UK-Based Specialists in Emergency Cleaning
APT ICC provides emergency cleaning services across England and Wales, supporting commercial and industrial organisations when urgent action is required. With more than 35 years of experience, we operate a controlled, assessment-led response designed to stabilise situations quickly while prioritising safety, compliance, and suitability for the site.
Emergency cleaning is required when an unexpected incident creates a risk to people, property, or the environment. This can include oil spills, chemical spills, material releases, flood damage, contamination events, or urgent deep cleaning and disinfection. These situations often need immediate attention to prevent the problem from spreading, causing injury, or shutting down operations for extended periods.
This type of service is also known as emergency spill response or emergency environmental cleaning. In simple terms, it means attending site at short notice, assessing what has happened, and carrying out the correct clean-up to make the area safe again. The key difference from planned cleaning is urgency, uncertainty, and the need to work under pressure without compromising safety or control.
APT ICC operates a 24/7 call-out service, allowing us to respond to incidents in industrial sites, commercial premises, public infrastructure, and live facilities. Every emergency is assessed on arrival to determine the type of contamination, the surfaces affected, and any immediate risks. This ensures the response is proportionate and effective, whether the issue involves oils, chemicals, floodwater, or other hazardous materials.
Our experience includes emergency cleaning projects across Wales and England, including oil spill clean-up works for Caerphilly Council following a bridge contamination incident, as well as a wide range of emergency spill and clean-up responses documented in our case studies. These projects often involve busy public areas or operational sites where safety, speed, and coordination are essential.
By choosing APT ICC for emergency cleaning, clients gain access to a trusted specialist with the experience to manage high-pressure situations calmly and correctly. Our focus is always on containment, safety, and restoring the site to a usable condition with minimal disruption and long-term risk.
“I would like to express my sincere thanks to APT for the excellent job they carried out at Tai Bach. The project was a much needed one and now that it is completed it has really helped to improve the look of the town. We have received many good comments from the public which is always a good sign.”
Kevin Hiller - Property Surveyor, Neath & Port Talbot Council
“We employed the services of APT to renovate a Grade 2 Listed Building. Under the directive of Cadw we were not allowed to use any wet process or chemicals within the interior of the building. APT used Soda Blasting on sandstone, brick, ceramic glazed tiles, metal work, paintwork on ceilings, coving, woodwork and ornate fixtures.
It was a great achievement to have one system for all the surfaces that needed cleaning and restoring and one that also ticked all the boxes of the environmental and conservation officers. The process saved us both time & money in being able to have just one company on site. We are very grateful to APT for their hard work on this project.”
Tim Luke - Gee Construction
“I would like to thank APT-ICC for their excellent work and assistance on the Barclays Bank project. They delivered the scheme and additional works on time and without issue thanks to Andrew and his team for all your extra effort, long hours and commitment. I look forward to using them on future renovations.”
Graham Lowe - Project Manager, Overbury Plc
“We have been receiving an overwhelming number of positive comments about the war memorial cleaning. Yesterday, during the small ceremony at the Penrallt column on the 1st World War anniversary, many expressed their appreciation for how splendid the memorial looks after the cleaning. We anticipate sharing photos on the internet page later this week. Additionally, we have shared your details with another person who serves as the clerk to two other local councils. Thank you once again for the exceptional work.”
