My business partner, George, and I started our company in 2020 from our bedrooms. Now we have an office, more than 15 staff and five vans on the road at all times. You’ve got to love what you do in this industry. There have certainly been a few memorable trauma jobs. We had a situation where someone had died and been left in the property for four months before anyone realised. We suited up and put on our PPE, with full face masks. When we went in, there were flies everywhere.
I went to a property where an ex-partner had broken in and written messages in blood on the walls. That was very strange. We’ve been to properties where we opened the front door and waste was piled up so far above our heads that we couldn’t even get through. A while ago George walked into a house and all we could hear was a huge crunch. When we pulled up the carpet, we saw loads of maggots underneath. It ended up with us cutting out the floorboards.
