A historic market town with a castle, a market square and the Trent beside it. We treat the pests in older buildings and newer homes alike.
Historic buildings are lovely to work in and tricky to proof. Around Newark Castle and the market square, old walls, hidden voids and long-unused spaces suit mice, moths and pigeons, while the nearness of the Trent adds rats. Later housing on the edge of town has its own problems, mostly garden-based. Cellars, chimneys and roof voids in older buildings are inspected carefully, and we point out the gaps that are worth sealing and those sensible left.
Businesses on or around the square handle food, stock and people, so a commercial survey and a written inspection report can be a useful record. For homes we deal with the pest and add a free prevention survey. Appointments are arranged to suit you. Market-day waste and busy bins on and around the square can encourage rats and mice, so closed containers and regular clearing are important.
Yes, though proofing needs care to avoid damaging old fabric. We inspect first and explain what can be done sympathetically. Timber, stone and lime plaster do not respond well to rough treatment, so we explain what is suitable, and you can discuss it with whoever looks after the building.
Often it is, as waterside land gives cover and food. Secure bins and drains in nearby premises reduce the draw. The Trent provides cover and a route for rats, but whether they come to your building depends on food, waste and gaps, which you can control.
No. There are no call-out charges, and prices are fixed so you know what you are paying before we arrive.
A market square full of ledges and cornices is a gift to pigeons. Proofing is the way to take back a roof, a doorway or a loading bay in Newark-on-Trent.
Read the advice →A pencil-width hole is enough for a house mouse. In an older Newark-on-Trent property there are usually several more gaps than you would expect, some of them out of sight.
