Pest Control Services in Wapping E1W

Pest control in Wapping, E1W

Wapping sits between the Thames and The Highway, from St Katharine Docks and Tower Bridge in the west to Shadwell Basin in the east. Its homes are unusual for London: tall Victorian warehouses along Wapping High Street converted into flats, 1980s Docklands houses around the old dock basins, council blocks, and the newer towers of London Dock. Tobacco Dock and the marinas at St Katharine Docks bring shops, restaurants and visitors.

The river and the docks

Almost every street in Wapping is a short walk from water. The foreshore, dock walls and marinas give rats a home, and they travel inland through drains and service trenches to bin stores and gardens. Riverside restaurants and the bins behind them draw them after dark. Treatment needs proofing alongside it: sealing gaps around pipes at ground level, fitting door brushes to bin stores, and repairing damaged drains.

Warehouse conversions

Converted warehouses have deep timber floors, old brick walls and service runs added long after they were built. Mice move through these between flats and floors, often unseen until droppings turn up in a kitchen cupboard. We treat the flat, find the routes, and work with the building's managing agent when the problem runs through several flats.

Balconies and roofs

Pigeons like the balconies, window ledges and roof plant of riverside blocks, especially where people feed them. Droppings build up quickly and can block gutters and drains. Pigeon control here is usually netting or wire designed to suit the building, fitted with the managing agent's approval.
