Crime Scene Cleaning FAQs
The basics
Why are crime scenes dangerous?
You should not enter an area where you believe a crime may have taken place. Not only could this lead to contamination of a crime scene and evidence, but you could be putting yourself at risk of being implicated in the crime.
There are also biohazards present that you will not be able to identify, such as bloodborne pathogens and various viruses lingering on contaminated surfaces. By entering a crime scene, you could put yourself at risk of contracting:
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- HIV
Is your team trained to deal with this area of work?
All our technicians undergo an extensive accredited training programme provided by Ultima Environmental — previously the National Academy of Crime Scene Cleaners (NACSC). These courses tackle all aspects of trauma cleaning including:
- Handling biohazards
- Fogging and misting
- Methods of decontamination
- PPE training
- Health & Safety guidelines
- Liasing with proper authorities
We are also accredited with:
What do I do if I cannot get access to the property?
If you do not have access to the property, you must contact the landlord or owner of the site to gain their permission before any work can be completed. This ensures that we can complete our work without breaking any laws and conduct the cleaning process respectfully.
How will I know the area is completely decontaminated?
We rely on our ICE SHIELD® technology, a specialised system that merges electrostatic technology with a long-lasting solution. Our approach is distinctive and remarkably efficient, making it an ideal delivery system for various settings: commercial, industrial, and domestic.

Moreover, our solution is entirely non-toxic for humans and environmentally friendly. We also provide a certificate of guarantee upon completion.

What is crime scene cleaning?
Crime scene cleaning refers to the decontamination and biohazard removal of scenes where a crime has taken place. This includes cleaning incidents following assaults, homicides, and suicides. These areas are cleaned with the use of specialist products, industrial-grade agents, and trained crime scene cleaners using them.
The job of a crime scene cleaner is extremely difficult, requiring a course qualification, a strong stomach, and an empathetic mindset. Some of the scenes our technicians tackle are upsetting to witness and can be dangerous to interact with.
Crime scenes are full of dangerous pathogens you cannot see, so a surface clean will not make the affected area safe again. Without a professional crime scene clean-up service, these pathogens can live and evolve on any surface they come into contact with.
Our qualified crime scene clean-up process
Our service prioritises safety for our customers and our technicians. We always wear PPE (personal protective equipment) as well as respirators while on site to protect ourselves and decrease the possibility of cross-contamination, we also:
- Contain the affected areas to avoid cross-contamination
- Revive all traces of blood and biological materials
- Disinfect and test to confirm that all affected areas are free of pathogens
Industry-leading cleaning products are utilised to effectively clean and decontaminate the crime scene, leaving it in a safe and secure condition. We are very mindful of the emotional trauma that comes with crime scene cleaning, so we will arrive in discreetly marked vehicles to protect your confidentiality and privacy.
With our state-of-the-art technology and equipment, our technicians can thoroughly and diligently eliminate all risks. Our crime scene cleaning service ensures that when the service is complete, we will issue a decontamination certificate for your records.
Our technicians don’t just provide a high-quality clean; we believe our customers should be treated with dignity and respect, especially in very sensitive situations. If you feel that you have been impacted by traumatic scenes or incidents, we recommend that you seek help here.
What training do our technicians have?
All our technicians undergo an extensive accredited training programme provided by Ultima Environmental — previously the National Association of Crime Scene Cleaners (NACSC). They have the knowledge and experience to provide considerate, thorough services for these types of emergency needs.
We make sure that the entire area is decontaminated, disinfected, and cleaned to the highest standards. Our professional cleaners work very closely with the medical examiners, local police, and other agencies to make sure the people involved receive the appropriate support they need.
We specialise in maintaining a swift and efficient crime scene cleaning service within the UK with the following emergencies:
- Crime scene cleaning
- Suicide
- Road traffic accidents
- Trauma cleaning
- Unattended deaths
- Exposure to illegal substances
What are the risks of crime scene cleaning?
Crime scenes may pose health risks to the public if not dealt with promptly and professionally. Our specialist technicians can safely and appropriately take care of such dangers without putting others at risk. They can contain several hazards including:
- Bodily fluids
- Syringes
- Sharp objects
- Hazardous materials
- Exposure to illegal and sensitive information
If you have a small cut on your hand and touch affected objects or surfaces, you could become infected by the bacteria and viruses blood may contain, like HIV, or Hepatitis B and C.
You should not risk your health by attempting to clean a crime scene yourself. Contact our experienced technicians to ensure that all the blood, bodily fluids, contaminated materials and other biohazards will be fully removed from the scene.
