Service area

Extreme cleaning and property recovery

Specialist cleaning for severe accumulation, difficult environments, sanitation needs, or a property that needs recovery.

What this service area means

Extreme cleaning is not simply a very thorough normal clean. The work may involve assessment, specialist equipment, staged activity, sanitation, or recovery planning.

Practical scope

What the work may involve

  • A practical assessment of access, condition, priority areas, and what can safely be attempted.
  • Removal of accumulated material or associated waste where that is within the provider’s scope.
  • Cleaning, sanitation, odour work, or property recovery as separate parts of a plan.
  • Follow-on work or staged visits where the environment cannot be addressed in one session.
