Professional Crime Scene Cleanup & Trauma Restoration Scotland
Total Incident Management, Forensic-Level Decontamination, and the Maundy Tradition of Discretion. Meticulous, safe, and absolute privacy assured.
"In an incredibly challenging situation, the Maundy Clean team handled everything with extreme professionalism and profound discretion. Their technical team was prompt, compassionate, and restored our premises to absolute safety."
Meticulous Care & Discretion in Critical Forensic Restoration
The aftermath of a traumatic event or crime scene is an overwhelming and deeply sensitive situation that requires more than just standard cleaning. It demands Total Incident Management to ensure the property is not only visually restored but biologically decontaminated and safe for return to public or private use. At Maundy Clean, we provide a premium crime scene cleanup service across Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the Central Belt, delivering meticulous technical restoration with absolute discretion and compassion.
While we are the recognised authority in Recurring Home Cleaning for Scotland’s most prestigious residences, we bring that same level of technical intimacy and same-staff consistency to the high-stakes world of forensic hygiene. We act as your strategic partner, decontaminating the scene and returning your home or workplace to a safe sanctuary where you can begin to move forward.
More than just a tidy-up.
A genuine baseline reset for your home, delivered by people who actually know it.
Crime scene cleanup is a specialist discipline that sits at the intersection of public health, criminal-justice process, and human compassion. Once Police Scotland and the forensic team release a scene, the property owner inherits a contaminated, often traumatic environment that cannot be restored by general cleaners. Blood and bodily fluids carry HIV, Hepatitis B and C, MRSA, and other bloodborne pathogens. Forensic powders, chemical reagents (Luminol, ninhydrin, acid violet 17), and fingerprint residues add chemical contamination on top of biological risk. General cleaners are not trained, not equipped, and not insured for this work - and attempting DIY cleanup risks both infection and the destruction of any residual evidence the police may need to re-examine.
Our crime scene remediation protocol follows HSE HSG272 (the Health and Safety Executive's guidance on biological agents in the workplace) and BSi PAS 9960 (the British Standard for biohazard remediation). The six-stage protocol mirrors our biohazard process but adds scene-preservation discipline: we never start until we have written confirmation that Police Scotland have released the scene, and we photograph and document the scene in its released state before any treatment begins. This protects you, us, and any subsequent investigation. We carry £5m public liability, hold a current Upper-tier SEPA waste carrier registration, and our operatives are trained in HSE HSG272, BSi PAS 9960, and COSHH, with annual refresher training and health surveillance.
We work for private homeowners, landlords, housing associations, local authorities, NHS Trusts, Police Scotland liaison officers, funeral directors, and insurers. We've handled 200+ crime scene remediations across Scotland in the last five years, from domestic incidents in Glasgow tenements to commercial property contamination in Edinburgh city-centre premises. Discretion is non-negotiable: unmarked vans, plain uniform (no crime-scene branding), operatives who never discuss the job in public, and where possible side or rear access. We provide a single point of contact for the duration of the job - usually a senior remediation technician - who liaises with insurers, landlords, family liaison officers, and anyone else involved so the family or property owner doesn't have to repeat the story.
Why Maundy Clean is Scotland’s Choice for Technical Trauma Recovery
A trauma scene involves complex biohazards—including blood, bodily fluids, and forensic residues—that carry the risk of airborne pathogens and dangerous viruses. Maundy Clean addresses these challenges through vocational excellence and a commitment to safety.

Every visit, room by room.
A baseline reset of your home's high-traffic zones — refined after the first three cleans to match your priorities.
Police release verification & scene preservation
Before any work starts, we require written confirmation from Police Scotland that the scene has been released. We photograph the scene in its released state, document visible contamination, and flag any items that may have evidential value. We never discard anything without explicit client (and where relevant, police) authorisation. This stage protects the integrity of any future investigation and gives you a defensible chain of documentation.
Risk assessment, method statement & containment
Site-specific risk assessment identifies biohazard type (blood, bodily fluids, tissue, forensic chemicals), scope (area, surface type, contamination level), and risk profile. A written Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS) is produced and signed off before any operative enters the scene. Containment: area sealed with 6-mil polythene sheeting and tape, negative-pressure HEPA extraction where cross-contamination risk is high, exclusion zone marked with biohazard signage, HVAC isolated if contamination risk extends to ductwork.
Gross contamination removal
Physical removal of all visible biological contamination. Sharps (needles, scalpels, broken glass with biological contamination) picked up with tongs and placed in UN-approved sharps containers. Blood and bodily fluids absorbed with specialist biohazard granules and placed in biohazard bags (UN3291) for incineration. Contaminated porous materials (carpet, underlay, fabric, plasterboard, insulation that cannot be disinfected) bagged for incineration. Forensic chemical residues neutralised per substance-specific protocol. All waste double-bagged, sealed, labelled per UN requirement.
EN 14476 virucidal disinfection
EN 14476 virucidal chemistry applied to all surfaces by sprayer or fogger. Proven effective against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, bacteria, fungi, and bloodborne pathogens including HIV, Hepatitis B/C, MRSA, Norovirus, and Coronavirus. Contact time per manufacturer (typically 5-15 minutes). Double application in high-risk zones (visible contamination areas, splash zones, adjacent soft furnishings). Porous surfaces (wood, unsealed concrete, plaster) treated twice. HVAC ductwork fogged if contamination risk. Final wipe-down with disinfectant-soaked microfibre cloths, colour-coded per room to prevent cross-contamination.
ATP swab verification
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) swab test on key surfaces post-clean. ATP measures organic residue - pass threshold <30 RLU (relative light units) for crime scene zones. Swabs taken from highest-risk areas (visible contamination zones, splash zones, adjacent high-touch surfaces, grout lines, joints). Results in 60 seconds via handheld luminometer. Any swab above threshold triggers re-clean and re-swab. Full verification pack: ATP swab results, pre- and post-clean surface photos, chemical application log, waste consignment notes. Issued within 24 hours of completion.
Licensed biohazard waste consignment & documentation pack
Biohazard waste consigned to a licensed carrier under the Hazardous Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2005. Consignment note issued per uplift - kept on file for 3 years per SEPA requirement. Waste tracked from site to carrier to incineration facility, with certificate of destruction provided. Full documentation pack issued to client: risk assessment, RAMS, chemical application log, ATP swab results, pre- and post-clean photos, waste consignment notes, certificate of destruction, £5m public liability certificate, operative training records. Suitable for insurer claims, landlord hand-back, and regulatory audit.
Add-ons available on any visit: oven cleaning, fridge clean-out, inside cabinets, laundry folding, ironing, pet area sanitisation, window interiors, and more — all bookable from your client portal.

Emergency call & police release verification
Trained operator takes initial details - scene type, location, whether police have released, urgency, access arrangements. We require written confirmation of police release before dispatching operatives; if not yet released, we book a mobilisation slot and stay on standby. Initial risk assessment over the phone. Single point of contact assigned - usually a senior remediation technician who will be your liaison throughout.
Mobilisation, scene documentation & containment
Team mobilised - typically 60-90 minute response in the central belt, 2-3 hours in remote areas. On arrival: scene photographed in released state, site-specific risk assessment, biohazard type confirmed, scope confirmed. Exclusion zone set up with polythene sheeting and biohazard signage. Negative-pressure HEPA extraction deployed if cross-contamination risk is high. H&S briefing for all operatives. RAMS signed off before work starts. Client briefing on scope, timeline, and what we'll dispose of.
Gross removal, disinfection & ATP verification
Operatives in full RPE/PPE (FFP3 respirator, full-face mask, Type 5/6 coverall, double nitrile gloves, gumboots). Sharps in UN-approved containers, biological waste in biohazard bags (UN3291), contaminated porous materials bagged for incineration. Forensic chemical residues neutralised. EN 14476 virucidal chemistry applied to all surfaces by sprayer or fogger, double application in high-risk zones. ATP swab verification on key surfaces - pass threshold <30 RLU. Any swab above threshold triggers re-clean and re-swab.

HSE HSG272 & BSi PAS 9960 compliant
Our crime scene remediation protocol follows HSE HSG272 (biological agents in the workplace) and BSi PAS 9960 (biohazard remediation). Six-stage protocol: scene release verification, risk assessment & containment, gross removal, EN 14476 disinfection, ATP verification, licensed waste consignment. Every stage documented. Operatives trained and annually refreshed. We work for local authorities, housing associations, NHS Trusts, and Police Scotland liaison officers - all of whom require HSE HSG272 compliance.
EN 14476 virucidal - bloodborne pathogens killed
EN 14476 virucidal chemistry proven effective against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, bacteria, fungi, bloodborne pathogens including HIV, Hepatitis B/C, MRSA, Norovirus, Influenza, and Coronavirus. Chemistry applied by sprayer or fogger for full coverage. Contact time per manufacturer (typically 5-15 minutes). Double application in high-risk zones. Porous surfaces treated twice. Soft furnishings that cannot be disinfected removed for incineration. The chemistry is the defence - and we use the right chemistry for the right biohazard.
ATP swab verification - proof of clean
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) swab test on key surfaces post-clean. ATP measures organic residue - pass threshold <30 RLU for crime scene zones. Results in 60 seconds via handheld luminometer. Any swab above threshold triggers re-clean and re-swab. Documentation: ATP swab results, surface photos pre- and post-clean, chemical application log, waste consignment notes. Verification pack provided within 24 hours. We don't just say it's clean - we prove it, with audit-ready documentation for insurers, landlords, and regulators.
Discreet, unmarked, single point of contact
Unmarked vans - no crime-scene branding, no attention. Operatives in plain uniform. Side or rear access where possible. We never discuss the job in public, on social media, or with neighbours. A single senior remediation technician is your point of contact from first call to documentation handover - they liaise with insurers, landlords, family liaison officers, and anyone else so you don't have to repeat the story. Discretion is part of our protocol, not an add-on.
24/7 response across Scotland
Crime scenes don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. 24/7 emergency response: 60-90 minute mobilisation in the central belt (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk, Livingston), 2-3 hours in remote and rural areas (Highlands, Borders, Argyll, Islands). Standby mode while awaiting police release. We cover all 32 Scottish local authority areas. When you call at 3am on a Sunday, you speak to a trained operator - not a call centre, not a voicemail.

Loved by Scottish households.
“After what happened, I couldn't face going back into the house. Maundy Clean's technician called me within an hour of the police releasing the scene, talked me through everything, and dealt directly with my insurer. The van was unmarked. The crew were respectful and quiet. When they said it was done, the house smelled clean - not chemically, just clean. I will never forget what they did for me that week.”
“Over a 14-year career I referred maybe 30 families to Maundy Clean. Never once had a complaint. They wait for our release, they preserve the scene documentation we need, they treat families with respect, and their paperwork is bulletproof for the insurer. I wouldn't recommend anyone else in Scotland for this work.”
“Maundy Clean is on our approved panel for trauma and crime scene remediation. Their documentation pack is the most thorough of any contractor we use - ATP swabs, chemical logs, waste consignment notes, photos, certificates. We can settle claims within days rather than weeks because the paperwork is audit-ready on day one. They also liaise directly with the policyholder, which reduces our handling costs.”
