Professional Pest Proofing in Plumstead
Proofing a Plumstead terrace comes with two honest caveats. The floor void and often the roof void are shared with the houses either side, and the drainage under the low ground is Victorian. Both set limits on what closing your own building can achieve.
What Sealing Your House Can and Cannot Do
There is genuine work here and it is worth doing: air bricks with proper covers, service pipe entries under sinks and behind appliances, kickboard voids open to the subfloor, gaps under a door that no longer meets its threshold, small holes in masonry and around frames. Closing those reduces what gets into your rooms.
What it cannot do is close a void that runs under or over a party wall, or reach a defective drain connection. Where those are the route we will describe exactly what we found - which is what a neighbour, a landlord or a drainage contractor needs in order to act on it.
Air bricks get covered, never blocked. They ventilate the suspended floor of a house of this age, and blocking them causes damp. A defective or oversized opening gets a proper cover so it still ventilates.

Nothing is added for Plumstead, 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 Plumstead
The full list is on the Pest Proofing Greenwich page.
- 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.
- Openings at the roofline where they are safely reachable and the repair is a proofing job rather than a roofing one.

Is it worth proofing if the floor void is shared?
Usually yes, for the routes into your own rooms - but we will be straight with you about what it does not close. Paying for work that cannot reach the actual route is not something we want to sell.
How much does pest proofing cost in Plumstead?
£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 large share of Plumstead's terraced stock is let, in whole houses and as flats and rooms, and we take enquiries from landlords, agents and tenants.
Can businesses arrange treatment?
Yes. Shops, food premises and other commercial properties across Plumstead are covered.
How do I arrange a visit?
Call us and tell us what you have found, whereabouts in the terrace you are, and whether the neighbours have reported anything similar. For proofing, tell us what has been treated and which entry points were identified.
