Specialist cleaning for difficult situations
Biohazardous waste is a type of hazardous waste that carries a risk of infection, so it cannot be cleared like ordinary rubbish. It has to be contained, removed and disposed of by trained people, through licensed facilities, with the right paperwork. The team handles the cleaning and the waste together, so the property is left safe and you have a clear record of how everything was dealt with.
Unattended and undiscovered deaths
Full decontamination, odour treatment and removal of affected furniture, flooring and belongings, carried out quietly and with respect.
Crime scene and post-incident cleaning
Once the police have released the property, the team cleans and makes it safe again, removing all contaminated material.
Blood and bodily fluids
Safe cleaning, containment and disposal of biological contamination in line with biohazard handling regulations.
Hoarding and severe clutter
Patient, non-judgemental clearance and deep cleaning, at a pace the occupant is comfortable with.
Infectious disease decontamination
Hospital-grade sanitisation for homes and business premises to reduce the risk of ongoing contamination.
Odour and chemical residue
Treatment of persistent odours and residue left behind by biological or chemical contamination.
The kind of properties the team is called to
These photos were taken at a Kent property before work began. Severe hoarding had left several rooms unsafe, with contaminated waste throughout. Every room was cleared, the waste was removed for compliant disposal, and the property was deep cleaned and sanitised.

Compliant from start to finish
Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, anyone who produces or holds waste has a duty of care to make sure it is handled and disposed of properly. That responsibility does not disappear because a situation is distressing. The CDDL team classifies biohazardous waste correctly, contains it safely, transports it to licensed facilities and provides the consignment paperwork, so landlords, councils and businesses can show exactly where their waste went.

Frequently asked questions
Does cleaning have to wait for the police?
Yes. After a death or serious incident, cleaning can only begin once the police or coroner have released the property. The team can talk you through what to expect in the meantime and attend as soon as it is released.
Who pays for cleaning after a death in a rented property?
It depends on the tenancy and the circumstances. The cost may fall to the deceased's estate or the landlord, or be covered by insurance. The team provides a clear written quote and full documentation, which helps with any insurance claim.
Is biohazardous waste the same as hazardous waste?
Biohazardous waste is a category of hazardous waste that carries a risk of infection, such as blood, bodily fluids and contaminated materials. It needs specific containment and must be treated at licensed facilities, usually by high-temperature incineration, so it cannot go in general waste or skips.
Can you help with hoarding if someone still lives in the property?
Yes. The team works with the occupant, and with family or support workers where they are involved, at a pace they are comfortable with. Nothing is thrown away without agreement, and items they want to keep are set aside.
How discreet is the team?
Very. The team keeps a low-key presence, never discusses a job with neighbours, and treats the property and everyone involved with respect throughout.
Will I get paperwork for the waste removed?
Yes. The team issues the required duty of care documentation, including hazardous waste consignment notes, so you have a full record of how the waste was handled and where it was disposed of.
