Why it matters

What to take seriously, and why.

  1. Prompt InterventionAddressing property issues early avoids compound structural damage, expensive repairs, or escalated environmental hazards.
  2. Certified SafetyProfessional equipment and certified products guarantee compliance with UK environmental and health regulations.
  3. 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.

What changes the price

  1. Property typeTerraced homes sharing party walls raise different considerations than detached units since activity can move across buildings.
  2. Extent of activityAn isolated sighting is a different job than signs across multiple rooms or an established nest.
  3. AccessLoft hatches, external void access, and whether areas are communal or private all affect treatment.
  4. ConstructionOlder buildings with suspended timber floors often have more rat routes than modern solid floors.
  5. Time of yearAutumn and winter see higher indoor activity as rodents seek shelter from cold weather.

How it works

What happens, step by step.

  1. AssessmentA walk-through of the affected areas to confirm activity, identify likely entry points, and understand the extent of the problem — inside or outside.
  2. Treatment planningThe approach is matched to what's actually found, rather than applied as a single default method regardless of circumstances.
  3. ImplementationTreatment is carried out, with any access, safety, or timing considerations (pets, children, food storage) accounted for beforehand.
  4. Follow-up & GuaranteeA further visit confirms whether activity has genuinely stopped, with written documentation and proofing guidance provided.

Prevention

Keep them out, after we leave.

  • Sealing access pointsWire mesh over airbricks, sealing pipe entries, repairing mortar, and fitting door sweeps.
  • Managing food sourcesSealed containers for pet food, secure bin lids, clearing fallen fruit, and managing bird feeders.
  • Reducing shelterKeeping garden vegetation and log piles away from base walls and inspecting lofts periodically.
  • Ongoing vigilanceCheck dark corners, boiler cupboards, and lofts periodically for early signs of droppings.

Our guarantee

1–3Month written guarantee

Questions

Where are cockroaches commonly found?
They are often reported in kitchens, bathrooms, cupboards, utility areas and around appliances where food, warmth or moisture are present.
How much does cockroach control cost?
Cockroach treatment starts from £119. Final cost depends on the extent of activity, affected areas, access and required follow-up.
Can cockroach treatment need more than one visit?
Yes. Further treatment may be needed depending on the infestation and the plan confirmed for the property.
Why is your price lower than other companies?
Because there is less between you and the team doing the work. You book us directly, so there is no agency taking a cut, no outsourced call centre, and no franchise fee going upstream every month. We also cluster jobs by area, so our teams spend less of the day travelling. The work, the equipment and the insurance are the same — the overhead is not.
