Crime Scene Cleaning
HazRestore provides crime scene cleaning across the UK, 24 hours a day, discreetly and to a clinical standard, with every job fully insured and all hazardous waste removed under licence.
What is crime scene cleaning?
Crime scene cleaning is the decontamination and full cleaning of a property after a serious incident, carried out once the police have released the scene, returning it to a safe and usable state.
After a serious incident we make a property safe and clean again, working around the police and alongside the people affected. It is part of HazRestore's trauma services, carried out by trained, DBS-checked technicians to a clinical standard.
When do you need crime scene cleaning?
You need crime scene cleaning after a violent incident, a serious assault, or any scene involving blood and bodily fluids, where the property cannot be used until it has been decontaminated to a clinical standard.
Whether you are a family member, a landlord, a letting agent, a business or a public body, HazRestore attends discreetly, makes the property safe again, and can deal with insurers on your behalf.
What does HazRestore's crime scene cleaning process involve?
HazRestore follows a four-stage process for crime scene cleaning, from a single call through to verified safe reuse, containing the hazard, decontaminating the area, and removing all waste under licence.

How much does crime scene cleaning cost?
Crime Scene Cleaning typically costs £600 to £3,500. This is an indicative range to confirm at survey, not a fixed price, because the cost depends on the size of the affected area, the level of contamination, access and the volume of waste.
Many of these jobs are covered by household or commercial insurance. HazRestore can speak to your insurer and, in most cases, bill the claim directly so you are not left out of pocket.
