Contaminated Insulation
🐭 Rodent Contamination in Lofts
Health hazard. Insulation damage. Time to act.
Rodent activity in lofts is more common than most homeowners realise. Mice, rats, and squirrels leave behind urine, droppings, and nesting debris — all of which contaminate your insulation and create serious health risks for you and your family.
Rodents also chew through insulation and wiring, reducing energy efficiency and increasing the risk of electrical faults.
🧰 Our Rodent Contamination Removal Service Includes:
- Safe removal and disposal of all contaminated insulation
- Industrial vacuuming of droppings and waste
- Biocide spray disinfection of the entire loft space
- Fresh insulation installed, restoring performance and safety
All work is carried out with PPE, professional equipment, and proper waste handling — no corner-cutting, no contamination left behind.
🕊️ Pigeon Guano Contamination
Dangerous to your health — and often hidden.
Pigeon droppings (guano) are not just unpleasant — they pose a serious biological risk to human health, especially when dried and airborne.
One of the major risks is Psittacosis (also called Ornithosis) — an infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydophila psittaci found in pigeon faeces. Pigeons can carry this bacteria without showing symptoms, meaning lofts and roof spaces can be infected without any obvious warning signs.
⚠️ How Psittacosis Spreads:
- Inhalation of dust from dried pigeon droppings, feathers, or secretions
- Direct handling of contaminated loft insulation
- Even brief exposure can result in infection
🤒 In Humans, Psittacosis Can Cause:
- Flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches)
- Respiratory illness or severe pneumonia
- Long-term complications if untreated
🧼 Our Pigeon Guano Cleaning Process:
✔️ Full removal of contaminated insulation and waste
✔️ Safe disposal following biohazard standards
