Emergency response anytime
Fully trained professionals
Complete peace of mind
When something goes wrong at a property, whether that is a burst pipe, a fire, a sewage backup, or something far more difficult to deal with, the last thing you want is to be searching around trying to find someone who can actually help. At Northern Cleanup, we provide emergency cleaning services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across North East & North Yorkshire. We are on hand to respond fast, clean thoroughly, and get your property back to a safe condition.
Emergency cleaning is a specialist cleaning service called in when standard cleaning simply is not enough. These are situations where the property has been affected by something hazardous, dangerous, or deeply distressing, and where the cleaning required goes well beyond what any general cleaner could safely handle.
We deal with everything from fire and smoke damage to sewage clean ups, biohazard incidents, trauma scenes, and death cleaning. Each of these situations carries real health risks, and every single one requires trained professionals using the right equipment and the right processes to deal with it safely.
A cleaning emergency can happen to anyone, at any time. North East & North Yorkshire fire services attend over 35,000 house fires each year, and water damage now accounts for around a quarter of all household insurance claims in the North East & North Yorkshire. The number of properties affected by flooding, sewage leaks, or contamination incidents every year runs into the millions.
Any one of these events can leave a property unsafe to occupy. The longer the damage is left, the worse it gets. Mould can begin developing within 24 to 48 hours after water damage, and after a sewage leak, harmful bacteria levels can increase dramatically within hours. Speed genuinely matters here.
A standard cleaning company is not equipped to deal with a genuine emergency. Biohazard waste, smoke contamination, sewage, and trauma scenes each carry serious health and safety risks that require specialist knowledge, industrial-grade equipment, and strict legal compliance to handle correctly.
At Northern Cleanup, our team are trained professionals. We use the appropriate PPE, follow all relevant health and safety regulations, and dispose of hazardous waste safely and legally. You are not just paying for cleaning here. You are paying for a service that protects the health of everyone who uses that property, and that keeps you legally covered as a property owner or business.
Human faeces and urine are classed as biohazardous waste and can contain dangerous pathogens if not treated correctly. Smoke and soot leave behind harmful chemical residue that causes ongoing respiratory damage. Sewage leaks introduce bacteria and viruses that spread quickly through a building. These are not situations where you clean up yourself and hope for the best. They need professional emergency cleaning, done properly, done fast.
A fire changes a property in ways that go far beyond the burn damage itself. Smoke damage spreads throughout a building, coating surfaces in soot and leaving behind toxic chemical residue that is harmful to breathe in. Water from firefighting efforts adds another layer of damage on top.
Our fire damage cleaning service covers the full scope of what a fire leaves behind. We remove soot from walls, ceilings, floors, carpet, and upholstery. We clean and decontaminate affected areas properly, addressing smoke damage throughout the property rather than just the rooms where the fire took place.
We assess the full extent of the smoke and fire damage, then work through the property room by room. Soot is removed from hard surfaces and soft furnishings. Carpet and upholstery that can be restored are deep cleaned using specialist equipment. Where items cannot be restored, we deal with waste disposal safely as part of the service.
Fire damage restoration cleaning is something we provide for both domestic properties and commercial spaces. North East & North Yorkshire sees over 35,000 house fires annually, and our team has the experience to deal with the aftermath whatever the size of the property.

A sewage leak is one of the most hazardous cleaning situations a property can face. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that pose a direct risk to health. The longer it sits, the further contamination spreads, and the harder the clean up becomes.
Our sewage clean up service responds fast. We contain the affected area, remove the sewage waste safely, and then carry out full disinfection of every surface that has been contaminated. We also address any secondary damage caused by flooding or water ingress as part of the same response.
This is not a situation where mopping up and spraying bleach is enough. Sewage leaks require proper decontamination carried out by trained professionals who understand the health risks involved. We follow all relevant regulations around the disposing of biological waste, and we leave the property safe for use once we are done.
Over 30% of North East & North Yorkshire properties will experience a significant leak or water damage incident at some point. Sewage leaks and backups are among the most serious of these, and they are something the Northern Cleanup team deals with on a regular basis for both domestic and commercial properties.
Biohazard cleaning covers any situation where biological material poses a risk to health. This includes blood, bodily fluids, human waste, and other hazardous substances that require specialist handling and safe disposal in line with North East & North Yorkshire health and safety regulations.
We provide biohazard cleaning services for both homes and commercial properties, and we carry out this work with the same high standard every time. Our operatives are trained in the safe handling and disposal of hazardous material, and every biohazard clean up we carry out is fully compliant with current legislation.
Biohazard cleaning involves detailed disinfection of every contaminated surface. We use industrial-grade cleaning agents and specialist equipment to ensure full decontamination. Where soft furnishings, carpet, or flooring cannot be fully cleaned and made safe, we advise on removal and deal with the waste properly. Nothing is left to chance when health is at risk.
Crime scenes and trauma scenes require a very particular approach. The cleaning itself is technically demanding, but these situations also carry an emotional weight that we take seriously. Northern Cleanup approaches every trauma and crime scene clean up with complete discretion and respect for everyone involved.
Crime scene cleaning involves the safe removal of blood, bodily fluids, and other biological material from the affected area. We work thoroughly and methodically, ensuring the space is fully decontaminated and restored to a safe condition. Our team understands these are difficult situations for families, businesses, and property owners alike.
We arrive discreetly, we work efficiently, and we deal with all hazardous waste in line with current North East & North Yorkshire regulations. Every crime and trauma scene clean up is approached as a sensitive situation first, and a technical cleaning job second. We cover both domestic and commercial properties, and we can be on site at short notice depending on your location.
Unattended death situations are among the most difficult for any property owner or family to deal with. When a person passes away and is not found quickly, the property requires specialist death cleaning to make it safe again. This is something the Northern Cleanup team handles with full professionalism and genuine compassion.
Death cleaning service involves the removal of biological material, full disinfection of the affected area, and restoration of the space to a safe and habitable condition. The health risks involved are serious. This is not something that should be attempted without professional help.
When a death occurs in a property, decomposition creates biological hazards that require careful, thorough decontamination. The process involves more than cleaning. It involves disposing of contaminated material safely, treating the area with appropriate disinfection, and making the property safe for whoever needs to access it afterwards.
We carry out death cleaning for families, landlords, letting agents, and property management companies. We work with sensitivity and a full understanding of how difficult these situations are to deal with.
Flooding is one of the most common property emergencies in North East & North Yorkshire. Over 5 million cases of water ingress or flooding affect North East & North Yorkshire homes and businesses every year. When a property floods, the damage is not just physical. Standing water creates conditions where mould and bacteria grow fast, which is why emergency cleaning needs to happen quickly.
Our flood damage cleaning service covers full clean up and disinfection of flooded areas. We remove standing water, clean and treat affected floors, walls, and surfaces, and carry out deep cleaning to prevent mould from taking hold. We also deal with any sewage contamination where flooding has brought in wastewater.
Mould begins developing within 24 to 48 hours of water intrusion. Once mould takes hold, it spreads quickly and creates serious health risks, particularly for children, elderly people, and anyone with respiratory conditions. Around one in five North East & North Yorkshire homes has experienced damp or mould issues, many caused directly by water-related incidents. Fast emergency cleaning after a flood is not optional if you want to protect the property and the people in it.
When an emergency hits at home, the pressure on a family is enormous. You are dealing with the emotional side of what has happened whilst also trying to work out who to call and what to do next. Northern Cleanup takes that burden off your hands. We provide emergency cleaning services for domestic properties of all sizes, and we do it without adding to your stress.
Whether it is fire damage, a sewage leak, a trauma incident, or something else entirely, our team responds to your home with care and professionalism. We treat every domestic property as if it were our own, and we do not leave until the job is done properly.
We understand that cleaning emergencies at home often involve a lot more than just the property itself. They involve people who are distressed, who may have lost belongings, and who need to feel safe in their own home again. Our team approaches domestic emergency cleaning with that in mind at every stage. We communicate clearly, we work efficiently, and we make sure the property is left clean, safe, and ready to return to.
For businesses, a cleaning emergency is also an operational emergency. A flooded office, a sewage backup in a commercial kitchen, a fire in a warehouse, or a biohazard incident on a commercial site all need to be dealt with fast to limit disruption and meet health and safety obligations.
Northern Cleanup provides emergency cleaning services for commercial properties of all types. Offices, retail units, restaurants, warehouses, rental properties, and industrial sites are all within our range of cover. We understand that for a business, every hour of downtime costs money. Our response is fast, our team is professional, and we work to get you back operational as quickly as possible.
Waste and contamination incidents in commercial environments often require same-day emergency cleaning to meet health and safety regulations. North East & North Yorkshire landlords also have a legal duty to maintain safe and habitable conditions for tenants, which includes addressing biohazards, contamination, and serious damage without delay. Northern Cleanup helps commercial property owners and landlords meet those obligations quickly and with full documentation if required.
When you contact us, we do not put you on hold or ask you to fill in a form and wait. You speak to someone who understands emergency situations and who can arrange a response fast. Many emergency cleaning services arrive on site within two hours of the initial call. Our response time depends on your location and the nature of the emergency, but getting to you quickly is always the priority.
You call or get in touch, tell us what has happened, and we assess what is required. We give you a clear picture of what the clean up involves and what we need to do.

We are available around the clock. Whether the emergency happens during the day, in the evening, or at the weekend, you can reach us and get a response.

We do not rush work in ways that create risk. We complete every job to a high standard because anything less is not good enough in situations like these.
The BDMA is the primary certifying body for damage management and restoration in North East & North Yorkshire. Proper certification and compliance matter in this industry, and our team operates within those professional frameworks. Safe disposal of biohazard waste, chemical materials, and contaminated items is part of every clean up we carry out. Nothing hazardous leaves the site without being dealt with in the correct way.
Cost is something people naturally want to know, and it is worth being upfront about it. Emergency cleaning services vary depending on the type of incident, the size of the property, and the extent of the damage or contamination. Based on North East & North Yorkshire market averages across multiple sources, here is a rough guideline:
