£190 flat, £240 house, £180 proofing. Wealdstone has a lot of flats and rented property, and rats behave differently in a converted building — here is what that means for both the price and the outcome.
£190 for a flat and £240 for a house. Pest proofing for suitable small holes is a separate £180, covering up to one hour.
Published prices, so a tenant, a landlord or an owner can all find the cost without making an enquiry first.

A large share of the rat calls we take in this area come from flats and converted houses, and it is worth being honest about what that means.
In a converted or purpose-built block, rats move through the structure rather than through individual properties. Service voids, boxed pipe runs, riser cupboards, ceiling voids and shared drainage all connect one flat to the next. So the rat you can hear may not be living in your property at all.
Your treatment deals with your flat. If the population is in the communal riser or the shared drain, it will be back — and no amount of money spent inside your own front door changes that.

View Rat Control Wealdstone →Worth its own section, because it explains a large proportion of recurring rat problems in older terraces and converted flats.
Rats use drainage systems and are strong swimmers. A cracked, collapsed or disused drain run gives direct access into a building's underfloor void — and in a terrace or a conversion sharing a drain run, that route is shared too.
Signs worth noting: recurring problems with no visible surface entry, activity concentrated around a ground-floor toilet or soil stack, or a property with known drainage history. Where we suspect it, we will say so — and the fix is a drainage contractor with a camera survey, not more treatment.
More rooms, more ground-floor perimeter, usually a loft, often a garage or shed, and a garden with a boundary on the other side. More property to work through.

The practical benefit is that a tenant's report can be authorised in the same phone call rather than after a survey — and with rodents the damage accrues while everyone waits.
For a flat in a block, it is also worth establishing early whether the problem is yours alone. Paying for a treatment every six months because the source is in the communal riser is an expensive way to manage a building problem.
£180 for up to one hour on suitable small holes. For a flat that means sealing the gaps where pipework and cabling enter your property — which is precisely the route in a converted building.

Treat your own property, report it in writing to the landlord or managing agent, and ask whether drainage and communal areas have been checked.
Frequently, in older terraces and conversions. A cracked or disused drain gives direct access, and the fix is a drainage contractor rather than more treatment.
