Older houses, a minster town setting and farmland all around. Mice have good reasons to come indoors, and we look for how they manage it.
Southwell is a small minster town in Newark and Sherwood, with older property and surrounding farmland. Old walls, stone and brick that has shifted over centuries, and traditional roof structures all give mice ways in, and orchards and fields nearby provide food through much of the year. In autumn, as crops are cleared and temperatures fall, they look for dry buildings, so cottage kitchens and larders see activity.
We have been in the business since 1995, so older cottages and farmland-edge houses are familiar work. We look at the walls, floor edges, door bases and roof spaces. There are no call-out charges, so a first look will not cost you anything extra, and we are honest about what is and is not likely to be practical to proof.
They usually have more places to check, as old walls and floors move. It is a matter of finding the main routes first rather than trying to seal everything at once. Old cottages also settle, so gaps open up again over time. A yearly walk around the outside is sensible.
Fields and gardens offer less food and cover, and the weather cools. Mice then look for warmth and shelter, and any building with a gap and a food source is attractive. Stored grain or feed in outbuildings can also keep them nearby, so seal containers.
Mice can squeeze through very small gaps around pipes, vents, doors and airbricks, so even a tidy home can have them.

A cafe near the minster, a pub with a cellar or a farm shop on the edge of town: each needs a plan, and a visitor is likely to notice a pest before you do.
