Rat control in Mayfair
Basement kitchens, bin stores and the older drainage network under W1 keep rat pressure constant in Mayfair, mostly in spaces the public never sees.
Local detail
Rats in Mayfair
Mayfair packs residential, hospitality and commercial premises into the same blocks, and rats do not observe the boundaries between them. A basement kitchen in a restaurant may share a party wall with a Georgian townhouse; a bin store may serve both a hotel and the offices above it. Activity in one is regularly generated by another.
The work concentrates in service areas — basement kitchens, plant rooms, service corridors, bin stores and delivery bays — warm, continuously used and largely out of sight, which is exactly where rat populations establish in W1 and where an inspection has to spend its time.
Signs to look for
Signs of rats in Mayfair
What we are usually shown on a Mayfair rat call:
- Droppings or gnaw marks in a basement kitchen or plant room
- Activity near a bin store shared by more than one occupier in a mixed-use building
- Burrow holes or smear marks around a delivery bay or service corridor
- Rat activity that an office or residence traces back to a restaurant or hotel elsewhere in the building
Our approach to rats in Mayfair
The inspection concentrates on service areas — plant rooms, risers, basements, bin stores and delivery bays — since that is where W1 rat activity establishes, and visits are arranged discreetly and around trading hours where a premises needs that — the full detail on how we treat and proof against rats is on our rat control guide.

Yes. The line is open 24 hours and a good deal of commercial work in W1 is done outside service times. Tell us the window when you call.
