£190 for the programme. In a converted period building the harder question is whether the cockroaches are only yours.
£190 for the complete programme, including the follow-up visits needed to cover the egg-case cycle.
In a converted flat, cockroaches can travel between units along original floor voids, service runs chased into solid walls, and a shared chimney stack — which changes who should pay.
A conversion behaves differently from a purpose-built block, and differently again from a house.
If more than one flat is affected it is a building problem, and normally the freeholder's or managing agent's to coordinate rather than yours to solve alone.
A period house divided into flats keeps all the connections it had when it was one house. The conversion added walls, not seals.

Along original floor voids, service runs chased into solid walls, a shared chimney stack, boxed pipework and communal areas.
A period house divided into flats keeps all the connections it had when it was one house. The conversion added walls, not seals.
It will clear your flat. Whether it stays clear depends on whether the rest of the building is clear.
A communal source is normally the freeholder's or managing agent's responsibility.
Cockroaches survive weeks without food but only days without water. Removing the moisture source is often the easier lever.
Report it in writing with photographs. A leak or structural route can engage the landlord's repairing obligations.
Clear the cupboards we ask about, remove cardboard entirely, seal food, fix any leak, and do not deep-clean the harbourage first.
