Rat Control in Amersham
Amersham divides neatly for this, and the dividing line is the hill.
The Old Town sits on the valley floor along the Misbourne, in buildings that are genuinely old. Amersham-on-the-Hill is 1930s housing up above it, away from the water.
They are different jobs. Down by the river it is usually about the water and the age of the building; up the hill it is usually about the loft.
Ring 01908 465226 and tell us what you have seen in Amersham.
The valley floor
Old Buildings Along the Misbourne
A chalk stream like the Misbourne is seasonal — it can run strongly one year and barely at all the next — and that variation moves wildlife about. When the water comes up, bankside burrows flood and the occupants move to the nearest dry cover, which along the High Street means old buildings with a great many ways in.
Listed and period buildings need care about what gets fixed to them, which is worth mentioning when you book. It rarely limits what can be done, but the technician should know before arriving.
On the hill
Loft Work in the Inter-War Housing
Up the hill the common job is a loft. Rats climb — brickwork, downpipes, trees overhanging the roof, trellis — and 1930s housing frequently has a gap where the roof meets the wall that has been there since it was built.
The fix is nearly always at the roofline rather than in the loft. Treat what is up there, then close the way up, or you will be doing it again.
What we ask
Booking a Visit in Amersham
Whether the property is in the Old Town or up on the hill, and whether anything overhangs the roof. That decides most of what we need to know before we arrive.
We will tell you where they are getting in, or what it would take to establish it. That is the part that decides whether you see us again next year, so it is not an optional extra.
Before you book
Rat Control in Amersham — Questions
Rats in the loft with no sign downstairs. How did they get up there?
By climbing, usually — brickwork, a downpipe, a tree touching the roof or trellis on a wall — and then in at the roofline. Inter-war housing often has a gap where the roof meets the wall. The fix is at the roofline, not in the loft.
The building is listed. Does that limit what you can do?
Rarely, but it is worth telling us when you book so the technician knows what they are working in and can choose proofing methods that suit the building.
Do you cover both parts of Amersham?
Yes, the Old Town and Amersham-on-the-Hill, plus the surrounding villages.
