Bio-Shield provides professional rodent waste and contamination clean-up services across Edinburgh and surrounding areas. This service is designed for properties affected by rat or mouse activity where droppings, urine, nesting materials, or contaminated debris present a risk to health and safety and require specialist remediation.
We work with landlords, letting agents, housing providers, local authorities, and commercial clients to safely remove contamination and restore affected areas to a hygienic and compliant condition.
Rodent infestations can cause widespread contamination, particularly in lofts, roof voids, basements, service risers, plant rooms, and vacant properties. Droppings, urine, nesting materials, parasites, and contaminated insulation can all pose health risks if not handled correctly.
Standard cleaning methods are not suitable in these situations. Controlled removal, appropriate PPE, and professional disinfection are required to ensure contaminated areas are made safe and do not present an ongoing risk.
Rodent waste and contamination clean-up is commonly required:
Following a resolved or historic rat or mouse infestation
Where long-term rodent activity has occurred
In lofts, voids, basements, or service areas
Where odours, hygiene issues, or health concerns have been identified
Each property is assessed individually to determine the extent of contamination and the most appropriate remediation approach.
Edinburgh includes a wide mix of property types, including historic tenement buildings, city-centre flats, HMOs, commercial premises, and mixed-use developments. Rodent contamination in these environments can spread through shared voids, drainage routes, and adjoining structures.
Our technicians are experienced in working within dense urban settings and understand the access, layout, and containment challenges commonly found in city properties.
Clients contact us with details of the issue requiring attention. Where possible, we request images or videos of the affected areas to allow an initial assessment.
Based on the information provided, we issue a clear written quotation outlining the scope of works, expected timescales, and any waste handling or disposal requirements. For extensive or higher-risk contamination, an on-site survey may be required before work begins.
Works typically include the controlled removal of contaminated materials, safe handling and removal of waste, and professional disinfection using approved products.
All rodent contamination clean-up work is carried out by trained technicians using appropriate PPE and specialist equipment.
Contaminated materials are removed, transported, and disposed of responsibly using licensed waste carriers and approved disposal routes, in accordance with environmental and health regulations.
Pricing varies depending on the extent of contamination, access requirements, and the size and condition of the affected area.
Guide prices for rodent waste and contamination clean-up typically start from £400 (plus VAT). Where heavy or structural contamination is present, pricing typically starts from £800 (plus VAT). Final costs are confirmed following assessment.
Once contamination has been safely removed, it is important to address the cause of the infestation to reduce the risk of re-occurrence. This may include pest control treatment, proofing works, or exclusion measures.
Where required, follow-on services can be arranged through our Shield Group partners to support long-term protection of the property.
