£240 for the whole programme. In an older house most of the inspection happens below the floor and around the drains.
The complete programme: inspection inside and out including the subfloor where accessible, treatment placed where the activity is, follow-up visits, and written proofing advice.
It is not per visit and not per rat. Pest proofing is separate at £180.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Visit 1 | Full inspection — kitchen, under-sink, subfloor void, cellar, loft, drainage, garden. Entry points recorded. Treatment placed. |
| Visit 2 | Activity assessed. Treatment checked and replenished. Placement adjusted to actual activity. |
| Further visits | Repeated until activity ceases. Usually two to three weeks. |
| Final | Confirmation, written account of entry points, and proofing recommendations. |
An older property takes longer to inspect properly. That is time rather than extra cost.
If you take one thing from this page, it is this.
People assume rats under the floor will come up eventually. Often they do not — they have everything they need down there, and the damage is to cabling and insulation rather than the cupboards.

Yes. It is the house price.
We work with what there is — airbricks, a cellar, gaps at the perimeter. We will tell you if access is genuinely the limiting factor.
Same price. The approach differs, so the identification matters.
A wasp nest in an older soffit is £90 fixed cost in Pinner, guaranteed for 30 days.

A suspended timber floor sits over a ventilated void that runs under most of the ground floor. It is dark, dry and undisturbed, and rats do not need to enter the living space at all.
Usually a cracked or missing airbrick, or a failed drainage run. Both are common in older property.
Where there is safe access — a hatch, a lifted board or a cellar. We do not take up fitted flooring.
Older private runs are longer with more joints, and clay pipework fails over decades. Proofing cannot fix it — it needs a drainage contractor and usually a camera survey.
Yes. The right placement is also the least accessible, which makes an older property with a void easier to treat safely than a modern one.
No. £240 is the house price whatever the size.
Note where and when you hear activity, photograph any droppings, seal stored food, and locate any subfloor hatch.
