Hackness Cleaning Services Ltd
For good value, responsive and reliable cleaning services.
Hackness Cleaning Services – have been called out to clean up some unusual jobs in the past. This one involved removing smells and mess made by bats that are living in a church. Because bats are an endanged species they can’t be harmed in any way or made to move on to other shelters. The smell and mess was preventing the church goers from using the church for weddings and other functions.
Hackness cleaning in Scarborough were called to clean and disinfect the church which is done on a regular basis so that the church can be used again. This was televised on the BBC website and the full report can be seen here.

“St Hilda’s church in North Yorkshire has become the roosting place for bats, which has turned many worshippers away from the building.
Bat droppings and wider health and safety concerns have meant that the church had not been able to hold a wedding ceremony for over 12 years.

A Church in Yorkshire is infested with bats… and can’t take much more. And of course, it being Britain, the bats can’t be driven out- so the people are leaving. Bats, after all, being far more important than people and their roosting far more important than the ministry of the Church… leads up to trauma cleaning the church.

Clean up maintenance was the only way to keep the church clean and smelling nice for the church goers. Part of our services is crime scene clean up where we got some very different jobs to do here. It looks like the cleaning will need to be done periodically to keep the bat mess at bat and allow for weddings to go ahead again in this beautiful church in North Yorkshire.
