Professional Pest Proofing in Woolwich
Proofing a flat in a Woolwich block has one honest limitation that needs saying before anybody pays for it: sealing your own flat does not close the building. Where the route runs through a shared riser or a communal void, the work that matters is not inside your front door.
What One Flat's Proofing Can and Cannot Do
Inside the flat there is real, useful work: service pipe entries under the sink and behind the washing machine, kickboard voids open to the structure behind, gaps around a soil pipe, the space around a meter box. Closing those genuinely reduces what gets into your rooms and it is worth doing.
What it cannot do is close a riser that serves twelve flats, or seal penetrations in communal areas we have no right to work in. Where the survey says that is the route, we will describe it clearly - which is generally what the managing agent needs in order to act.
Proofing does not mean sealing a building up. Air bricks, vents and underfloor ventilation keep a building dry. Blocking them causes damp. Openings get correctly covered, not filled in.

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 Woolwich
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.
- Openings at the roofline where they are safely reachable and the repair is a proofing job rather than a roofing one.

Is proofing the leaseholder's job or the freeholder's?
It depends where the opening is, and we are not going to guess at your lease. What we can do is say exactly where each route runs and what closing it involves, which is what that conversation needs.
How much does pest proofing cost in Woolwich?
£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, and it is a large part of the Woolwich work. Blocks, converted ranges and new-build flats all bring landlord, letting agent and managing agent enquiries, and the published price means the figure is known before the instruction.
Can businesses arrange treatment?
Yes. The town centre, the market and the food premises around it are all served, and commercial enquiries are welcome.
How do I arrange a visit?
Call us with the type of property, the floor you are on and whether the activity seems to involve more than one flat. For proofing, tell us what has been treated and which entry points were identified.
