Why it matters
What to take seriously, and why.
- Prompt InterventionAddressing property issues early avoids compound structural damage, expensive repairs, or escalated environmental hazards.
- Certified SafetyProfessional equipment and certified products guarantee compliance with UK environmental and health regulations.
- Long-Term ResolutionA diagnostic approach targets the root cause rather than applying temporary superficial remedies.
- Gaps and access pointsRats can fit through gaps as small as 15–20mm (roughly a thumb's width), so unsealed pipework entries, damaged airbricks, and door gaps are realistic routes.
- Accessible foodOpen bins, pet food left out overnight, bird feeders with heavy spillage, compost heaps with food waste, and uncollected fallen fruit.
- Shelter and warmthCluttered sheds, dense ivy, cavity walls, and insulated lofts all provide undisturbed shelter, especially as temperatures fall.
- Nearby infrastructureProximity to drains, sewers, or waterways can bring rats into a wider neighborhood regardless of individual property upkeep.
Price
One fixed price, confirmed before you book.
What changes the price
- Property typeTerraced homes sharing party walls raise different considerations than detached units since activity can move across buildings.
- Extent of activityAn isolated sighting is a different job than signs across multiple rooms or an established nest.
- AccessLoft hatches, external void access, and whether areas are communal or private all affect treatment.
- ConstructionOlder buildings with suspended timber floors often have more rat routes than modern solid floors.
- Time of yearAutumn and winter see higher indoor activity as rodents seek shelter from cold weather.
How it works
What happens, step by step.
- AssessmentA walk-through of the affected areas to confirm activity, identify likely entry points, and understand the extent of the problem — inside or outside.
- Treatment planningThe approach is matched to what's actually found, rather than applied as a single default method regardless of circumstances.
- ImplementationTreatment is carried out, with any access, safety, or timing considerations (pets, children, food storage) accounted for beforehand.
- Follow-up & GuaranteeA further visit confirms whether activity has genuinely stopped, with written documentation and proofing guidance provided.

Where do silverfish live?
They are often reported in humid or sheltered areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, cupboards and storage spaces.
Are silverfish linked to damp?
Moisture and humidity can make a property more suitable for silverfish, so these conditions are useful to mention.
What affects treatment cost?
