SE14 · Lewisham
Pest problems are easier to discuss when the inspection starts with the rooms you actually use. In Telegraph Hill, we look into the reported signs and explain how the findings affect treatment, access and everyday routines.
Telegraph Hill enquiries use SE14 in the area schedule. If your address contains separate flats, give the flat number and describe the affected floor. Access to your home does not necessarily include a communal cupboard or another dwelling, so those arrangements need to be discussed before the inspection.
Live insects, marks around a resting place and damage near stored food deserve different checks. A clear photograph can be more helpful than an uncertain pest name. Avoid disturbing a suspected nest or handling droppings to obtain a sample; explain where the sign is and let us discuss safe inspection.
We examine the reported area first, including relevant edges, furnishings or fittings that can be accessed. Further checks follow the findings rather than a fixed tour of every room. Where a shared service route appears relevant, we identify the access question and explain who may need to authorise a closer look.
For insects, the species and hiding places influence where treatment belongs. For rodents, we also consider accessible routes and suitable control positions. We explain the proposed work in the room itself where possible, so you understand the recommendation and know which belongings or surfaces must remain undisturbed afterwards.
The table gives an initial cost reference; access and the confirmed pest determine which service is appropriate.

Do not move belongings between rooms just to make the property appear ready. Tell us what can be moved and what cannot, then follow the preparation given for the selected work. Afterwards, avoid disturbing treatment positions and use the agreed reporting route if new signs appear elsewhere in the building.
For a rented home, establish who can approve the appointment and any access beyond the tenancy. A business should nominate someone familiar with the affected rooms. That contact can answer practical questions and receive the instructions, while we keep the proposed work focused on the spaces that require attention.
Not necessarily, but permission and payment arrangements should be clear. If access to shared or restricted space is needed, someone with authority may have to arrange that part of the visit.
It may, depending on the findings. We cannot assume neighbouring accommodation is affected, but we will flag any relevant shared route or access limitation that could influence the plan.
Send the clearest image you already have and say where it was taken. It can help with planning, although a blurred photograph may not be sufficient for reliable identification.
Wait for preparation advice, particularly if bed bugs are suspected. Moving items can make the affected area harder to assess, so we will explain how to handle the belongings involved.
Tell us before the appointment if it may be relevant. We can discuss obtaining access or record the limitation; a locked space cannot be described as inspected when it has not been opened.
We explain relevant practical measures arising from the inspection. These may concern storage or openings, but they are specific recommendations, not a promise that a property can never have pests again.
The pin identifies the area, not a Panther office or a customer address.
