Pest Control in Chesham

Pest Control in Chesham

Chesham sits in a valley with wooded sides and a great deal of older housing running up both slopes, much of it terraced with long narrow gardens stepping up behind.

The slope changes two things that matter: what the buildings share with each other, and how close the trees are to the roofs.

On a slope

What the Terrace Shares

Where roofs run continuously along a terrace, the roof void frequently does too — party walls in older terraces often stop at ceiling level rather than continuing to the underside of the roof. One opening at the end of a row can serve every house in it.

That produces the most frustrating version of a pest problem: your loft has something in it, your own roofline is sound, and the way in is four doors down. Where we find it we will say so, because it changes who needs to authorise the work.

The same applies below ground. A terrace stepping down a hill usually has one drainage run picking up each house in turn, which makes it a sewer rather than a drain — and usually the water company's to maintain.

The trees are the other half. Where a street is cut into a hillside, the bank behind it and the trees on it are frequently at or above roof height, which removes the jump entirely and makes the usual advice about cutting branches back considerably less useful.
