Operator training
On-site training and competency sign-off. Only staff we have trained and deemed competent may operate the unit.
Shropshire & West Midlands Office
Lease a Sanondaf machine.
Respond in minutes, not days.
We lease validated touchless disinfection machines to approved registered organisations for use across their own group sites, operated by their own specifically trained staff. The same technology is leased and used by our hybrid service teams across NHS England and Scotland, county councils and some of the UK's largest companies and institutions. Routine programmes or immediate emergency application — without waiting for anyone to arrive.

Why lease
Decontamination capability inside your own estate
Some organisations cannot wait for a contractor. A leased machine puts validated whole-space disinfection in the hands of your own trained staff — so a confirmed outbreak, spill or product hold is contained the same hour it is reported, on any site named in your agreement. If you are unsure how to handle a particular event, we can attend with a couple of machines at a reduced rate to help organise, supervise or run the first treatment alongside your team.
Calibration & warranty
Two calibration and inspection visits a year, full warranty throughout the lease, and malfunction callouts included.
Chemical supply
Approved disinfectant supplied in 20-litre increments. No other chemical may be used in the machine.
Response time & cost per room
Five minutes, not six to twenty-four hours
- Leased machine on site
- 5 minutes
- Calling anyone out
- 6–24 hours
- Your cost per room
- from ≈ £10 + VAT
Seal the room, set the volume, start the cycle. Re-entry usually inside the hour.
Report it, wait for a slot, travel, estates and sign-in, then unload and move equipment to the area.
Two rooms a day is around 60 a month: from £500 lease payment + VAT ÷ 60 = £8.33, plus the chemical used. One attended callout is from £495–£1,095.
At that price you stop waiting for an outbreak to justify the spend — you can plan rather than react. Rooms get treated during normal downtime, and the areas that never made the budget finally get covered: the offices as well as the labs, the canteen as well as the operating theatres.

One trained team. Fewer hand-offs.
For your organisation, a machine already on site means approved areas can be treated on your timetable. In an urgent situation, a trained colleague may be able to start within around ten minutes once the area is prepared — while an external booking may still be awaiting a quote, approval or arrival. Your own signed-off team follows your site standards rather than having to brief a new visitor on them each time.
Stage
External visit
Machine on site
Arrange
Find availability, agree a quote and authorise the job or purchase order.
Your trained operator follows the agreed site procedure.
Access
Wait for arrival, then arrange sign-in, induction, access and an escort.
The machine and trained colleague are already on site.
Treat
Brief the provider, stay available, then check the work against your site standards.
Prepare and clear the area, then follow a familiar, approved treatment cycle.
Close out
Sign out, review the report and process the invoice for the visit.
Record the treatment and follow dwell and safe re-entry rules.
In-house does not mean skipping safeguards: cleaning first, trained operators, your risk assessment, exclusion, dwell time, re-entry checks and a treatment record still apply. A room may be ready within the hour where the validated process and site conditions allow; this is not a guaranteed turnaround.
Complements the process already in place
Clean as you do now, then close the task with an additional disinfection pass
This does not replace cleaning, descaling, waste removal or physical biofilm removal. Once that work is complete, a selected trained operator can use the electrostatic sprayer for an additional broad-spectrum disinfection step. For a small item or defined work area, it may add only around one minute to the existing process.
Clean first
Existing cleaning, descaling, waste removal and physical biofilm removal stay exactly where they belong in the process.
Add broad-spectrum coverage
A selected trained operator uses the electrostatic sprayer on the cleaned item or defined area as a quick additional disinfection step.
Close and record the task
Log the area, date, operator and machine, creating a consistent record that complements the organisation’s existing paperwork.
A solid, documentable close to the process
The treatment can be logged against the area, date, operator and machine, then included in a dated certificate or grouped report. Supervisors gain evidence that the conventional clean was followed by a consistent additional disinfection step. Site procedures, manufacturer instructions and current sector requirements always take precedence.

Compliance
Detailed responses for detailed risk assessments
Infection outbreaks rarely wait for paperwork, but auditors do. Every leased machine programme is supported with method statements, risk assessments, operator competency records, chemical safety data sheets and certification templates for your own treatment records.
- RAMS and safe operating procedures supplied
- Chemical indicator validation guidance
- Exclusion, PPE and re-entry protocols
- Certificate of decontamination templates
- Operator training and competency sign-off
- Twice-yearly calibration and inspection records
Peace of mind, made visible
Preventative treatment your customers and inspectors can actually see
- Disinfection certificates
- Log each treatment and issue a dated certificate to display in reception and customer areas — proof that preventative measures are routine.
- 8kg, one person, minutes
- The fogger is hand-carried at just 8kg — no wheels rolling contamination out of an affected area, and it fits rooms of any size.
- No additional staff cost
- Staff you already employ are trained by us, and the routine or emergency role is built into their existing job description and rota.
- Future proofed
- Whatever the next virus or outbreak turns out to be, the capability is already on your premises. See the research and case studies.
Included with every lease · coming October 2026
Your own leasing account area — documents, payment schedule and machine training in one place
Leasing should not mean chasing paperwork. From October 2026 every lease client gets a private, password-protected account area at no extra cost. It is built around the two questions we get asked most: where does the account stand, and how exactly do we look after the machines?
Your signed leases and dates, in one place
Open the signed lease document itself, see the start and end dates, machine count and monthly figure, and get a warning well before a term ends.
A payment schedule with a traffic light on every month
Every payment for the full length of the lease is laid out in advance — green for received, amber for due, red for missed. No guessing where the account stands, and you can request a copy of any invoice in one click.
How-to and maintenance library for your machines
Step-by-step operating instructions and the after-use, weekly and monthly maintenance schedule for both the fogger and the electrostatic sprayer — with troubleshooting, so a new starter is competent the same shift.
Request extra machines without an email chain
Raise a request for another machine on a site, and it reaches us immediately for authorisation and a delivery date. You can see exactly where the request has got to.
Card and direct debit payments are not taken in the account area — invoicing stays with our accounts process. The schedule simply shows what is due and what has been received.
Fits your existing process
It blends into the cleaning schedule you already run
Your own janitors, cleaning staff or housekeepers build fogging into their normal daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual rounds. There is no separate programme to manage and no new headcount — the machine simply travels with the round.
- Step 1
Finish the clean as normal
Your team completes the standard cleaning process exactly as they do today — nothing is removed from the existing method or routine.
- Step 2
Drop the machine in, sign on the door
Set the volume, start the cycle and hang a small do-not-enter card showing the safe entry time. The room is then working on its own.
- Step 3
Leapfrog to the next room
Move on and clean the next room. When that one is done, the machine moves into it and the previous room reopens — a simple rolling leapfrog down the corridor.
- Step 4
Seconds per room, not minutes
Done this way it adds only a few seconds of handling per room, and each of those rooms gets a full hospital-grade decontamination rather than a surface wipe.
Where we can lease
UK-wide support, coordinated from Shropshire and the West Midlands
Your lease, training and ongoing support is coordinated from the Shropshire & West Midlands office, backed by the wider Sanondaf support network across the UK and further afield. If your group has sites elsewhere, a machine can very often be leased there too, with the same training, calibration and preventative treatment programme — so one policy covers every site rather than one region.
United Kingdom & Islands
- 12 offices across the UK, plus a further six in Scotland
- Coverage across many areas of Northern Ireland and Wales
- Channel Islands
International offices able to lease
- Iceland
- Malta

- Mexico
- South Africa
- USA
New regions and countries are opening every few months. Tell us where your sites are and we will confirm what can be covered today.
Prefer us to attend?
We also treat sites in person — across Shropshire and the West Midlands
If leasing is not right for your organisation, our trained infection control operators can attend and carry out the treatment for you, on a routine programme or as an emergency callout. Our attended teams have also worked on marine vessels and platforms including Marine Scotland offshore patrol vessels and research vessel MV Scotia, CalMac ferries, Stena Line and Western Ferries. That side of the business is handled at shropshirecleaners.expert.
