Rat Control Hackney

£190 flat / £240 house

Rats in Hackney tend to follow the borough's older infrastructure — a cracked drain run under a Homerton terrace, or a burrow dug into a garden backing onto the canal near Hackney Wick, where bin stores and fallen fruit keep them fed through the colder months.

If you've heard scratching under the floor or found a burrow by the shed, call 0800 955 2347 and tell us what you've seen.

Where Hackney's Rats Come From

Old drain runs beneath Homerton and Clapton

Homerton and Clapton were built up around the same time as much of Hackney's Victorian terracing, and the drains underneath them are just as old. A cracked pipe or a loose joint gives rats a way up into the ground beneath a house, and from there into floor voids that run the length of a row of houses. Scratching under a ground-floor room with no obvious hole outside is usually the first sign something below has failed.

Gardens and towpaths near the canal at Hackney Wick

The stretch of towpath and garden land backing onto the canal near Hackney Wick gives rats a route most terraced streets don't have — open ground, bin stores serving several properties, and compost heaps left undisturbed over winter. Burrows here tend to sit against a fence line or under a shed base rather than near a drain, so the fix is usually about access rather than plumbing.

Signs to Look For

  • Dark, tapered droppings roughly 1–2cm long, often in small groups
  • Greasy smear marks along skirting boards, pipes and the edges of holes
  • Gnawing on wood, plastic, food packaging or cables
  • Scratching in ceilings, walls or under the floor, mostly at night
  • Burrows a few centimetres across in soil, under paving or beside a shed
  • A stale, ammonia-like smell in cupboards or under the stairs

Closing the Gap So the Rats Don't Come Back

Once the rats are gone, the route they used usually still needs dealing with — a drain repaired, or a gap at the base of a fence closed off, alongside our rodent proofing for smaller accessible holes.

Rodent proofing

Deal With Them, Then Shut the Gap

Clearing the problem doesn't shut the gap behind it. Our rodent-proofing price is £180 for up to one hour, small holes.
