£50 separates the two prices. What actually differs is not the severity of the problem but the property — and in one important respect the flat is the harder job.
A flat is £190. A house is £240. The £50 difference reflects the size and layout of the property, not how bad the problem is.
The counterintuitive part: a flat costs less to treat but is often the harder situation, because cockroaches move between units and your treatment only covers your property.
| Flat — £190 | House — £240 | |
|---|---|---|
| Rooms to work through | Fewer | More |
| Appliance clusters | Usually one (kitchen) | Often two (kitchen + utility) |
| Ground-floor perimeter | Limited or none | Full perimeter |
| Service penetrations | Fewer | More |
| Garage or outbuilding | Rare | Common |

In a house, treating the property generally deals with the problem. In a block of flats, cockroaches move freely between units through riser cupboards, service voids and the gaps around pipework. You can treat your flat completely successfully and have activity return from a neighbouring property that was never treated.
A house at £240 is usually a job that ends. A flat at £190 is sometimes a job that has to be repeated, because the source was never inside your front door.
Worth stating, because these are the things people expect to be charged extra for:
If a property falls materially outside the normal scope of the service, we will say so before any work is arranged rather than adjusting the invoice afterwards.
If this is a restaurant, kitchen, takeaway or food retail business, neither of these prices applies. Commercial requirements vary far too much for a published figure, and documentation for an audit or inspection is frequently as important as the treatment itself.
