Eltham SE9
Professional Pest Proofing in Eltham
Eltham is where proofing does the most good, because the entry points here are usually findable and fixable. Interwar and 1930s houses have air bricks, suspended floors, integral garages and service pipes through external walls - a defined list of routes rather than a shared riser nobody controls.
A House You Can Actually Close
In a block, sealing one flat does not close the building. In a semi with a garden, the routes belong to the property and closing them genuinely works. That is why rodent problems in Eltham so often turn out to be seasonal rather than permanent, and why the proofing conversation is a productive one here instead of an academic one.
- Air bricks with broken, missing or oversized openings - fitted with proper covers rather than blocked up.
- Where service pipes and cables pass through external walls, especially at rear extension junctions.
- The gap under a garage side door and the door between an integral garage and the house.
- Kickboard voids under fitted kitchen units, open to the subfloor behind.
- Gaps under external doors that no longer meet their thresholds.
- Small holes in masonry and around window and door frames.
Air bricks get covered, never filled. They ventilate the suspended floor and blocking them causes damp. A defective or oversized air brick gets a proper cover so it still ventilates but no longer admits rodents.

Should proofing be done before or after treatment?
After. Sealing entry points while rodents are still inside traps them in the building, which is how a mouse problem becomes a smell in a wall cavity.
How much does pest proofing cost in Eltham?
£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. Eltham's estate housing includes a substantial rented sector and we take enquiries from landlords, letting agents and tenants.
Can businesses arrange treatment?
Yes. The parades and local premises around Eltham High Street and New Eltham are covered, and commercial enquiries are welcome.
How do I arrange a visit?
Call us and describe what you have found, whether it is in the house, the garden or an outbuilding, and whether it started recently. For proofing, tell us what has been treated and which entry points were identified.
