Fly control in Hammersmith
Flats above the King Street and Broadway restaurants get fly pressure that has nothing to do with their own housekeeping — the source is downstairs, not in the flat itself.
Local detail
Flies in Hammersmith
The strip of restaurants, cafes and takeaways around King Street and the Broadway is one of the busiest food parades we cover, and the flats directly above and behind those premises feel the effect: waste storage, drains and extraction at ground level draw flies that then find their way into the flats above, regardless of how well those flats are kept.
For the food premises themselves, the same density means a fly problem is rarely isolated — shared refuse areas and service yards along the parade mean a source at one unit can affect its neighbours, which is worth knowing if a kitchen keeps seeing flies despite a clean-looking prep area.
Signs to look for
Signs of flies in Hammersmith
What we are usually called out to see in W6:
- Small flies persistently around a sink or floor drain in a flat above a King Street or Broadway restaurant
- Fly activity in a flat with no obvious food source of its own
- Flies around floor gullies or waste storage in a food premises along the parade
- A kitchen with a clean prep area that still sees ongoing fly activity
Our approach to flies in Hammersmith
Because the source in a flat above the parade is so often downstairs rather than in the flat itself, the inspection traces activity back through the building rather than only treating the room where flies are seen — the full detail on identifying the species and finding the source is on our fly control guide.

07886 109682The source is very likely downstairs — waste storage, drains or extraction at the premises below draw flies that then find their way up. It has nothing to do with your own housekeeping.
Where that is practical, yes — treating the source is what actually resolves it. We will explain what we can address directly and what needs raising with the premises below if we are not instructed by them.
Floor drains and gullies, and the areas under and behind fixed equipment — a kitchen can look genuinely clean on the surface while a drain underneath keeps producing flies.
