Local pest control in South Bank
South Bank is made up largely of apartments and mansion blocks, many of them rented. Restaurants, theatres and offices along the river mean mice and rats in basements and kitchens, and pigeons and gulls on roofs.
The South Bank is in the London Borough of Lambeth. Further east the riverside continues into Southwark at Bankside. The Southbank Centre, the National Theatre and the London Eye line the river here.

Pest control in South Bank: questions and answers
Do you cover South Bank?
Yes. We cover South Bank (SE1) and the surrounding streets from our base at South Dock Marina in SE16. Call 020 8050 2022 or book online.
How much does pest control cost in South Bank?
A standard visit is £90, the same as everywhere we work. If you need follow-up visits or proofing, we explain the work and agree the price before we continue. See our prices.
How quickly can you get to South Bank?
We aim to see urgent problems, such as rats indoors or a wasp nest by a door, as quickly as we can. Call us and we will tell you when we can attend.
Why do flats in South Bank keep getting mice?
Mice move between flats through shared floor voids, risers and pipe boxing. Treating neighbouring flats together and sealing gaps in each one works far better than treating one flat alone.
Do you treat restaurants and shops in South Bank?
Yes. We work with food businesses, shops and offices, with written reports for your food safety records. See commercial pest control.
Why are there so many rats near the river in South Bank?
The river wall, docks and old drain runs give rats food, water and shelter. Most rat problems in riverside homes start in defective drains, so we check drains and fit rat blockers where suitable.
Who do I report rats to in South Bank?
If rats are coming from neglected land or a neighbouring property, you can report it to Lambeth Council's environmental health team. For rats in your own home or business, we can inspect and treat.
