Rodent Proofing Havering

Rodent Proofing in Havering

On the Harold Hill estate, shared party walls and roof lines mean entry points are often found where pipework passes between one house and the next, or where an airbrick has worked loose.

Further out towards Upminster and the Essex border, larger detached houses and outbuildings tend to have gaps around utility pipework and older timber doors rather than anything shared with a neighbour.

Marshland and ditches around Rainham

Rainham sits on low-lying land close to the river, and the network of ditches and drainage channels that keep it dry doubles as a route for rats moving between fields, industrial units and back gardens. A burrow under a fence line here is often connected to a ditch bank rather than to anything under the property itself, which changes where we look first.

Shared walls on the Harold Hill estate

Harold Hill was built quickly after the war as an overspill estate, and the roads of semis and short terraces still share loft spaces, party walls and rear fence lines. Mice use those shared structures as corridors, so a household that has sealed its own kitchen can still pick up mice moving through from next door.

What Rodent Proofing Covers

• Sealing small, accessible gaps around pipework and cabling
• Damaged air bricks and worn thresholds
• Gaps around meter boxes and service ducts

When to Book It

It pairs well with a rat or mouse treatment, done while the entry point is fresh in mind, but it's also booked on its own across Havering.
