Our Approach

Our Approach

Squat clearance combines bulk waste removal, sharps recovery, and biological decontamination. We arrive in PPE and walk the property to identify hazards before clearance starts. Sharps are recovered into approved containers; soft furnishings that can't be salvaged are bagged for disposal; surfaces are cleaned and disinfected with hospital-grade chemicals. Where human waste is present, we handle it in compliant biohazard containers. We co-ordinate with the property owner or letting agent on what to remove vs. what to keep.

The Process

What to Expect

  4. STEP 04 On-site clearance — typical 8-24 hours depending on property size and condition
  5. STEP 05 Transfer notes for waste handled; sign-off with photos for your records
Common Questions

Common Questions About Squat Clearance

Can you start immediately after eviction?
Usually yes — we can attend as soon as the property is legally clear. Bring keys or arrange access via a letting agent / locksmith. Initial site visit can be within 30-60 minutes for Tameside zones.
Will there be sharps?
Often. We assume sharps risk on every squat clearance and sweep accordingly. Recovery is documented and disposed of in approved containers.
Do you secure the property afterwards?
We don't board up or change locks — that's a job for a security contractor or locksmith. We'll flag any access vulnerabilities we spot during the clearance.
