From the villas of Mapperley Park to inter-war and post-war streets, mice use whatever gaps a house gives them. We find the route and treat the cause.
On the hilltop, Mapperley mixes large Victorian villas in Mapperley Park with inter-war and post-war streets. The older villas have cellars, high lofts and original pipe boxing that all suit nesting. The later houses tend to see mice at the eaves, around garage doors and through small gaps in rendering. Hearing activity in the early hours is often the first clue.
We tailor the survey to the type of house. In a villa that means cellar, loft and chimney areas; in a later semi it means the outside walls and garage first. Afterwards we tell you which gaps are worth sealing first. On a hill, wind and driven rain also open up weaknesses in old pointing and render, which gives mice a new entrance, so we look at the condition of the walls as well as the obvious holes around pipes.
Yes. Older houses have more voids and cellars, so we inspect carefully and explain what we find. Results depend on how many routes there are into the building, and we are honest if several visits or proofing jobs may be needed.
Keep food in sealed containers, note where you have seen droppings or heard noises, and make sure we can reach the loft hatch or cellar door. Please do not block any gaps yourself beforehand, as that can trap mice indoors.
Mice can squeeze through very small gaps around pipes, vents, doors and airbricks, so even a tidy home can have them.
