Treatment deals with the pests you have. Proofing stops new ones getting in. It is the most effective way to reduce repeat problems and is the thinking behind our name.

We find and seal the gaps that rats, mice, squirrels and insects use, using durable materials that suit the property.

Signs to look out for

  • Repeat infestations after previous treatments
  • Gaps around pipes, cables and vents
  • Damaged air bricks, soffits or door seals
  • Holes behind kitchen units and under baths

How we deal with it

  1. Survey

    We identify all entry points and explain which ones matter most.

  2. Quotation

    We quote for the proofing work before starting.

  3. Proofing

    We use materials such as stainless steel mesh, wire wool, sealants, bristle strips, air brick covers and rat gates.

Proofing works best alongside good housekeeping, such as sealed bins and tidy storage areas.

Questions about pest proofing

Can proofing be done on the same visit as treatment?

Often, yes, for smaller jobs. Larger proofing work is usually booked as a separate visit.
