Pest Surveys
& Inspections

Our professional pest surveys and property inspections provide a thorough, systematic examination of your home or business to identify signs of infestation, assess entry points, and evaluate the full extent of any pest activity. Whether you are buying a new property, dealing with a suspected problem, or carrying out routine checks to maintain a pest-free environment, our detailed surveys give you the clarity, confidence, and documentation you need to take decisive action.

What Is a Pest Survey and Why Do You Need One?

A pest survey is a comprehensive inspection carried out by a qualified technician to determine whether pests are present, how they are entering the building, and what level of risk they pose to the property and its occupants. Unlike a casual visual check, a professional pest inspection uses specialist knowledge, tools, and years of field experience to uncover hidden problems that an untrained eye would miss.

Many property owners only discover an infestation when damage becomes visible or when health symptoms appear. By that point, the problem is often far more serious — and expensive — than it needed to be. Early detection through a routine pest survey can save you thousands of pounds in structural repairs, lost stock, and remediation costs. It also protects your family, tenants, employees, and customers from the health risks associated with rodents, insects, and birds.

What Happens During a Pest Inspection?

When you book a pest survey with our team, we begin with a brief consultation to understand your concerns and any symptoms you have noticed. This helps us tailor the inspection to your specific situation. Our technician will then conduct a detailed walkthrough of the property, starting from the exterior and moving systematically through every relevant interior space.

During the inspection we look for:

• Droppings and urine trails — clear indicators of rodent or insect activity in lofts, basements, kitchens, and voids.
• Nesting materials and harbourage sites — shredded paper, insulation, gnawed wood, or clustered debris that suggests established colonies.
• Structural damage — chewed wires, damaged timbers, stained plaster, and compromised entry points that pests use to access the building.
• Entry points and vulnerabilities — gaps around pipes, broken vents, damaged roofing, and cracks in brickwork that allow pests inside.
• Environmental risk factors — moisture levels, food sources, waste storage, and neighbouring infestations that could sustain or attract pests.

We use torches, inspection cameras, moisture meters, and ladder access where necessary to inspect roof spaces, wall cavities, subfloor voids, and other hard-to-reach areas. Every finding is documented with written notes and, where appropriate, photographs.

Your Detailed Pest Survey Report

Within 24 hours of the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive written report that summarises our findings in plain English. There is no jargon — just clear facts, professional recommendations, and a practical action plan you can act on immediately.

Each report includes:

• An overview of the property and the areas inspected.
• A full list of identified pests, signs of activity, and risk levels.
• Photographic evidence where relevant to support findings.
• A professional risk assessment covering health, safety, and structural impact.
• A tailored treatment or prevention plan with clear next steps and cost guidance.
• Long-term proofing recommendations to stop pests from returning.

Our reports are accepted by insurance providers, mortgage lenders, landlords, housing associations, and environmental health officers. If you need the survey for a property transaction or tenancy dispute, the documentation we provide carries the professional weight required.
