Pest control in Hammersmith
We are based on Fulham Palace Road, so Hammersmith is the area we know in most detail — including which streets have the drainage problems.

What drives pest problems in Hammersmith
Hammersmith is where we work from, at 1 Fulham Palace Road. That matters in practice more than it sounds: we know which terraces have shared floor voids, which blocks have bin stores that draw rats, and which parts of W6 sit over drainage old enough that defects are the usual explanation for a rat problem rather than an unusual one.
The building stock here does most of the work in explaining what we get called to. Victorian and Edwardian terraces converted into flats give rodents and insects connected routes between units through floor voids, shared risers and common walls. Mansion blocks concentrate waste storage in one place. And the strip of restaurants, cafes and takeaways around the Broadway and King Street puts constant food-waste pressure on the flats above and behind them.
The river is the other factor. Proximity to the Thames and to the older sewer network means rat activity in Hammersmith is frequently a drainage story — a cracked or disconnected pipe, a defective interceptor, an open gully — rather than something that walked in from a garden. That changes the inspection, because the fix is underground rather than in the kitchen.
What we are called to here
The pests Hammersmith generates most work for
Rat Treatment
The most common call in W6, and in a high proportion of cases the route in is a defective drain rather than an open door.
Rat Treatment in HammersmithMice Treatment
Converted terraces and mansion blocks let mice move between flats through voids and risers, so treating one unit alone often does not hold.
Mice Treatment in HammersmithBed Bug Treatment
High tenant turnover around the Broadway and the hospital means bed bugs arrive with luggage and furniture regularly.
Bed Bug Treatment in HammersmithFly Treatment
Flats above the King Street and Broadway food premises get fly pressure that has nothing to do with their own housekeeping.

What an inspection in Hammersmith looks at
The building stock decides most of this. These are the things that matter in Hammersmith specifically.
- Shared floor voids and risers in converted terraces mean an inspection has to establish how far activity extends beyond your own flat.
- Older drainage across W6 makes a drain survey the sensible next step when rat activity keeps returning after treatment.
- Mansion block bin stores concentrate waste in one location and are worth checking first when a block reports rodents.
- Basement and lower-ground flats have direct contact with soil and drainage, and are usually where activity in a terrace starts.

In W6 that pattern usually points at drainage. If a defect is feeding rats into the property, baiting the kitchen treats the symptom and the activity returns. The inspection is aimed at finding the route, and we will tell you when a drainage contractor is the actual answer.
Often, yes. Converted terraces share floor voids and walls, and rodents and insects use them. We will tell you what the inspection suggests about the extent, because treating one flat in isolation frequently does not hold.
Yes, commercial premises as well as homes. In food businesses the inspection covers drains, the areas under and behind fixed equipment, waste storage and proofing, since those are where problems originate and where an inspector will look.
