The work covers waste removal, biohazard handling, sanitisation, odour treatment and restoration of the property to a lettable state. ### Who it's for Landlords and managing agents recovering properties after eviction proceedings, executors handling abandoned estates, commercial property owners after illegal occupation, and anyone facing a property in significantly worse condition than a normal end-of-tenancy clean can handle. ### When to book Once the property is legally vacated and access is secured. We typically respond within days of being instructed and can scope the work in the same visit. Speed matters — properties left after squatter occupation deteriorate further every week. ### Why professional matters Properties recovered from unauthorised occupation often contain biohazards (drug paraphernalia, sharps, biological waste, vermin), structural damage, and severe contamination that ordinary cleaning isn't equipped to handle. Specialist teams with the right PPE, products and disposal capability are needed both for safety and for proper restoration. The cost of getting it wrong ## What delay actually costs Every week a recovered property sits untreated, the situation gets worse — damp spreads, vermin establish, copper and fittings get stripped if access isn't secured, and odours bond more deeply into structural materials. Insurance renewal becomes complicated. Re-letting becomes impossible. The right move is to get specialist help on site within days of recovery, scope the work, and start. ### Common mistakes we see - !Sending a domestic cleaner who isn't equipped for the biohazards and refuses on arrival - !Skip-and-dump clearance with no sorting, losing any salvageable fittings or evidence - !No PPE, leading to staff sickness and insurance issues - !Painting and re-flooring without addressing the source contamination first - !Disposing of waste informally and incurring significant fly-tipping liability Our process ## A clear, repeatable system — start to guarantee. - 01 ### Rapid site assessment Same-week site visit. Risk assessment for biohazards, sharps, structural issues and infestations. - 02 ### Plan & quote Phased plan covering clearance, sanitisation, deep clean and (where needed) referrals for repairs and pest control. - 03 ### Clearance & disposal Removal of waste and unsalvageable contents under proper waste-carrier licences.

The benefits ## What you actually get when you book us. ### Fast response Same-week site visits and rapid mobilisation — the property doesn't sit deteriorating. ### Biohazard-equipped Proper PPE, sharps handling, biocidal sanitisation. Not a normal end-of-tenancy job. ### Discreet operation Unmarked vehicles and plain uniforms — no advertising the situation to neighbours. ### Licensed disposal Waste handled correctly under our carrier licences, removing fly-tipping risk to you. ### End-to-end restoration Clearance, cleaning and trade referrals managed from a single contact. ### Documentation Photographs and disposal certificates supplied for insurance and compliance use. In detail ## Property recovery cleaning — what's involved Recovered properties vary enormously in condition. The work below covers the most common scenarios across Bristol property recovery. ### Securing the working environment Before clearance starts, we make sure the property is safe to work in — basic ventilation, lighting where needed, and removal of immediate sharps or trip hazards. Where mains services are unsafe (tampered wiring, gas concerns), we flag for trades before deeper work continues. ### Clearance with PPE Mixed waste, drug paraphernalia, sharps, biological waste and unidentified containers are handled with appropriate PPE — gloves, masks, eye protection and protective clothing. Sharps go into rigid containers; biohazards into separate sealed bags for licensed disposal. ### Carpets, soft furnishings and porous materials Heavily contaminated carpets, underlay, curtains and upholstery are removed rather than cleaned — once organic contamination has bonded into porous materials, treatment isn't economic. Subfloors are then treated before new flooring goes down. ### Sanitisation of hard surfaces Walls, floors, kitchens, bathrooms and fittings are cleaned with biocidal products at appropriate dwell times. Kitchens often need more aggressive degreasing than a standard end-of-tenancy clean; bathrooms often need full descaler treatment. ### Odour treatment Source treatment first (removal of contaminated materials), then sealing primer where required, then air treatment (ozone, hydroxyl or HEPA scrubbing) to deal with residual airborne contaminants. The property should not smell of the previous occupation when we hand it back. ### Co-ordinating with related trades Recovered properties usually need decoration, sometimes plastering, occasionally electrics. We can refer or co-ordinate so the project moves as a single piece of work — useful when the goal is to get the property re-let quickly. FAQs ## Straight answers, no small print. Still unsure?
