When can you attend a crime scene?
After the scene has been released by
Nottinghamshire Police and all forensic and medical examinations are complete. We do not attend while authorities are still on site. Once the scene is released, we can usually be there inside the hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Do you handle body removal?
No. Body removal is handled by Nottinghamshire Police, coroner's officers, and funeral directors — that is their responsibility, not ours. Our crime scene cleaning Nottingham service begins after the scene has been formally released and the deceased has been moved. We take it from there.
Who typically calls you for crime scene cleaning?
Families of those affected, landlords and letting agents, Nottinghamshire Police via family liaison officers, funeral directors, solicitors handling probate, housing associations, and commercial property owners. Many families nominate an agent (a trusted friend or relative) to handle the instruction on their behalf — we're fully used to working this way.
What does ATP-verified cleaning mean?
We use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) swab testing after cleaning to scientifically verify that biohazard contamination has been fully removed. ATP is present in all biological material — if the swab reads clean, the surface is clean. It is the gold standard for verifying crime scene decontamination and is included on every ISOS crime scene cleaning Nottingham job as standard.
Will your attendance be discreet?
Yes. Unmarked vehicles by default. Plain workwear until inside the property. No logos, no signage, no branding visible from the street. Our team arrives and departs like any other visitor. In crime scene cleaning Nottingham work, discretion is not an add-on — it is the baseline.
Is crime scene cleaning covered by insurance?
In many cases yes. Home and contents insurance policies often include trauma and biohazard decontamination cover. We provide fully itemised invoices, scope-of-works documentation, ATP test certificates, and chain-of-custody waste records to support any insurance claim. We can also liaise with your insurer directly.
How much does crime scene cleaning cost in Nottingham?
Every crime scene cleaning Nottingham job is quoted bespoke based on scene severity, surface area, structural impact, disposal volume and access. We provide a firm written quote before any work begins — no opportunistic pricing during distress. Insurance-backed claims are invoiced directly to the insurer at standard industry rates.
Are your team qualified to work at crime scenes?
Yes. Our technicians are trained in forensic-grade decontamination, work to HSE biohazard cleaning guidance, operate under COSHH assessments, and are Environment Agency licensed waste carriers. Full PPE, BBV (blood-borne virus) vaccination protocols, and documented chain of custody on every job. See also our
