It ensures that affected areas are restored to a safe, habitable state by eliminating pathogens and odours.
How Much Does Professional Biohazard Cleaning Cost?
The cost of professional biohazard cleaning ranges from £200 to over £1,500 depending on the severity of contamination, the type of incident, and the size of the affected area.
Costs are primarily influenced by factors such as the level of specialist PPE required, the need for certified biohazard waste disposal, the extent of surface and material decontamination, and whether the cleanup involves trauma-related or commercial environments.
Emergency out-of-hours callouts may also increase pricing.
