Pest proofing in Coventry
Treatment deals with the pests you have. Proofing deals with how they got in. We recommend targeted work based on what the inspection actually finds.
Common entry points we check
- Damaged or missing airbrick covers
- Gaps around pipes, cables and meter boxes
- Worn door sweeps and gaps under external doors
- Openings behind kitchen units and boxed-in pipework
- Shared lofts and under-floor voids in terraced homes
- Defective or disused drainage connections
Targeted, not blanket
We don't recommend sealing everything. We focus on the gaps that evidence suggests pests are using and explain why each item matters, so you can decide what to go ahead with.
Some issues — such as drain defects or structural repairs — may need a specialist or a builder. We will say so plainly.
Local housing
Built for Coventry's homes
Many Coventry streets are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, alongside interwar and post-war semis and newer estates. Older homes often have worn airbricks and shared voids; newer ones can have service gaps behind kitchens and around boilers.
Inside the home
Small gaps, big difference
A mouse can get through a gap around a pipe that looks far too small. Proofing behind kitchen units, under sinks and around boxed-in pipework is often where indoor problems are solved.
Questions
Is proofing included in rat or mouse treatment?
No — it is quoted separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We will recommend it where it will make a real difference.
Can you proof a property with no current pests?
Yes. An inspection can identify likely weak points, which can be useful for landlords between tenancies.
Do you fix drains?
We look for signs that drains are involved and recommend appropriate next steps. Drain repairs may need a drainage specialist.
