£180 for up to one hour on suitable small holes. The more useful question is whether proofing is what you actually need — or whether you need treatment first.
Pest proofing costs £180 and covers up to one hour of work on suitable small holes. It is a separate service from treatment and is not included in any treatment price.
If you have an active rodent problem right now, proofing is not the service to book first. That is the single most important thing on this page.
| Your situation | What you need | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings, noises or sightings happening now | Treatment first | £190 flat / £240 house |
| Problem dealt with, want to stop it recurring | Proofing | £180 |
| Active problem and obvious gaps | Both — treatment first | £370 flat / £420 house |
| No history of pests, want prevention | Proofing | £180 |
| Rodents in the garden only, none indoors | Possibly neither yet | — |
That last row is not a typo. Not every sighting requires a service, and we would rather say so than take the booking.
Sealing a building that still has rodents inside it does not get rid of them. It shuts them in.
A rat that cannot get out will gnaw at whatever stands between it and the outside — cabling, pipework, plasterwork, door frames. And then there is a dead rat inside a wall cavity that nobody can reach.
Treatment first, proofing second. Every time.
One hour of work on suitable small holes: the openings that are accessible and appropriate to seal with pest-proofing materials. In practice that usually means:
Tell us what is happening now and we will tell you whether it is treatment, proofing, both, or neither yet.
Ask us →Rodents pass through remarkably small gaps and will gnaw a small opening into a usable one. The common routes on a domestic property:
A survey identifies which apply to your property. It is rarely all of them, and rarely the one people expect.
Mice get through smaller gaps than rats. Proofing carried out against rats will not necessarily exclude mice, so if mice are also a concern, say so — it changes what needs sealing.
For a rental property, £180 once is generally cheaper than a second treatment plus another round of tenant disruption a few months later. Combined figures are £370 for a flat and £420 for a house, published so the decision can be made without a quotation stage.
Published prices, no quotation stage, written confirmation where you need it.
Landlord pest control →£180 for up to one hour on suitable small holes.
No. It is a separate service, priced separately, because not every property needs it.
After. Sealing a building that still has rodents inside it makes the problem worse, not better.
Up to one hour of work on suitable small holes — typically gaps around incoming pipework and cabling, small holes in mortar, worn door thresholds and damaged air bricks.
Structural repair. A collapsed drain or a hole needing bricklaying is building work rather than pest control, and we will tell you if that is what you are looking at.
Not necessarily — mice pass through smaller gaps. Mention mice if they are also a concern, because it changes what needs sealing.
No, and nobody honestly can about a building. Proofing reduces the likely routes in; it does not make a house sealed.
You will be told before the work is done, not discovered afterwards on an invoice.
Tell us whether you have an active problem now or whether it has been dealt with and you want to stop it recurring.
