New houses can still have rat problems, especially beside building plots and open land. We check the gaps and gardens that newer homes often have.
Recently built homes are tightly constructed but not rat-proof. Gaps around service pipes, meter boxes and garage doors can be missed in construction, and open plots, building materials and freshly turned soil next door can all draw rats. Gardens are often new and bare at first, then fill with fences, sheds and decking, which provide cover. Rats may be moving in from land still awaiting development.
Our survey concentrates on service entries, boundaries and nearby cleared or undeveloped ground. Treatment is by baiting or trapping to suit the household, and we explain which gaps to seal. If you are a developer or managing agent, our commercial division offers free surveys and written inspection reports. Pricing is fixed with no call-out charge.
New homes may have small gaps around pipes and doors, and nearby development can disturb rats. It depends on the plot and the surroundings, but a survey will identify any weak points.
That depends on the site and arrangements, so contact the developer or the council. We can survey your home and provide a clear account of what we find to support your request.
Rats come for food, water and shelter. Accessible waste, open drains, bird feed and gaps in buildings can all draw them in.

Newly built does not mean moth-free. The holes in a cashmere scarf are made by tiny larvae, and they can arrive in a box from an older home you moved from.
Read the advice →New homes feel sealed, but small gaps round pipes, garage doors and loft hatches still let pests in. A short checklist done twice a year catches most of them.
