Batley's rag-recycling past left a legacy of stone mills and tight terraces. Many now house units, shops and flats that share walls, drains and yards.
Years of mill conversion mean Batley buildings have been altered, extended and subdivided, and each alteration leaves gaps behind panels and under floors. Rodents and cockroaches take full advantage of voids that nobody remembers. Our survey tries to trace those hidden pathways, using the building's layout as our guide, and we talk to staff about where they have heard noises or noticed droppings.
Landlords with stone terraces let as shops with flats above should consider a joint plan for the whole property. A mouse in the flat is often a mouse in the shop, and the reverse. We offer free surveys to businesses and can set up a regular visit schedule when it makes sense. Costs depend on the property, extent of the problem and number of visits, with a free quote on request.
Mice move freely through floors, ceilings and service gaps, so activity upstairs usually reaches the shop and vice versa. Treating only one level tends to leave the other as a source. A joint survey and plan covers both and records who is responsible for what.
We look at the building outside and in, checking pipe entries, air bricks, door thresholds, drains and roof edges. Staff observations help a lot. We then mark entry points on the report and recommend proofing, which is often the difference between a short fix and a recurring problem.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
