Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV) Decontamination Hirst
A room may seem immaculate and yet harbour germs, pathogens and mould spores that remain entirely invisible to the human eye. Surface wiping tackles only what a cloth can directly contact, leaving the air and every hard-to-reach corner untreated. This is precisely the deficiency that HPV decontamination addresses.
Sanondaf FM offers HPV decontamination services throughout Hirst, treating every part of a room rather than simply the spots you can see, and supplying you with written proof that the work has been carried out to the highest standard.

What is HPV decontamination?
Hydrogen Peroxide vapour is what HPV stands for, and this process operates by turning hydrogen peroxide into an exceptionally fine, dry mist that travels through a sealed room in the same way as a gas would. Because it travels exactly the way air moves, it makes its way into corners, ventilation points, high shelves and the hidden gaps behind equipment that conventional cleaning methods simply do not reach.
The steam wipes out bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores on contact, tackling even the most stubborn bugs like MRSA and Clostridium difficile. Once the treatment is complete, the hydrogen peroxide just breaks down into water and oxygen, leaving absolutely zero residue or odour behind. That means it is totally safe to use around electronics, medical equipment and delicate surfaces!
It is additionally markedly more thorough than any manual clean could ever be! Our process achieves a validated Log-6 reduction, meaning it eliminates 99.9999% of the microbes present within a room. Most off-the-shelf sprays only claim 99.9%, and in a hospital or laboratory setting that apparently tiny difference still leaves many millions of organisms behind.

When the situation demands it, our services are available at all hours.

The sectors we cover in Hirst
HPV decontamination operates wherever infection control is essential and routine cleaning does not go far enough. Our work covers five core sectors.
NHS and healthcare settings
From ward departments and single rooms through to operating theatres and intensive care units, we provide support for terminal cleaning, outbreak response and planned cleaning programmes. Our work makes a valuable contribution to the decrease of hospital-acquired infections whilst equipping infection prevention teams with detailed, documented evidence for audit purposes.
Life sciences and laboratories
Looking to keep fume cupboards, biological safety cabinets and air systems fully sterile? Our excellent dry fog vapour covers this equipment with zero residue, protecting important samples whilst aiding validation and compliance!
Educational settings
Learning establishments, childcare centres, further education colleges and higher education institutions are busy, frequently visited environments where germs travel at impressive speed! We treat complete buildings during school holidays or evenings, eliminating bacteria, viruses and allergens from both affected surfaces and the air without creating any disruption whatsoever to the day-to-day schedule.
Housing and student accommodation
Mould is a serious safety and compliance issue in housing and seldom stays surface level. The vapour we use travels behind skirting boards, into cavities and around extractor fans, treating spores at the source rather than concealing them.
Veterinary and animal welfare
Vet practices, kennels and animal welfare facilities are engaged in a perpetual battle against the ever present threat of cross infection. We deliver complete disinfection across consultation rooms, operating theatres, kennel spaces and isolation areas, and because our treatment leaves absolutely no residue behind, it remains entirely safe in environments where animals will naturally lick and rub themselves against the surrounding fittings.
Why organisations in Hirst choose us
You obtain outcomes that are fully verifiable. Each treatment achieves a verified Log-6 reduction, supported by comprehensive documentation for audits and inspections, and the vapour reaches the air as well as every surface, including raised and concealed areas that cloths and UV systems often fail to reach. As it safely breaks down into water and oxygen, it remains entirely safe in the presence of sensitive equipment.
We carefully schedule every visit around your timings to limit disruption, and fully refresh each space prior to handover. Backed by Safe Contractor and NHS approval as well as more than a decade of industry experience, we are a trusted choice across sites as demanding as NHS critical care wards, ferries, and ships.
HPV decontamination in Hirst FAQ
How long does HPV Decontamination take?
Whilst the length of time changes depending on the dimensions of the room and its furnishings, a standard space can usually be managed, aired and returned to use within just a couple of hours. We closely arrange all work to suit your availability to ensure disruption stays low throughout.
Is it safe for my equipment?
Certainly. The method leaves entirely no deposit and will not corrode any surface areas, making it entirely safe for use around electronic equipment, medical equipment and IT infrastructure. After the room has been properly aerated, no residue remains except water and oxygen.
Does it replace normal cleaning?
No! HPV works alongside your usual cleaning routine, not instead of it. Think of it as a deeper reset for the occasions when you need to contain an outbreak, pass an inspection, or reach areas that everyday cleaning simply cannot reach.
