Odour Removal Formby
Odour Removal Company for Houses, Flats, Shops and Offices
Smell Removal for Pet, Smoke, Food and Damp Smells
- Unmarked vehicles
- Fully insured
- Covering Formby
No Mess Too Much runs a professional odour removal service in Formby and the surrounding area, covering Liverpool, the Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley and St Helens. We treat unpleasant smells in houses, flats, shops, offices and other commercial premises. We find the source and fix it, so the smell does not come back.
Candles and sprays hide a bad smell for an hour or two. As an odour removal company, we go after the cause and remove it for good.
Smell goneAfter a fire in Formby
Formby has its own Merseyside Fire & Rescue community fire station. After a fire, even a small one in a kitchen or garage, smoke and soot can travel through a large house and settle in rooms far from the flames.
We clean from ceilings down, lift soot without smearing it, deodorise carpets, soft furnishings and loft spaces, and keep a photo record for your insurer. If you are still living in part of the house, we work around you.
Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service offers free home fire safety checks on 0800 731 5958, for yourself, a neighbour or a relative, which is worth booking for an older relative once the house is back to normal.
Which Homes and Businesses Does Our Odour Removal Service Help?
Professional odour removal services are available for residential and commercial properties, and ours cover both.
Houses, Flats and Rental Properties
+Homeowners call us when a pet has soiled the carpets, or smoking has left a stale smell in the walls. Letting agents and landlords book us before a new tenant moves in, because unwanted odours lose viewings fast. We also treat period homes in Liverpool and Southport, where old floorboards and plaster soak up odours.
Shops, Offices and Other Commercial Buildings
+We also offer commercial odour removal for restaurants, shops, offices, salons, care homes and clinics. Retail units and commercial buildings that sit empty for weeks often pick up a stale, musty smell, and customers notice unpleasant odours the second they walk in. We can book evening or weekend visits to minimise downtime.
Who we helpWhat Causes Persistent Odours in a Property?
Pet Urine and Its Smell in Carpets and Sofas
+Pet urine contains uric acid, and it bonds to the surface it lands on. Uric acid crystals sit inside carpets, mattresses and soft furnishings, and ordinary shampooing does not break them down. Not every pet home has this problem, but when it does, the cause often sits in the padding underneath.
Smoke Particles From Cigarettes and Fires
+Smoke particles from fires can linger and cause persistent odours. Cigarette smoke can sink far into materials, and soot leaves lingering odours long after the flames are out. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service's recorded incidents from 1 January to 1 December 2022 included 870 dwelling fires, out of 17,349 incidents in total.
Mould, Damp and Flooding
+Mould breaks down organic material and gives off microbial volatile organic compounds, which is where the musty smell comes from. Flooding causes odours too, because bacteria break down organic matter in wet carpets and furniture. Across England, 5% of homes, around 1.4 million, had a damp problem in 2024.
Food Odours in Kitchens and Takeaways
+Food odours soak into ceilings, walls and upholstery. Grease holds on to them, so these persistent odours return each time the kitchen heats up.
What causes itHow Are Odours Permanently Removed From a Property?
Odours go for good when we remove the source. Effective odour removal never relies on simply masking a smell with fragrance. Our professional odour removal services target the root cause in four steps.
We Start With an Initial Assessment to Find the Source
+Inspection and source identification come first. We check floors, walls, voids, ventilation systems and furniture to identify what holds the smell. If we suspect a hidden cause, we recommend further investigation.
We Remove the Source and Carry Out Deep Cleaning
+Next, we completely remove whatever holds the smell. Deep cleaning removes odour-causing particles embedded in surfaces, starting with carpets, floors and walls in the affected areas. Standard cleaning does not reach that far.
We Treat the Air and Surfaces at a Molecular Level
+Treatment deals with what is left in the air and in porous surfaces. It works at a molecular level, so odour molecules break apart and stop smelling. Air fresheners only mask the problem.
We Restore Air Quality and Check the Result
+Ventilation and air-quality restoration are integral to effective odour removal. We ventilate every treated room, run air scrubbers where needed and check indoor air quality. Then we walk the property with you to restore freshness and confirm it is smelling fresh.
Odour Removal Lasts Only if the Cause Is Fixed
+If odour problems keep returning, a leak, damp patch or blocked drain may be feeding them. Odour treatment does not remove the underlying cause of damp, mould, drainage leaks or sewage problems. We tell you what needs repairing, then we treat the smell.
Removed for goodWhich Methods Does Our Odour Removal Process Use?
The methods we use to eliminate stubborn odours include ozone treatment and thermal fogging, backed up by cleaning and air scrubbing. Most jobs use more than one method.
Ozone Treatment and Hydroxyl Generators for Sealed Spaces
+Professional odour removal can use ozone technology to eliminate odours. Ozone generators treat sealed spaces by oxidising odour-causing compounds. This ozone treatment neutralises them at a molecular level.
Hydroxyl generators produce hydroxyl radicals that break down chemical bonds in the same compounds. Both rely on chemical breakdown, not perfume.
Thermal Fogging and Chemical Neutralisation
+Thermal fogging can neutralise smoke odours. Chemical neutralisation uses products that react with odour-causing compounds, so we can neutralise smells that sit in fabric.
Enzymatic and Antimicrobial Treatments
+Enzymatic treatments break down the organic matter that causes odours. They also break down uric acid crystals in urine, which is why we use them for pet odour removal.
Professional odour removal uses advanced disinfection and sanitisation techniques. Specialised enzymatic and antimicrobial treatments target the microorganisms that cause smells.
Air Scrubbing, Sealing and Encapsulation
+Air scrubbing with activated-carbon filters captures gas molecules and volatile organic compounds. Where a smell has soaked into bare wood or plasterboard, sealing and encapsulation may be necessary. Heavy cases need this kind of specialist treatment.
Our methodsDo You Need to Leave the Property During Our Odour Removal Service?
It depends on the method. For ozone work, yes. For most cleaning work, no.
Ozone Work Needs an Empty Property
+Ozone is unsafe to breathe. People, pets and plants must be out while the generator runs. We seal the space, run the treatment and ventilate before anyone goes back in.
Cleaning and Enzyme Work Usually Lets You Stay
+For carpet cleaning or an enzyme treatment that will remove odours, you can often stay in rooms we are not working in. We treat only the affected areas, and commercial sites can stay open away from the work.
When Is It Safe to Re-Enter the Property?
+Once the treatment ends and we have aired the rooms, we tell you when you can re-enter. Often that is the same day, and sometimes it is the next morning.
Leaving the propertyWhy Do Formby Customers Choose No Mess Too Much?
Our professional odour removal services come with a fully trained team, professional equipment and a clear plan. We give you a price before we start, and the results speak for themselves in our reviews.
As a specialist cleaning company, our odour removal specialists pick the right method for your property, not the cheapest one for us. If a smell needs another trade first, we say so.
Why choose usHow Much Does Odour Removal Cost in Formby?
These are our rough prices based on recent projects. Our odour removal service is priced by size and source.
- Pet odour removal from carpets and upholstery: £100 to £200 for one carpeted room or a large sofa
- Ozone treatment for a small home or flat: £150 to £500, with £350 as a typical price
- Smoke odour removal in one or two rooms: £300 to £1,500, with £750 as a typical price
- Full multi-stage treatment for a whole home, with cleaning, fogging and ozone: £1,000 to £2,000
- Small offices and shops: £250 to £500
- Restaurants and larger shops: £500 to £800
- Large industrial or warehouse buildings: £800 to £2,000 or more
What Changes the Price of Odour Removal?
Size comes first, then how strong the smell is. A larger blaze can cost £2,000 to £6,000 because the work goes well beyond the smell.
The price is a rough guide and the actual cost varies from project to project. Please use our contact form for an accurate quote.
When Does a Smell Need More Than Odour Removal?
For fire, sewage, decomposition or biological contamination, we treat odour removal as one stage of a wider specialist cleaning and remediation process.
After a blaze, smoke damage and soot need professional fire damage cleaning before any fogging or ozone, and fire damage often needs repair work. Water damage needs drying first. A strong smell from sewage or a death in a property is a serious problem, and our specialist teams handle that sewage cleanup or after death sewage cleanup or after death cleaning before we treat the odour.
Do You Need Professional Help for Damp and Mould Smells?
Yes, if the bad smell keeps coming back. We can treat the musty odour, but someone has to fix the damp or leak that feeds it.

Free quoteQuestions about odour removal in Formby
Straight answers from the people who do the work.
How much does an odour removal service cost in Formby and the surrounding area?
An odour removal service in Formby and the surrounding area costs from £100 to £200 for pet odour removal in one carpeted room or a large sofa, up to £1,000 to £2,000 for a full multi-stage treatment of a whole home. Prices depend on the size of the property and the source of the smell. This is a rough guide and the actual cost varies, so please use our contact form for an accurate quote.
How are odours permanently removed from a property?
Odours are permanently removed from a property by finding and eliminating the source, never by masking the smell with fragrance. We assess the property, remove the source and deep clean, treat the air and surfaces at a molecular level, then restore air quality and check the result. The fix only lasts if any underlying cause, such as a leak or damp patch, is repaired too.
Do I need to leave my property during odour removal?
You need to leave your property during ozone odour removal, but usually not during cleaning or enzyme work. Ozone is unsafe to breathe, so people, pets and plants must be out while the generator runs, and we ventilate before anyone returns. For cleaning and enzyme treatments, you can often stay in rooms we are not working in.
Can professional odour removal get rid of pet urine smells?
Professional odour removal can get rid of pet urine smells in carpets and sofas. Urine contains uric acid, which bonds to surfaces and sits in carpets, mattresses and soft furnishings, and ordinary shampooing does not break it down. Our enzymatic treatments do break down those uric acid crystals, even where the cause sits in the padding underneath.
Can odour removal get rid of cigarette and fire smoke smells?
Odour removal can get rid of cigarette and fire smoke smells using methods such as thermal fogging, ozone treatment and deep cleaning. After a blaze, smoke damage and soot need cleaning before any fogging or ozone, and fire damage often needs repair work. Smoke odour removal in one or two rooms costs £300 to £1,500, with £750 as a typical price, though this is a rough guide and the actual cost varies.
Why does a damp or musty smell keep coming back?
A damp or musty smell keeps coming back when the leak, damp patch or blocked drain feeding it has not been repaired. We can treat the musty odour, but odour treatment does not remove the underlying cause of damp, mould, drainage leaks or sewage problems. We advise on what needs repairing first, then treat the smell.
