If rats keep returning in Lewisham, it’s often because the entry point hasn’t been identified and sealed at source.

Rats live in sewer systems. When drainage pipes are damaged, displaced, or poorly sealed, they can provide hidden access routes directly into buildings. From there, rats can move unseen through wall cavities, floors and service ducts before appearing inside the property.

We specialise in CCTV drain inspections to identify rat entry points, providing clear evidence rather than guesswork.

For an overview of the service, see Rats in Drains CCTV inspection service.

Bookings are taken by phone only.

We Don’t Set Traps – We Find How Rats Are Getting In

Traps may catch individual rats, but without identifying the entry point, infestations often return.

Broken or displaced underground drains
Open or redundant pipe connections
Defective joints in older clay pipework
Sewer access points beneath the property

Using professional CCTV equipment, we show you clear video evidence of how rats are entering the building.

Booking, Payment & Inspection Conditions

Rat drain inspections are a specialist diagnostic service. Payment is required at the time of booking to secure an appointment.

A CCTV drain inspection requires suitable access to the drainage system, usually via a manhole, inspection chamber, or accessible rodding eye.

If no suitable access point is available on arrival and an inspection cannot be carried out, the inspection fee is non-refundable.

Drain Condition & CCTV Visibility

In most cases, inspections can be carried out without prior cleaning. However, if heavy build-up restricts visibility, targeted jetting may be required to allow a proper inspection.

Around 75% of inspections do not require jetting. Where cleaning is necessary, this will be clearly visible on camera and discussed before any additional work is undertaken.
