental properties that must be safely returned to lettable condition.
Odour in neighbouring flats
Communal buildings where smell has spread beyond the affected unit.
