Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• External inspection of the property perimeter for holes, burrows and potential entry points

• Internal check of kitchen, utility, cellar, loft and boiler spaces for droppings, gnaw marks and runways

• Make and record findings with photos, map likely access routes and identify high‑risk areas

• Recommend next steps (proofing, monitoring or treatment) and provide a written report and cost estimate

• Handle evidence and contaminated material using PPE and safe removal procedures where required

• Note access constraints (locked lofts, gated yards) and advise on follow‑up visits if needed

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most inspections take 1–2 hours for a typical terraced or semi‑detached home; larger properties, lofts or extensive external areas can extend this to half a day

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Do you provide a written report and photos after the inspection

• Will you need loft or roof access and can you confirm any extra charges for that

• Do you carry PPE and how will contaminated material be handled and disposed of

• If you recommend treatment, what are the expected follow‑up visits and costs

• Are you insured and do you have references for similar domestic inspections

How to Avoid Surprises

• Clear access to loft hatches, underfloor traps and boiler cupboards before the visit

• Let the tradie know about pets, children and any allergies so they can plan safe working

• Confirm parking or gated‑entry arrangements to avoid call‑out delays

• Ask if any working‑at‑height equipment is needed for loft or roof checks and whether a permit is required for flats

• Have recent photos or a short video of the problem area ready to speed up the inspection
