Greater Manchester Police Awards Your Option Services Specialist Cleaning Contract

/0 Comments/in , /by

At the beginning of this year, I sat down and wrote out Your Option’s goals for 2026. The very first one on the list was securing Greater Manchester Police.

At the time, I had no idea whether a tender would even be released, let alone whether we would be successful. But I knew one thing with certainty – regardless of if an opportunity came, we were going after it.

Today, I am incredibly proud to announce that Greater Manchester Police has awarded Your Option Services Limited the contract to deliver Specialist Cleaning services across the entirety of Greater Manchester.

This includes specialist cleaning within crime scenes, custody suites, forensic rooms, road traffic collisions, and every single GMP fleet vehicle operating across the force.

For us, this contract represents far more than growth.

It represents trust.

It represents credibility.

And it represents years of building a business capable of operating within some of the most sensitive, high-pressure and operationally critical environments possible.

Built for High-Pressure Environments

Your Option was built specifically for this level of work.

From day one, the vision was never simply to create another cleaning company. The goal was to build an operationally disciplined business capable of responding to complex situations quickly, professionally, and without compromise.

That is why our business is built around:

  • Fast response times
  • Operational discipline
  • Accountability
  • High-performance teams
  • Consistency under pressure
  • Discretion and professionalism

And perhaps most importantly, people willing to walk into environments most others walk away from.

Over the years, our teams have completed specialist cleans following violent crime, sudden deaths, suicides, biohazard exposure, vulnerable occupant cases, forensic contamination risks, and high-risk environments requiring absolute precision and sensitivity.

This is not glamorous work.

It is not work many people see.

And most of the public will never truly understand what happens behind the scenes to keep critical services operational, safe, and functioning.

But our teams do. And they continue to show up every single day.

A Huge Milestone for Your Option

Supporting GMP during the interim period gave us the opportunity to demonstrate exactly what Your Option is capable of operationally.

Strong KPIs. Rapid mobilisation. Responsive service delivery. Teams that understand the seriousness of the environments they work within.

To now formally secure this contract is a major milestone for our business and a reflection of the standards we have worked relentlessly to build.

As CEO, moments like this are incredibly significant. To be operating across one of the largest police forces in the country is something I am immensely proud of.

But more than anything, I am proud of the people behind Your Option.

The technicians, managers, supervisors, and operational teams who continue to represent the company with professionalism, resilience, and commitment every day.

Reflecting On 2025, & Looking Ahead To 2026.

As we come to the close of 2025, it feels important to pause and reflect on what has been a defining year for Your Option.

First and foremost, I want to thank our clients – both those who joined us this year and those who have partnered with us for longer, for the trust you have placed in our team. Your confidence in us has been fundamental to everything we have achieved over the past twelve months.

2025 has been a year of exceptionally strong growth, operational progress, and meaningful impact across our services. Together, we have delivered at scale, maintained high standards under pressure, and continued to strengthen the way we operate. Behind every job completed is a team committed to doing things properly — with consistency, care, and accountability.

Alongside growth, this year has also reinforced who we are as a business: focused on quality, grounded in strong values, and committed to making a positive difference for the communities and environments we serve.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are incredibly excited about what’s to come. We enter the new year with momentum, ambition, and a clear focus on raising standards even further – for our clients, our partners, and the people who rely on the services we deliver.

On behalf of the entire Your Option team, thank you once again for your continued support. We wish you a very Happy New Year and look forward to working together in 2026.

Raising the Standard: Your Option Expands Services for BCP Council Following Exceptional Performance.

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

When we mobilised the Specialist Cleaning contract for BCP Council, our goal was simple: deliver fast, reliable, high-quality services from day one – and demonstrate a standard of performance that genuinely adds value to the Bournemouth community.

Just a few months into the contract, we’re proud to share that gutter cleaning has now been formally added to our service provision.
This addition isn’t just an expansion of scope – it’s a direct acknowledgement of the consistency, precision, and pace with which our team has been delivering across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Performance That Drives Trust
From the outset, our operational model has outperformed expectations.

We have:
– Achieved 99% plus KPI compliance across all SLAs (urgent, reactive and scheduled specialist cleans).
– Delivered turnaround times significantly faster than the contractual requirements.
– Responded to urgent requests rapidly – reducing safety risks and preventing property damage.
– Maintained zero service failures, backed by strong quality assurance and real-time monitoring.

This level of performance has created significant confidence – and with confidence comes additional responsibility.

Expanding Into Gutter Cleaning: Why It Matters
Gutters are one of the most overlooked components of property maintenance, yet blocked or damaged gutters can quickly escalate into:

– Water ingress
– Damp and mould
– Structural deterioration
– Increased responsive repair costs

By adding gutter cleaning into our Specialist Cleaning framework, BCP Council strengthens its proactive maintenance strategy – reducing long-term repair burdens and improving safety and comfort across homes, communal buildings and corporate sites.

Investment in Industry-Leading Equipment
To deliver this safely, efficiently and at scale, we have invested in advanced equipment and additional trained operatives, including:

🔹 High-reach gutter vacuum systems
Capable of cleaning gutters up to several storeys high from ground level, reducing the need for ladders and significantly improving safety.

🔹 Real-time camera inspection technology
Allows us to provide clear pre- and post-cleaning evidence, supporting transparency and audit trails.

🔹 Enhanced safety and access tools
Suitable for complex rooflines, sheltered schemes, sloped areas and challenging architectural structures.

🔹 Additional specialist operatives
Trained specifically in high-level cleaning, gutter safety protocols, confined workspaces and responsive maintenance.

These investments ensure that every gutter clean is carried out effectively, safely and with full compliance to industry and council standards.

 


A Partnership Built on Performance
For us, this extension reinforces an important principle: Strong performance leads to stronger partnerships.

When a local authority trusts you to deliver, communicates openly with your team, and sees your operatives consistently solving problems before they escalate – you become more than a contractor. You become a trusted partner of progress.

This is the standard we commit to across every contract, and we’re proud that BCP Council recognises this.

Looking Ahead
Our commitment remains the same:

✔ Deliver services that are safe, efficient, and compliant
✔ Invest in our people and our technology
✔ Provide transparent, evidence-based reporting
✔ Respond rapidly to protect residents and assets
✔ Add value beyond the baseline contract requirements

We are proud of our team, proud of the momentum we’ve built, and proud to be raising the standard across the BCP conurbation.

There is SO much more to come from this contract. With our scale, expertise and results, our aim is to become the contractor that delivers the greatest impact across the BCP region.

Trauma & Crime Scene Cleaning – Delivered with Care, Compliance, and Expertise.

/0 Comments/in , /by

In homes, workplaces, and public spaces, unexpected and often tragic events can leave behind more than emotional distress. The aftermath of violent incidents, accidents, suicides, or unattended deaths often involves biological hazards that pose significant risks to health. Blood, bodily fluids, decomposition by-products, and other contaminants require far more than general cleaning. They demand a specialist response that is safe, compliant, and respectful.

At Your Option Services Ltd, we provide a professional, discreet, and compassionate trauma and crime scene cleaning service. Our role goes beyond restoring a property — it is about helping people move forward, ensuring environments are safe, compliant with UK law, and free from biohazard risks.

Why Specialist Intervention is Essential

Biohazards can carry serious pathogens, including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, MRSA and other harmful bacteria and viruses. Contaminants may be invisible to the naked eye, absorbed into porous materials such as carpets, plasterboard, and upholstery. In cases of unattended deaths, decomposition brings additional risks: odours, pest activity, and further contamination.

Attempting to clean such environments without the correct training, protective equipment, or disposal methods is unsafe and unlawful. All biohazard remediation must comply with strict UK legislation and guidance, including:

  • Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 – ensuring employers safeguard staff and others affected by their work.
  • Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 – requiring safe handling, storage, and use of hazardous substances.
  • Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 – covering safe transport of hazardous and infectious waste.
  • Environmental Protection Act 1990 & Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 – governing the segregation, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste, with Duty of Care obligations for waste producers.
  • Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 – ensuring workplaces remain safe, clean, and suitable for occupation.
  • HSE Guidance on Biological Agents – providing requirements for protection against pathogens.

Our Proven Approach

Your Option Services Ltd has over a decade of experience delivering specialist cleaning for police forces, housing associations, and local authorities. Our method is evidence-driven, fully compliant, and proven to return sites to safe use quickly and respectfully.

Immediate Response & Containment
Available 24.7, we secure the scene on arrival, set up safe work zones, and prevent cross-contamination.

Comprehensive Assessment
Trained supervisors assess visible and hidden contamination, recording risks and required actions.

Safe Biohazard Removal
Blood, bodily fluids, sharps, and contaminated materials are safely removed, including structural elements (e.g., flooring, plasterboard) where absorption has occurred.
All hazardous waste is packaged, labelled, transported, and disposed of via licensed hazardous waste transfer stations, with full waste consignment notes issued.

Deep Cleaning & Disinfection
We apply broad-spectrum disinfectants and sanitisers, tested to EN standards, eradicating pathogens and bacteria.

Odour Neutralisation
Persistent odours from decomposition or biological matter are treated at the source using advanced fogging and purification equipment, never just masked.

Restoration-Ready
Properties are fully decontaminated to a safe standard, ready for reoccupation or handover to contractors for refurbishment.

Compassion and Discretion

We understand that these are sensitive and often distressing situations. Our operatives are trained not only in biohazard remediation but also in mental health awareness and safeguarding. We operate with discretion, empathy, and respect for residents, families, and communities, ensuring our presence is as unobtrusive as possible.

Why Choose Your Option

  • 24.7 Rapid Response: On-site within agreed timeframes, with proven delivery across high-profile contracts including Metropolitan Police, Notting Hill Genesis, and BCP Council.
  • Full Legal Compliance: Every stage of our process adheres to UK legislation, providing peace of mind that all works meet regulatory and environmental standards.
  • Waste Traceability: Complete audit trail for hazardous waste, including consignment notes, ensuring accountability.
  • Cross-Sector Experience: Trusted by housing associations, councils, emergency services, and private clients to handle the most complex and sensitive cases.
  • Proven Outcomes: Over 82,500 successful specialist cleans delivered in the last six years, with client satisfaction consistently exceeding 99.8%.

At Your Option Services Ltd, we handle the unimaginable so that clients, residents, and families don’t have to. Our combination of technical expertise, legal compliance, and compassionate service ensures that even in the most difficult circumstances, properties are restored to safety — with dignity, respect, and professionalism.

Fire Damage Restoration: From Devastation to Renewal.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

When fire strikes, it doesn’t discriminate. In minutes, it can tear through homes or buildings, leaving behind devastation, uncertainty, and loss. The first priority will always be to put the fire out and protect lives. But once the flames are gone, the question becomes: what next?

That’s where fire damage restoration begins.

Restoration is not just about rebuilding bricks and mortar — it’s about restoring safety, structure, and a sense of normality. In most cases, the process is initiated through your insurance company, who will appoint a specialist team to assess the property, provide a scope of works and quotation, and then carry out the restoration.

At Your Option Services Ltd, we’ve managed countless emergency restorations, including a large-scale case in January 2022 where a blaze engulfed a top-floor apartment and spread through communal areas. Residents couldn’t return until our team had secured and restored the site — a reminder of just how urgent and vital this work can be.

So, how does fire damage restoration actually work? Here’s an overview:

1. Assessment and Planning
Unlike any other restoration, fire damage requires a forensic-level assessment before work begins. It’s not just about what the flames touched — it’s about the hidden impacts too, from water intrusion to structural weakening. We survey the property, identifying what can be saved and what must be removed.
2. Securing the Property
Once scoped, our first priority is safety. We secure the perimeter to prevent unauthorised entry and create a safe workspace for the remediation team. Skips and licensed waste carriers handle debris removal, while exposed areas — particularly roofs — are covered to protect the property from the elements.
3. Preventing Further Damage
Fires don’t just burn — they leave behind water, soot, and corrosion. To halt further deterioration, we dry out affected areas, strip back ruined materials, and stabilise the structure. In some cases, even undamaged areas must be carefully removed to ensure the long-term safety of the building.
4. Deep Cleaning and Decontamination
This stage is as intensive as it is detailed. Every surface must be cleaned of soot and smoke residue, ducts are flushed, and the entire property is deodorised. Antimicrobial treatments are applied to prevent mould and bacteria, ensuring the property is safe for reoccupation.
5. Full Restoration
Finally, the rebuilding begins. Our construction arm, Handy Option, undertakes everything from replacing roofs and rewiring electrics to laying new flooring and rebuilding interiors. As walls are restored, fixtures replaced, and furniture returned, a sense of normalcy gradually takes hold.

Restoration is more than repair.

Fire leaves behind more than physical damage — it leaves uncertainty. But with a structured, professional approach, properties can be restored, lives can move forward, and safety can be regained.

At Your Option Services Ltd, we pride ourselves not just on repairing what’s broken, but on helping people rebuild with confidence.

Flood Restoration: Delivering Rapid, Professional Recovery When It Matters Most.

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Across the UK, the frequency and severity of flooding has increased in recent years, turning what was once considered a once-in-a-decade event into an annual challenge. Flooding brings not only significant disruption and stress for residents but also extensive property damage and costly repairs. Following the severe flash flooding in London in July 2021, Your Option Services Ltd was inundated with urgent requests from both commercial and domestic clients requiring our specialist Flood Restoration services.

The scale and speed of the event were unprecedented. Residents reported water levels rising from just two inches to over 1.5 feet in a matter of minutes, with almost three inches of rainfall recorded in just 90 minutes. This left little to no time for preparation, forcing households and businesses to deal immediately with the aftermath. Our team was mobilised within hours to provide structured, professional, and effective support.

Our Proven Flood Restoration Approach

Your Option Services Ltd deployed experienced flood restoration teams, supported by specialist equipment and processes, to deliver a rapid and coordinated response. Over a sustained 43-day operation, we restored more than 73 properties across London. This operation showcased not only our technical capability but also our resilience, capacity, and commitment to clients during periods of crisis.

Our work included:

  • Initial Strip-Out and Waste Removal – All water-damaged furniture, flooring, cupboards, and contents were safely removed and disposed of using licensed waste carriers. Properties were stripped back to their structural core to enable proper remediation.
  • Sanitisation and Decontamination – Floodwater often carries contaminants from streams, drains, and sewers. We implemented a comprehensive sanitisation process, eliminating harmful bacteria and ensuring properties were safe for reoccupation.
  • Odour and Moisture Control – Industrial drying equipment and deodorisation processes were applied to accelerate drying times and remove persistent odours, reducing secondary damage such as mould growth.
  • Handover for Restoration Works – Once decontaminated and stabilised, properties were ready for reinstatement works including redecoration, flooring installation, and replacement of fixtures and fittings.

Impact and Value Delivered

The residents and businesses we supported were able to return to their properties significantly faster than anticipated, minimising disruption to their daily lives and restoring a sense of normality. By acting quickly, Your Option Services Ltd not only mitigated long-term structural damage but also delivered substantial value to insurers, local authorities, and property managers through reduced repair costs and accelerated recovery times.

Why Fast Action Matters

Flood damage is progressive: the longer water remains in a property, the greater the structural, microbial, and financial consequences. Our response in July 2021 demonstrated the importance of early intervention. By mobilising resources immediately, applying structured processes, and maintaining continuous operations, we provided measurable benefits for both clients and residents, demonstrating our capability to deliver specialist restoration services under pressure.

At Your Option Services Ltd, we are committed to providing not only emergency response but also professional reassurance. Our approach ensures that properties are made safe, lives can return to normal, and long-term costs are reduced.
