Crime Scene Cleaning in County Durham
Crime scene cleaning is very different from everyday cleaning. Blood, bodily fluids and other biohazards can carry a real infection risk, so they have to be removed, decontaminated and disposed of properly. Our team in County Durham cleans and sanitises the affected areas, treats lingering odours, and takes the waste away under our Environment Agency Upper-Tier Waste Carrier Licence (CBDU6228708).
We also help families, landlords, letting agents and businesses after an unattended death or a traumatic incident. We know these are distressing times, so we work respectfully, discreetly and without judgement. Read more about our crime scene cleanup service.

Our Specialist Services in County Durham
Local Knowledge: County Durham
County Durham covers a lot of ground for us, from the UNESCO World Heritage city of Durham itself — home to Durham University and its cathedral — out to former coal-mining towns like Peterlee, Newton Aycliffe, Bishop Auckland, and Consett. Much of the older housing stock in the ex-mining towns is solidly built terraced property, which often needs specific access planning for hoarder and biohazard jobs where properties share party walls and narrow back lanes. (Approx. 16 miles from our Hartlepool base, as the crow flies.)
County Durham FAQs
Do you work in Durham City itself, near the university and cathedral?
Yes, Durham City is included in our County Durham coverage, alongside Peterlee, Newton Aycliffe, Bishop Auckland, Consett, and Chester-le-Street.
Do you handle jobs in the older ex-mining terraces around Peterlee and Bishop Auckland?
Yes, this is a regular part of our County Durham work, and we're used to the shared-access and narrow-lane challenges that come with that housing stock.
How far is County Durham from your Hartlepool base?
Most of County Durham is within around 16 miles of Hartlepool, comfortably inside our standard 1-hour response target.
What does crime scene cleaning in County Durham involve?
