A decontamination apparatus for decontaminating an external surface comprising:

• a moveable platform;
• a containment structure mounted on the moveable platform;
• wherein the containment structure comprises:
• at least one aperture;
• and
• a respective contact surface arranged around the perimeter of the at least one aperture,
• wherein the contact surface is arranged to form a barrier with the external surface to define a working volume, when the containment structure is positioned proximal to an external surface;
• and
• wherein the contact surface comprises one or more hinges;
• and
