Pest control in Walthamstow, E17

Walthamstow is a large district. It runs from the High Street, with its long street market, and Walthamstow Central station, out to Walthamstow Village around Orford Road, Wood Street to the east, Lloyd Park and Higham Hill to the north, and Blackhorse Lane and the reservoirs to the west. Most homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with newer blocks of flats around the station and along Blackhorse Lane.

Warner flats

Walthamstow is known for its Warner homes: terraces built as pairs of upper and lower flats, each with its own front door. From the street they look like houses, but the two flats share a floor void, walls and pipe runs. When mice get into one, they soon reach the other, and the flats next door share the same routes. The most effective treatment covers both flats together, with the gaps around pipes, under stairs and at floor level sealed afterwards. If you own one flat and let or sell the other, we can talk to both sides.

The market and the High Street

The High Street market and the food shops, cafes and takeaways around it and on Hoe Street handle a lot of food in old buildings with shared yards. Rats come to waste left for collection, and cockroaches and mice live around kitchens and storerooms. Regular visits with a written record suit these businesses.

Gardens and the reservoirs

Back gardens and alleyways behind E17's terraces are where rats burrow, under sheds and decking and near compost bins. Gardens near Lloyd Park, the reservoirs and the marshes get more of them, along with squirrels in lofts. In rented flats and shared houses, bed bugs are a common call when tenants change.
