Professional Pest Proofing in Blackheath
Proofing a Blackheath property has a complication most areas do not have. A large part of the older housing sits in a conservation area and some of it is listed, which means work to the outside of the building is not simply a matter of choosing a material and getting on with it.
Consent Comes Before Sealant
Alterations affecting the external appearance of a listed building, and some external work in a conservation area, can require consent. That is a planning matter rather than a pest control one, and it is not something we are going to guess at on your behalf. Where a proofing repair on a period frontage looks like it needs permission, we will say so and describe the work clearly enough for you to take proper advice or instruct a builder who deals with consents.
A great deal of useful proofing is nowhere near that line - service pipe entries under a sink, a kickboard void open to the subfloor, a gap under a door that no longer meets its threshold, a broken air brick that needs a proper cover. That work goes ahead normally.
Proofing does not mean sealing a building up. Air bricks, vents and underfloor ventilation keep a building dry, and a period property depends on them more than a modern one. Openings get correctly covered, never filled in.
How Much Does Pest Proofing Cost in Blackheath?
Nothing is added for Blackheath, and nothing is quoted differently on the doorstep.
The full explanation of how this service is priced, and what is included, is on the Pest Proofing Greenwich page.
Signs You May Need Pest Proofing in Blackheath
The full list is on the Pest Proofing Greenwich page.
- Gaps where service pipes and cables pass through walls and floors - under sinks, behind washing machines, at meter boxes and at boiler flues.
- Air bricks with broken, missing or oversized openings, fitted with proper covers rather than blocked up, because they are ventilating the building for a reason.
- Kickboard voids under fitted kitchen units that are open to the subfloor behind.
How We Deal With Pest Proofing in Blackheath
After a rodent treatment we describe every route we found and what closing it would involve, then you decide - our proofing time, your own builder, or a specialist where the frontage needs one.

Coming soonFrequently Asked Questions – Pest Proofing Blackheath
My house is in the conservation area. Can you still proof it?
The internal and unobtrusive work, yes. Anything affecting the external appearance of a listed building, or some external work in a conservation area, may need consent - we will tell you when we think you have reached that line rather than quietly doing the work.
How much does pest proofing cost in Blackheath?
£180, up to 1 hour - the same published figure everywhere we cover.
How do I know whether I have rats and mice?
Proofing follows a treatment rather than replacing one. If rodents have been dealt with and you want to stop the next lot getting in through the same opening, this is the service.
Do you help landlords and rental properties?
Yes. A great deal of Blackheath's period housing is let as flats in converted houses, and we take enquiries from landlords, letting agents, managing agents and tenants alike.
Can businesses arrange treatment?
Yes. The Village and the Standard have a good number of independent shops and food premises, and commercial enquiries are welcome.
How do I arrange a visit?
Call us and say which room the activity is in, whether the property is a house or a flat in a converted house, and whether your neighbours have noticed the same thing. For proofing, tell us what has been treated and which entry points were identified.
