Pontefract has castle ruins, a liquorice-growing history and older town-centre property beside later estates. Older buildings with long histories hide a lot of gaps.
Historic centres hold buildings that have been altered many times, and each change leaves joints, cavities and old openings that pests can find. In Pontefract we look at cellars, party walls and roof spaces in older town-centre premises, and we are careful about how proofing is done, since some buildings are sensitive and changes may need approval from the owner or the local authority.
Shops, pubs and cafes in the centre are served by shared service lanes and bin collections, while estates on the edge have lock-ups, depots and small units with open yards. We are happy to start with a free survey, then talk through options. Commercial service contracts are available where regular visits are the sensible route, and the schedule depends on the premises.
It can. Some proofing methods may need consent, so check with the owner or the local authority before altering fabric. We use methods that cause minimal change where possible and record what we recommend, so the right person can approve it.
Keep food covered and stop cleaning in a way that spreads dust, then arrange a survey. We identify the pest from the droppings and signs, find the routes, and discuss treatment. The cellar, kitchen and bin area get most of our attention.
