Halifax's stone terraces climb steep slopes above the Calder valley, and old mill buildings fill the gaps between. Rats use the voids in both.
Calderdale's main town has terraces stacked on slopes, with back yards at different heights and drains that run under several houses in turn. A rat in one cellar may have come from a bank three doors up. For that reason a Halifax survey looks at levels, retaining walls and drain covers as well as the rooms indoors, and we explain in simple terms where we think the animals are travelling.
Former mill buildings, now used as flats, workshops or stores, bring large footprints and awkward corners, while the busy streets around the Piece Hall have shops and eateries whose waste areas must be kept tight. Free surveys for homes and businesses mean you can see what is involved before deciding. Cost depends on the property, the extent of the infestation and how many visits it takes.
Yes, free surveys for homes and businesses are part of how we work. The technician inspects, explains what is found and gives a quote based on the property, the extent of the problem and the visits needed. You decide whether to go ahead.
Same-day appointments are not always possible, but we try to see people quickly, and it helps to ring early in the day. We will not promise a response time we cannot meet. Tell us what you have seen so we can plan the visit.
