Rodent Proofing Hammersmith and Fulham

Rodent Proofing in Hammersmith and Fulham

In Fulham's terraces, gaps where pipes pass through party walls and worn airbricks are the entry points we most often find.

In mansion blocks and newer developments, communal basement stores and service ducting can also give rats and mice a way in.

Drain faults under Fulham's terraces

Fulham's Victorian terraces sit on drains that are as old as the houses themselves, and a cracked pipe or a displaced joint gives rats a way from the sewer into the ground beneath a house. From there they move into floor voids and wall cavities without ever surfacing outside, which is why scratching under a downstairs room with no visible hole so often points to the drains rather than anywhere above ground.

Party walls in Fulham's converted terraces

Much of Fulham was built as terraced houses that have since been split into flats, and each conversion added its own boxed-in pipework and partition walls. A mouse needs only a gap the width of a pencil to treat any of these as a corridor, so a problem that starts in one kitchen can be affecting the flat next door within a few weeks.
