The discovery of an unattended death is an incredibly distressing experience. During such a difficult time, families, landlords, housing providers and property managers are often left facing the responsibility of arranging specialist cleaning before a property can be safely occupied again.
Our experienced team is trained to safely clean, decontaminate and restore affected areas, allowing you to focus on what matters most while we take care of the practical aspects with dignity, professionalism and respect.
What is an Unattended Death?
An unattended death occurs when someone passes away and their death is not discovered immediately. Depending on how much time has passed, contamination and persistent odours can develop.
Cleaning after an unattended death is not the same as domestic cleaning. It requires specialist training, professional equipment and appropriate decontamination procedures to ensure the property is safe for future occupants.
Following an unattended death, contamination may not always be visible, and can pose health risks if not professionally treated.

We may be able to offer further support after an unattended death cleanup, such as taking items to storage, assistance with a house sale, and support if the property is further away. When we’re contacted, we can discuss your individual requirements and tailor our support to suit your circumstances.
Is specialist cleaning always required?
If an unattended death has resulted in biological contamination or decomposition, specialist biohazard cleaning is strongly recommended. As it is illegal to dispose of biohazard waste in regular household bins, professional decontamination ensures the property is safe for anyone entering or occupying it.
