After Death Clearances
After-Death & Unattended Death Clearance Services
Discreet specialist support following expected and unexpected after-death situations, combining decontamination, clearance of affected contents and compliant hazardous waste handling — delivered with professionalism, care and sensitivity.
Specialist Support
Seventeen-plus years of sensitive, high-risk work across Wolverhampton, Shropshire and the West Midlands
Working with Sanondaf Shropshire and Shropshire Expert Cleaners LTD, we deliver specialist after-death, trauma and biohazard clearance across Wolverhampton, Telford, Shrewsbury, Stafford and surrounding areas. With 17+ years of specialist clearance and decontamination experience, we provide discreet, professional support for families, landlords and organisations requiring specialist intervention.
Treatment uses hospital-grade dry fogging and electrostatic technology that kills up to 99.9999% of pathogens and is safe for electronics and soft furnishings, covering trauma scenes, blood and bodily fluid contamination, infectious risk situations and other environments requiring specialist decontamination, compliant waste handling and hygienic restoration.
Where the property also needs emptying, we combine decontamination with a full house clearance so the family deals with one team, one quotation and one point of contact.
Assessment & written quote
A free assessment visit, or a remote assessment for single-room works using photos and video. The written quote reflects contamination level, waste volume, access and specialist treatment required. We agree a keep list for important documents, keys, mobile phones, photo albums and other items families need.
Rapid response teams
Specialist teams prepared for sensitive, high-risk situations requiring urgent attendance, arriving with the appropriate grade of PPE, disinfection systems and containment processes.
Hazardous waste removal
Contaminated bedding, mattresses, clothing, furnishings and carpets removed using compliant handling. Waste is segregated, transported and disposed of lawfully with supporting legal documentation.
After-death disinfection
Treatment of affected rooms, contaminated surfaces, soft furnishings and associated materials following expected, attended and unattended deaths — tailored to the risk present.
Post-death clearance
Removal of affected contents, waste and unwanted items to prepare the property for inspection, reinstatement, sale, or return to family or landlord. Important documents, keys, medals and keepsakes are set aside as standard.
Odour & structural checks
Subfloor and structural absorption is assessed rather than assumed, with odour treatment, sealing and reinstatement advice where fluids have penetrated beyond surface level.
Is It A Specialist Case?
Signs the property needs more than a standard clearance
- The death was unattended or discovered after a period of time
- Visible staining to flooring, mattresses or upholstery
- Persistent odour, insect activity or fluid ingress into subfloor
- Trauma, suicide or a crime scene released back to the family
- Clinical, nursing or sharps waste accumulated in the property
- Long-term illness with incontinence or bedbound care
If the death occurred in hospital or a care setting, or was expected and attended at home with no contamination, a standard bereavement clearance is usually all that is needed. If any of the signs opposite apply, the property needs specialist handling: different PPE, a different waste route, and a different insurance position.
We will tell you honestly which service the property needs at the assessment stage — not afterwards, and not once the work has started.

Single-Item Removals
Contaminated carpets and mattresses removed on their own
Not every situation needs a full clearance. Where a trauma event, accident or infection control action has affected one carpet or one bed, we offer carpet and underlay uplifting and mattress removal as standalone services. Both include Sanondaf fogging and electrostatic spray high-spectrum disinfection as standard, quarantined transport, incineration with heat treatment and the accompanying DOC and consignment notes. Whole carpet removal starts from £200, a single mattress from £250 and a double from £400.
