£190 flat / £240 house
Newham's dense Victorian terraces sit on old drainage, and a fault under the street is the most common cause of rats indoors.

Newham has some of London's most varied housing in a small area — dense Victorian terraces, huge regeneration schemes around the former Olympic Park, and converted dockland flats towards the river — and the pest problems follow the buildings closely.
Victorian terraces around East Ham and Plaistow
East Ham and Plaistow are largely tightly packed Victorian terraces, many converted into flats or multi-let houses. Rats here are very often a drain fault under the street rather than a garden problem, and mice travel easily between properties sharing old timber floors and party walls.
New-build regeneration around the Olympic Park
The apartment blocks built as part of the regeneration around Stratford have communal corridors, shared bin stores and service risers running through several floors. Cockroaches and bed bugs can spread between flats in buildings like these, and treatment usually needs the managing agent involved as well as the resident.
Converted dockland flats near Canning Town
The converted warehouse and riverside flats around Canning Town bring sealed service ducts and shared plant rooms that pests can use to move between units. A single-flat inspection rarely finds the whole problem in buildings of this kind.
Overcrowded and multi-let housing
Newham has higher than average rates of overcrowded and multi-let housing, particularly around Manor Park and Forest Gate. Bed bugs and fleas move fastest through housing like this, so call 0800 955 2347 with the number of rooms affected and whether neighbouring households have reported anything.
