Concealed Carcasses
Animals dying inside cavities, lofts, under floorboards or in ducts. Located with thermal imaging and fly-activity mapping before any plasterwork is disturbed.
Dead Animal Removal & Decontamination

What We Handle
From cavity wallsto driveways.
Most calls aren't "there's a dead rat on the lawn" - they're "we can smell something and we can't find it". Finding it cleanly is the bulk of the work, and the part untrained tradesmen get wrong.
Loft & Roof Voids
Rats, squirrels and pigeons that died inside soffits, water tanks or insulation. Removed, deck decontaminated, insulation replaced where needed.
Gardens & Outbuildings
Foxes, badgers, cats and dogs in gardens, sheds and under decking. Discreet removal with dignity and proper biohazard disposal.
Commercial & Food Premises
Kitchens, retail backs-of-house, plant rooms and ducts - handled to EHO standards with same-day decontamination certificates.
Road & Driveway Incidents
Pets and wildlife on private driveways or land. Discreet removal, sympathetic to families, with options for cremation arrangements where requested.
Odour-Only Call-Outs
Strong unexplained smell, no visible source. We find it - the only way to stop the smell is to remove the cause and treat the porous material around it.
How We Work
Locate. Remove.Decontaminate. Deodorise.
- 01
Source Location
Thermal imaging, fly-mapping, access inspection. We confirm exactly where the carcass is before opening anything up.
- 02
Biohazard Removal
Sealed PPE, double-bagged removal, EA-registered hazardous-waste route - never the household bin.
- 03
Decontamination
Enzymatic clean-down of every contacted surface - joists, plasterboard, brick, insulation. Tested afterwards.
- 04
Odour Treatment
Ozone, hydroxyl or enzymatic deodorising depending on the room. Porous materials beyond cleaning are removed under quote.
Pairs With
Rodent Control & Proofing
A dead animal in the property usually means there's an active route in. We almost always pair a same-day removal with a rodent survey and proofing visit - otherwise the next one's already on its way.

How quickly can you attend a dead animal call-out?
Same-day across the Wirral, Liverpool and Cheshire, and within 2–4 hours for active decomposition complaints in a home, food premises or letting property. We treat strong-smell call-outs as priority - the longer they're left, the deeper the contamination goes.
There's a smell but I can't find the animal. Can you locate it?
Yes. Locating concealed carcasses behind plasterboard, under floorboards, in cavity walls, in lofts and inside ducts is the bulk of this work. We use thermal imaging, fly-activity mapping and access-point inspection to pinpoint the source before opening anything up.
What animals do you remove?
Rats, mice and squirrels (especially in lofts and cavities), pigeons and gulls (in flues, soffits and air-handling units), foxes and badgers (in gardens and under decking), cats and dogs (road or domestic incidents) and farm livestock by arrangement. Bats are a protected species - we coordinate with licensed bat workers where required.
Do you decontaminate as well as remove?
Always. Carcass removal alone leaves behind fluids, parasites and odour. We treat each call as a biohazard event: PPE, sealed waste routes, enzymatic decontamination of the surfaces and an odour-control treatment of the room or cavity afterwards.
Is this covered by household or commercial insurance?
Frequently, yes - especially where damage extends into insulation, floorboards or contents. We supply insurer-formatted reports, dated photographs and itemised invoices so claims can be submitted cleanly. Tell us your insurer at the booking stage.
Will the smell really go?
Yes. Decomposition odour is a combination of volatile compounds (putrescine, cadaverine, sulphides) absorbed into porous materials. We use enzymatic neutralisers, ozone or hydroxyl treatment depending on the room, and replace any insulation, carpet underlay or plasterboard that's beyond cleaning - the only honest way to get rid of it for good.
