D & D’s Cleaning and Remediation

06/06/2026

Last night we attended the awards ceremony and although we didn't come home with an award, we came home feeling incredibly proud.

Just being shortlisted was a huge achievement for us and a reminder of how far D & D's Cleaning and Remediation has come in a relatively short space of time.

We had a fantastic night celebrating alongside so many other local businesses and our friends and family (a few sore heads today)

A huge thank you to our clients, staff, family, and everyone who has supported us on this journey. Your trust means the world to us.

Congratulations to all of the winners and finalists. A big thank you to DG Chamber for a fantastic night.

Hoarding Awareness Week is an opportunity to increase understanding, challenge stigma, and promote compassionate support for individuals affected by hoarding behaviours. Hoarding is a complex issue that is often linked to trauma, bereavement, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.

This week encourages communities, professionals, and families to recognise that recovery takes time, patience, and trust. With the right support, individuals can make meaningful progress toward creating safer living environments while maintaining dignity and control over their decisions.

At D&D’s Cleaning and Remediation Ltd, we understand how overwhelming it can feel to allow others into your home. Many people feel embarrassed, ashamed, or fearful of being judged. Our approach is always sensitive, respectful, and non-judgemental.

We understand behaviours and work at a pace that feels right for the individual. We take time to build trust and support each person to make their home safer, healthier, and more manageable, while ensuring they remain in control throughout the process.

Not only are we trusted, we work alongside side multi disciplinary teams and offer a range of supports tailored to each persons needs, wishes and goals to regain safe and comfortable living environments.

If you, a family member, or someone you support could benefit from compassionate support, please get in touch.

This week is National Hoarding Awareness Week, and as part of our role in the Dumfries and Galloway Public Protection Partnership, the council is raising awareness of hoarding disorder, because it can impact people’s safety, health and wellbeing at home.

Hoarding is not a lifestyle choice. It is a recognised mental health condition, often linked to trauma, loss or emotional distress.

Hoarding can create serious risks, including fire hazards, unsafe or blocked access to essential areas like kitchens and bathrooms, or increased risk to both the individual and others (including neighbours and emergency responders).

Around 2–6% of the UK population are estimated to be affected, but compassionate and person-centred support can help. If you are supporting someone who is hoarding, remember that forced clean ups can cause distress and harm trust. Instead, take time to listen, build trust gradually, focus on safety and encourage small, manageable steps.

If you are worried about yourself or someone else, you can contact our Social Work Single Access Point on 0303 333 3001.

We are absolutley delighted with this 😁
We have been shortlisted to the final 3 for most promising new business.

It has been the most incredible year with lots of behind the scenes learning and hard work to create a business we are so proud of.

We have had the privilege of getting to know so many other amazing businesses over the last year at various events and training and it will be a fantastic night to not only acknowledge our own achievement but also all the other businesses.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank every person who has supported us since beginning D & D's Cleaning and Remediation. A special thanks to DG Chamber, South of Scotland Enterprise and Business Gateway - Dumfries & Galloway for the amazing support for businesses in D&G, through coaching, free training events, funding and the opportunity to meet others and build a support network. We cannot wait to see what the next year brings and are proud to support our community to live in safer and more comfortable environments.

Bring on the celebrations

Letting someone into your home isn’t a small decision.

Most people we speak to already know they need help…but are unsure about how it’s going to feel.

This client said it better than we ever could 👇

The biggest thing for us isn’t just the clean
it’s making sure people feel comfortable, in control, and not judged.

⚠️ 🩸 This is why biohazard cleaning needs to be done properly ⚠️🩸

This was a real situation we were called out to. When blood is involved, it’s not just about what you can see. There are risks beneath the surface that can seriously impact your health if it’s not handled correctly.

Blood and bodily fluids can carry harmful pathogens such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV, which aren’t visible to the eye but can survive on surfaces and pose a real risk if not handled correctly.

This type of clean requires specialist training, proper PPE, and the right products to make sure everything is fully sanitised and safe. It’s also never just “a clean”. Situations like this often come with a lot going on behind the scenes, and they need to be handled with care, respect, and zero judgement. That’s exactly what we do. If you ever find yourself dealing with something like this and don’t know where to start, message us and we can help.

Making this home safe and ready to return to

We are sharing this because we know how common this situation is behind closed doors.

This property needed to be made safe and ready for someone to return home from hospital.

It was about creating a space that felt manageable, somewhere someone could come back to safely and comfortably.

We worked through:
• Clearing pathways
• Removing waste
• Sanitising key areas
• Creating a space that could actually be used again

We know how overwhelming this can feel for individuals and families.
And for professionals, how important it is to have the right support in place to make things safe quickly.

We approach every job with care, respect, and no judgement.

We regularly support with situations like this, including preparing homes for hospital discharge, as well as other high-need environments.

Where possible, we’ll also visit the person in hospital beforehand to understand exactly what matters to them and how they want their home to feel when they return.

If you or someone you support needs help, message us for a confidential chat.

⚠️ Needle sweeps aren’t just about spotting needles ⚠️

When we carry out a needle sweep, this is the level of protection we use. These are specialist needle-resistant gloves designed to reduce the risk of a sharps injury, something standard gloves won’t protect against. In some environments, needles can be hidden in carpets, furniture, or within clutter. You don’t always see them before contact. A needle stick injury isn’t just a small cut. It can carry serious health risks, which is why this work has to be done properly. We’re trained to carry out sweeps safely, using the right equipment and processes to reduce risk as much as possible.
