Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV) Decontamination Westwood
A space may appear clean and yet carry invisible bacteria, viruses and mould spores throughout. Surface wiping treats only what a cloth can actually reach, leaving the air and every hard to reach area untreated. This is specifically the gap that HPV decontamination is designed to close.
Sanondaf FM offers HPV decontamination services throughout Westwood. The process thoroughly disinfects the entire room rather than solely the visible surfaces, and we provide documented certification confirming that the work has been carried out to the greatest standard.

What is HPV decontamination?
Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour is what HPV abbreviates. Liquid hydrogen peroxide is turned into a fine, dry mist that circulates through a sealed room as a gas would. It travels exactly as air does, accessing corners, vents, high shelves and the gaps behind equipment that standard cleaning methods fail to reach.
The mist eliminates bacteria, infectious viruses, fungi and spores on touch, including resistant pathogens such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile. Once the cycle is complete, the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen only, resulting in no residue or odour. This makes it safe for use around electronics, medical equipment and delicate surfaces.
It is furthermore markedly more thorough than a manual clean could ever be! Our process provides a validated Log-6 reduction, meaning it removes 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 countless numbers of organisms behind.

The sectors we cover in Westwood
HPV decontamination is successful wherever infection prevention is vital and routine cleaning simply is not enough. The work we do is focused across five main sectors.
NHS and healthcare settings
From ward areas and side rooms through to operating theatres and intensive care units, we deliver support for terminal cleaning, outbreak response and planned cleaning schedules. Our work makes a valuable contribution to the reduction of hospital-acquired infections whilst providing infection prevention teams with detailed, recorded evidence for audit purposes.
Life sciences and laboratories
Purity is absolute. For fume cupboards, biological safety cabinets and air systems, our dry-fog vapour penetrates deep inside without producing residue, preserving precious samples whilst ensuring effortless validation and compliance.
Educational settings
Educational settings ranging from primary schools through to universities are busy, high-contact environments in which pathogens move with considerable ease. We conduct extensive treatments across full buildings during holiday periods or after hours, eliminating bacteria, viruses and allergens from both surfaces and the air without any interruption to the academic schedule.
Housing and student accommodation
Mould presents a genuine health and compliance challenge in housing properties, and it seldom confines itself to visible surfaces alone. Our vapour treatment moves behind skirtings, into cavities and around extractor fans, tackling spores directly at their source rather than simply covering up the problem.
Veterinary and animal welfare
Animal practices, kennels and animal welfare facilities are continually battling cross-infection risks! We fully disinfect consultation rooms, theatres, kennels and isolation areas throughout, and because our treatment leaves entirely zero residue, it remains completely safe in spaces where animals nuzzle and brush against fittings.
Why organisations in Westwood choose us
You receive outcomes you can verify. Every treatment achieves a validated Log 6 reduction complete with full documentation ready for audits and inspections, whilst the vapour moves through the air and coats every surface, reaching the elevated and concealed areas that cloths and UV systems simply cannot access. Because it naturally dissolves into nothing more than water and oxygen, it remains entirely safe in the presence of sensitive equipment.
We thoughtfully schedule every callout around your availability to minimise interruption, and we guarantee the room is thoroughly ventilated before returning it to you. Supported by Safe Contractor and NHS approval alongside over ten years of expertise, we are a trusted choice for locations ranging from NHS critical care wards to ferries and ships.
HPV decontamination in Westwood FAQ
How long does HPV Decontamination take?
Though the length of time changes according to the size of the room and its items, a regular space can generally be handled, vented and returned to use within just a couple of hours. We thoughtfully arrange all work to suit your availability to ensure disruption remains to a minimum throughout.
Is it safe for my equipment?
Yes. The process leaves behind no residue and does not corrode surfaces, making it safe around electronics, medical equipment and IT. After the room is ventilated, only water and oxygen remain.
Does it replace normal cleaning?
No. HPV works with your usual cleaning routine, instead of replacing it. It offers a greater reset when you need to deal with an outbreak, meet an inspection, or access areas that routine day-to-day cleaning simply cannot access.
