Rats in Kensington and Chelsea
Rats in Kensington and Chelsea follow water and green space. The Grand Union Canal at Kensal and the Thames at Chelsea Embankment, along with open spaces such as Brompton Cemetery and Kensington Memorial Park, give them food and cover, and from there they travel along sewers, railway banks and garden fences into nearby homes.
In South Kensington (SW7), for instance: South Kensington has the museums, Imperial College, hotels and grand stucco terraces around Exhibition Road and the station. Around shops and food outlets, rats nest in service yards and move into buildings through gaps under doors and around cables.
Rats in Chelsea, Kensington and Holland Park
Period houses and leafy streets make up a large part of Chelsea, Kensington and Holland Park. Larger homes near parks and commons see rats in lofts, cellars and outbuildings. We check roof lines and air bricks as well as the garden.
Rats in Notting Hill and Earl's Court
Notting Hill and Earl's Court are mainly Victorian and Edwardian terraces. In terraced streets rats often come from defective drains under the house or along shared rear gardens, so we check inspection chambers and pipe joints as well as the house itself.
