Crime scene and biohazard cleaning - discreet, thorough, 24/7
When a home or workplace has been the scene of a death, an assault, a serious injury or a biohazard event, SES restores it safely and quietly, so you do not have to.
24/7 emergency line021 639 196
- Unmarked vehicles on request

Situations we handle
All work follows biohazard protocols and waste is disposed of as regulated medical waste.
Homes
Unattended deaths, suicides, homicides and assaults; blood and bodily-fluid clean-up; hoarding and squalor with biological contamination.
Vehicles
Cars, vans and fleet vehicles decontaminated after injury, illness or bodily-fluid contamination.
Workplaces
Serious accidents and industrial injuries, sharps and drug-paraphernalia clearance, with inductions and reporting for the site.
Rentals
Tenancy hand-backs after a death, drug use or biohazard event, documented for landlord, insurer or agency.
How we work
- Step 01
One call
A senior technician takes the details, tells you what to expect, and arranges timing around police release of the scene.
- Step 02
Assess and contain
Affected areas isolated; family or staff kept clear; unmarked vehicle if you prefer.
- Step 03
Remove, clean, disinfect
Contaminated materials removed and disposed of as biohazard waste; surfaces cleaned, disinfected and deodorised; ATP or visual verification.
- Step 04
Restore and document
Flooring, linings or paint replaced where needed; completion report for the property owner, insurer or agency.
What biohazard cleaning costs
Priced after a confidential phone assessment. Most jobs are covered by home, landlord or business insurance, or by victim-support arrangements; we help with the paperwork and can bill the insurer directly.

Why families, landlords and agencies call SES
We treat every job as someone’s home or workplace, not a scene: quietly, properly and to the end.
- Discretion first - plain clothes and unmarked vehicles on request; we never discuss a job with neighbours or media.
- Trained and equipped - biohazard protocols, regulated waste disposal and verification, not a general cleaner with gloves.
- We finish the job - flooring, linings and paint reinstated so the space can be lived or worked in again.

Crime scene cleaning FAQs
Straight answers to the questions procurement teams, facilities managers and property owners ask us most. If yours is not here, call the office or send us the scope and a division lead will answer it directly.
Who is responsible for cleaning a crime scene in NZ?
The property owner or occupier, once police release the scene. Police do not arrange cleaning; we work directly with you or your insurer.
Does insurance cover it?
Usually yes under home, landlord or business policies as accidental damage. We provide documentation and can invoice the insurer with your authority.
How soon can you attend?
24/7 in Auckland, usually within hours of the scene being released; same or next day elsewhere.
Will neighbours know?
Not from us. Unmarked vehicles and plain coveralls are available on request, and we do not display signage.
What happens to the contaminated material?
Removed in sealed containers and disposed of as regulated biohazard waste, with disposal records kept on file.
