Bio-Shield provides professional trauma cleaning services across the Scottish Borders and surrounding areas. This service is designed for situations where a traumatic incident has resulted in biological contamination or hazardous conditions that require specialist cleaning, disinfection, and controlled remediation to protect health and safety.
We work discreetly with landlords, letting agents, housing providers, local authorities, estates, and commercial clients to ensure affected properties are made safe, hygienic, and suitable for further use.
Trauma cleaning is required where biological contamination or hazardous materials are present and cannot be addressed through standard cleaning methods.
This may include contamination affecting surfaces, fixtures, furnishings, or building materials that require controlled removal and professional decontamination. All works are carried out using appropriate PPE, specialist equipment, and approved cleaning and disinfection products selected based on the risks identified.
Each situation is assessed individually due to the sensitive and variable nature of trauma-related incidents.
Professional trauma cleaning may be required following:
Serious incidents resulting in biological contamination
Properties affected by traumatic events requiring remediation
Situations where hygiene or safety concerns prevent normal use of the property
Properties requiring specialist cleaning prior to reoccupation or further works
The objective is to restore affected areas to a safe and hygienic condition while working with professionalism, discretion, and sensitivity.
The Scottish Borders include a wide mix of rural homes, market towns, agricultural properties, estates, and isolated dwellings. Trauma cleaning in these environments can involve additional challenges such as access, scale, outbuildings, or extended periods before issues are discovered.
Our technicians regularly operate throughout the region, including areas such as Galashiels, Hawick, Selkirk, Jedburgh, and Peebles, alongside surrounding rural locations.
This regional familiarity allows us to plan and deliver works safely and efficiently, even in remote or hard-to-reach areas.
Clients contact us with a brief description 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 and expected timescales. For complex or higher-risk situations, an on-site assessment may be required before works commence.
All trauma cleaning works are handled with professionalism, discretion, and respect for those affected.
All trauma cleaning is carried out by trained technicians using appropriate PPE and specialist equipment.
Any waste generated during trauma cleaning is removed, transported, and disposed of responsibly using licensed waste carriers and approved disposal routes, in line with environmental and health regulations.
Pricing varies depending on the extent of contamination, access conditions, and the size and condition of the affected area.
Guide prices for trauma cleaning typically start from £700 (plus VAT). Final costs are confirmed following assessment.
In some cases, additional measures may be recommended following trauma cleaning to reduce the risk of further issues. This may include further decontamination, pest control, or preventative treatments depending on the circumstances.
Where appropriate, follow-on services can be arranged through our Shield Group partners to provide a complete and joined-up solution.
