Pest Control Services in Kentish Town NW5

Kentish Town, NW5

NW5 stretches north from the edge of Camden Town along Kentish Town Road and Highgate Road to Dartmouth Park, with Gospel Oak and the Parliament Hill side of Hampstead Heath to the west and Tufnell Park to the east. It crosses into Islington at its eastern edge.

Railway land behind the gardens

Several railway lines cut through Kentish Town and Gospel Oak on embankments and in cuttings. They give rats and foxes quiet cover right behind back gardens, and homes that back onto the lines see more rodent activity than streets a few minutes away. We cannot treat railway land, but we can make your house and garden hard to get into. See rat control.

Terraces, mansion blocks and estates

The streets around Leighton Road and Lady Margaret Road are Victorian terraces, many now flats; Highgate Road has large red-brick mansion blocks; and Gospel Oak and Kentish Town have sizeable council estates. In all of them, mice travel through shared voids and risers, so we often work with managing agents and residents' groups as well as single households. See mouse control.

Questions people ask

Our house backs onto the railway in Kentish Town. How do we keep rats out?

The embankment belongs to the railway, so the work happens on your side: sealing gaps under fences and sheds, checking drains and air bricks, and treating any rats already living in the garden.

Do you work with residents in Kentish Town mansion blocks?

Yes. Mice in mansion blocks use shared ducts and risers, so we coordinate with the managing agent or residents' association to treat the affected flats together.

Is Tufnell Park covered on this page?

Tufnell Park straddles NW5, N7 and N19. The NW5 streets are covered here; the N7 and N19 side is on our Holloway page.
