Lewisham is a hilly borough, and the building stock changes as the ground rises — from creekside new-builds at Deptford to Victorian terraces climbing towards Sydenham and postwar estates further inland.
Hillside terraces around Forest Hill and Sydenham
The steep streets around Forest Hill and Sydenham are lined with Victorian terraces, many with cellars and original suspended floors. Rats here are very often a drainage fault rather than a garden problem, and squirrels use the mature trees on these roads to reach roof spaces that would otherwise be hard to access.
Postwar estates at Downham and Bellingham
The large council estates built at Downham and Bellingham after the war have long communal corridors and shared bin stores. Fleas and cockroaches tend to travel between flats in buildings like these, and treating one flat in isolation rarely solves a problem that has spread through shared walls and pipework.
New-build flats near Deptford Creek
Recent apartment developments along Deptford Creek bring sealed service risers and underground parking, which can give pests a route between blocks that isn't obvious from inside a single flat. Managing agents here usually need to be involved alongside the individual resident to get to the source.
Victorian terraces around Brockley and Ladywell
Brockley and Ladywell have some of Lewisham's best-preserved Victorian terraces, many still with original timber floors and party walls. Mice and carpet pests move easily between these connected properties, so call 0800 955 2347 with your address and what you've noticed.
