Dave and Miguel, cracking guys!Posted on Chelsea BonnickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words cannot describe how happy I am with the service provided. From the very first interaction with Kash to the end, I couldn’t have asked for more. Kash was so compassionate and helpful and despite it being a Sunday night, I had everything booked in for the very next morning. Steve and Dave were the team at my property and they were so professional, discreet yet extremely personable, keeping me informed throughout and going above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I’m so thankful for everything they did for me, it is phenomenal! Couldn’t have asked for a better service or better people. Thank you!Posted on Eleanor ParkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend the team at Ideal Response enough! Kash was lovely and so helpful with getting a clean booked promptly, and Dan and Sam did a phenomenal job of cleaning the flat out and helping to get everything organised. Dan went out of his way to keep me updated through the whole process, and was always reassuring. The whole team have been nothing but professional and compassionate, and truly transformed the space. Forever grateful for their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone!Posted on Tania LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve and Dan were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They came out quickly, assessed the damage, and got straight to work installing dehumidifiers and lifting the flooring to help dry my house out. They explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout, and were so respectful of my home. Their professionalism, efficiency, and friendly attitude made a really stressful situation so much easier to deal with. You can tell they genuinely care about doing a proper job. I’m so grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone needing help with water damage or drying services. Thanks again, Steve and Dan — you were amazing! 🙌Posted on Barry John RichardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Steve and Dave were excellent from start to finish, from phoning ahead of time to let me know when they would be arriving..To keeping me informed about each stage of the process. They were good at communicating and were very reassuring and they did an excellent job.Posted on pauline ridleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team were amazing! Steve and Dave did a fantastic job of clearing my relative’s house after he died and we discovered he’d been a serial hoarder. They were really professional but also understanding and supportive which made a real difference to an otherwise very distressing situation. And thanks also to Kash in the office for organising the visit so promptly. I’ve been telling all my friends about Ideal Response and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.Posted on Nikhil ChavdaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve was fantastic, would use again !Posted on Peter DryburghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Earlier this year we had an extensive fire in the upper floor of our house which our insurance company refused to cover. We contacted Ideal Response for help as we didn’t know where to start. Javid and Tahlia came to the house and saw the extent of the damage and as soon as we had a skip to put the debris in, their workforce came and helped us remove it. We could then see a light at the end of the tunnel, as before that we didn’t know what to do. They also recommended tradesmen to help us restore our home, to which we have now returned. Thank you Javid and Tahlia and all at Ideal Response for your assistance, we couldn’t have done it without your help.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Trauma cleaning services FAQs
What is included in trauma cleaning services?
Trauma cleaning involves the safe removal of biohazards such as blood, bodily fluids, and contaminated items, followed by deep cleaning and decontamination of all affected areas. This may also include odour neutralisation, air purification, and the safe disposal of hazardous waste in line with UK legislation. At Ideal Response, our trauma cleaners create a tailored plan for every incident, ensuring the property is not only clean but fully sanitised and legally compliant.
How quickly can trauma cleaners respond?
Our emergency trauma cleaning services are available 24/7, and we can usually be on-site within 2–4 hours of your call (depending on location). This rapid response is critical because biohazards can spread infection if left untreated. By acting quickly, our trauma cleaners reduce health risks, contain contamination, and minimise disruption to your home, business, or organisation.
How much does trauma cleaning cost in the UK?
The cost of trauma cleaning depends on several factors, including the type of incident, the level of contamination, and the size of the affected property. Prices can range from a few hundred pounds for small-scale incidents to more for complex biohazard cleaning. At Ideal Response, we provide a free, no-obligation trauma cleaning quote, so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Is trauma cleaning covered by insurance?
In many cases, trauma cleaning services in the UK are covered by property or landlord insurance. Coverage often includes crime scene cleaning, unattended death cleaning, and biohazard removal. Our team can liaise directly with your insurer, providing the documentation and evidence required to support your claim, making the process less stressful for you.
Do trauma cleaners work discreetly?
Yes. At Ideal Response, we understand the sensitive nature of trauma incidents. Our teams operate with complete discretion, using unbranded vehicles whenever possible and working respectfully to protect your privacy. Whether cleaning a home, rental property, or workplace, our trauma cleaners ensure the service is delivered quietly, efficiently, and with compassion.
Why is professional trauma cleaning important?
Trauma cleaning is not only emotionally distressing but also poses serious health risks due to potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens, bacteria, and viruses. Attempting to clean without specialist training and equipment is unsafe. Professional trauma cleaners use medical-grade disinfectants, PPE, and strict protocols to ensure complete decontamination, protecting occupants and making the property safe to use again.
What qualifications do your trauma cleaners have?
Our trauma cleaners are fully trained in biohazard removal, infection control, hazardous waste handling, and COSHH compliance. They follow UK health and safety legislation and undergo regular refresher training to stay up to date with best practices. This ensures that every trauma cleaning service we deliver meets the highest standards of safety, hygiene, and professionalism.
What types of trauma incidents do you clean?
We provide trauma cleaning for a wide range of incidents, including crime scenes, suicides, accidents, assaults, and unattended deaths. Our services also cover biohazard cleaning for vehicles, commercial properties, and public spaces. Each type of trauma requires a different approach, and our experienced trauma cleaners tailor their methods to restore the environment to a safe and compliant condition.
How do you dispose of biohazard waste?
All hazardous waste from trauma cleaning is handled according to the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005. Contaminated items are safely packaged, labelled, and transported by licensed carriers to authorised UK disposal facilities. This ensures full legal compliance and prevents further environmental or public health risks. Ideal Response provides documentation for every disposal, which can also support insurance and regulatory requirements.
Which areas do you cover for trauma cleaning services?
We provide trauma cleaning services throughout the UK, with rapid response teams operating in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Bristol, and surrounding regions.
