Rodent Control in Norwich

Our engineers use CCTV cameras to find rodent activity and entry holes in drainage systems beneath Norwich homes and across Norfolk. These cameras give a clear view inside pipes without excavation.

The survey identifies defects, root ingress and the exact locations where rats have gnawed or burrowed. Customers receive a written report showing where rodent proofing or repairs are most needed.

Our team fit specialist rat blockers and one-way valves to stop rodents travelling up from the sewer into your pipes. These devices are installed without major digging and are suitable for both old and new properties.

If significant damage is found, we offer drain relining or targeted repairs to eliminate weaknesses. All work includes a written guarantee for peace of mind.

Detached houses, terraces and older cottages in places such as Aylsham and Diss often need drain-based proofing due to hidden cracks underground.

We provide a discreet service, arriving in unmarked vehicles if required. All works, from CCTV survey to fitting blockers, are explained clearly to owners before any repairs begin.

A sudden sighting of rats or evidence of gnawing in your kitchen or cellar calls for urgent action. Norwich Drainage offers emergency cover 24/7, every day of the year across Norfolk locations like Attleborough and Long Stratton.

We target a 1-hour response for emergency callouts and always prioritise properties where rodent presence is affecting health or business operation.

Rodents often use broken pipes and misaligned joints to access buildings from the main sewer. In places like Wymondham or Costessey, properties may have older clay or cast iron drains where rats squeeze through small gaps.

Unprotected connections, displaced covers, or uncapped pipes give easy passage. Drainage access points are favourite locations for rodents to establish nests close to kitchens or basements.

When rodents have already entered, bait stations and trapping may be placed at key points in the drainage system. These are installed with care to avoid harm to pets or wildlife in residential areas like Hethersett or Wroxham.

All equipment is inspected and maintained by our trained engineers. We aim to reduce populations before sealing entry routes, keeping property owners informed throughout.

Alongside drainage work, we assess buildings for other rodent access points. This includes inspecting air bricks, gaps around pipes, and cellar vents—common in Norfolk’s older homes.

Simple measures like mesh covers, sealing cracks, and regular drain checks can help prevent re-entry. Advice is always tailored to your property’s age, layout and location.

Shops, cafes and offices in Norwich and the wider county require secure drains to comply with hygiene guidelines. Rodent issues can disrupt businesses, so we offer out-of-hours and scheduled visits.

All work is carried out by certified engineers. We provide drain mapping and maintenance recommendations to reduce business downtime and meet regulatory requirements.

After initial proofing, regular CCTV inspections and drain checks can help keep rats and mice away. We provide scheduled monitoring or ad-hoc surveys, depending on your risk level and property type.

Ongoing maintenance is especially worthwhile for properties near rivers or fields—such as those in Brundall or Loddon—where rodent numbers can fluctuate.
