Expert Biohazard & Specialist Cleaning Services

Dealing with the aftermath of a loss is emotionally devastating; attempting to clean the scene personally adds unnecessary distress and significant health risks. When a body is left undiscovered, decomposition releases fluids and gases that permeate porous materials. After death cleaning is a specialist service designed to safely remove these biological hazards and restore the property to a habitable condition.

At Proactive Cleaners, we specialise in after death cleaning for private homeowners, landlords, and social housing providers across the UK.

We align our protocols with the biohazard guidelines set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Unlike standard domestic cleaners, our After Death Cleaning teams wear full protective suits and respiratory gear, using hospital-grade disinfectants to eliminate pathogens like Hepatitis and HIV that standard bleach cannot kill.

Beyond the visible cleanup, effective After Death Cleaning addresses the invisible issues, such as lingering odours and airborne bacteria. Biological matter can seep into sub-floors, carpets, and skirting boards, causing long-term structural damage if not treated by After Death Cleaning experts. By engaging our professional services, you ensure the property is clinically sanitised, legally compliant, and safe for future occupancy, allowing you to focus on grieving without the burden of the cleanup.

What a fantastic company and team. From my initial query that was handled by Rai until the job was finished everyone was so professional, empathetic and all round great to work with. The team came to clear out a lot of household waste and junk that has built up in my property over the last 20 odd years and they tackled this head on (and in the heatwave) with no complaints. They continued to check in to ensure they didnt throw away any important documents and they even found very old photo albums and put them to one side for me. I would recommend proactive to everyone and anyone and I'm even ready to have them come back and fix up my paint in the house. Thank you Proactive 🙂

We recently had Proactive Cleaners in to deep clean the kitchen at The Woolpack pub, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The team was incredibly professional, efficient, and thorough from start to finish. Every corner of the kitchen was spotless by the time they finished, and the attention to detail was outstanding. It’s clear they take great pride in their work, and it really shows. The equipment, walls, floors, and even those hard-to-reach areas were left sparkling clean. The team worked seamlessly together and were respectful of the space throughout the process. I can’t thank them enough for such excellent service. Highly recommended for any commercial cleaning needs — I’ll definitely be using them again!

Happy to share a very positive review for Rai M, who guided me through the quote process over the phone. Rai provided me with all the information I needed. She also followed up later in the day on a payment query to put my mind at ease. Her customer service has been truly excellent. In an age of automation, this is very appreciated.

The cleaner contacted prior to arrival to confirm it was still convenient to call at the agreed time. He explained and showed me what he has done, and once finished asked me to check if I was happy with the cleaning, which I confirmed. He was very efficient and courteous and completed the work in a shorter time than anticipated. I cannot fault this level of service. Thank you very much.

After death cleaning includes scene assessment, removal of visible contamination, detailed cleaning of affected rooms, disinfection of all impacted surfaces and safe biohazard waste disposal. Where needed, we also provide odour removal, air purification, biofogging and restoration to a safe, habitable condition.

We handle unattended deaths, expected deaths at home, traumatic incidents, hoarding situations and properties affected by decomposition or extensive body fluid contamination. Our technicians are trained for complex biohazard scenarios, including blood‑borne pathogens, decomposition fluids and heavily contaminated environments.

We provide a genuine 24/7 emergency response service across the UK and aim to attend as quickly as possible once instructed. Response times depend on location and scene complexity, but we prioritise after death and trauma cases to reduce distress and health risks.

All technicians are fully trained in biohazard cleaning, infection control, PPE and waste handling, working to UK health and safety regulations. We arrive in unmarked or low‑profile vehicles where possible and work with complete discretion, confidentiality and compassion for families, landlords and residents.

We remove and treat all visible contamination, then apply specialist disinfectants, odour‑neutralising treatments and, where required, biofogging and air purification. Soft furnishings, flooring or other porous materials that cannot be safely decontaminated are removed and disposed of as clinical or hazardous waste.

Yes, we can provide method statements, risk assessments, waste transfer notes and completion reports summarising the work carried out. This helps landlords, housing providers and insurers evidence that professional, compliant decontamination has been completed before repairs or reoccupation.
