Rodent Proofing in Central London

Specialist Rodent Proofing for Central London Homes and Businesses
Obsidian provides rodent proofing for homes and businesses across Central London. We identify and seal the entry points rats and mice use to get inside, helping protect your property and reduce the risk of recurring infestations.
Rodent proofing addresses vulnerable openings, such as gaps around pipework, beneath doors and in damaged brickwork. It forms an important part of long-term prevention.
Where rodents are already present, proofing should be coordinated with appropriate treatment to address the existing infestation.

Pest Control FAQs
Need Help?
Here are some of the frequently asked questions we get asked a lot. If there's something we haven't covered or you wish to discuss further, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the team.
Does rodent proofing stop rats and mice coming back?
Rodent proofing helps prevent rats and mice from returning by closing the routes they use to enter your property. Lasting protection also depends on keeping the building in good repair and managing food and waste properly. If rodents are already inside, treatment may be required to control an infestation before proofing works commence.
What methods do you use for rodent proofing?
Obsidian will inspect your property for rodent entry points and select suitable materials to close them. Depending on the opening, this may involve steel mesh, specialist sealants or door proofing. Where rats or mice may be entering through drainage defects, we can recommend a drain camera survey to investigate. Our team explains the findings and recommended work before proceeding.
Do you provide rodent proofing for homes and businesses?
Yes. We provide rodent proofing for domestic and commercial properties across Central London, including homes, rented properties, restaurants, hotels and offices. We tailor our recommendations to the building, signs of rodent activity and how the premises are used. Speak to the team to discuss your property and arrange an assessment.
Will I need follow-up visits after rodent proofing?
We tailor follow-up visits to your property and the severity of the infestation. For one-off incidents, we recommend seasonal inspections to check for returning rodent activity and any wear and tear or building alterations that could create new entry points. We’ll clearly explain the recommended schedule and what each visit involves.
Is rodent proofing safe for children and pets?
Obsidian provides professional rodent proofing that can be carried out safely in homes with children and pets. It uses physical barriers to block access and does not itself require poison. Let us know about children and pets when booking so we can explain any precautions during the work. If an existing infestation needs separate treatment, we’ll discuss the safety requirements before proceeding.
