Rodent Proofing Warrington
Treatment deals with the rats and mice already inside. Proofing stops new ones getting in. TTOCS Pest Control provides rodent proofing for homes, landlords and businesses across Warrington.
Where Rodents Get In
Early identification helps prevent larger problems. Common signs include:
Air Bricks
Broken or unmeshed air bricks and vents
Pipe Gaps
Gaps around pipes, cables and boiler flues
Brickwork
Holes in mortar, damaged brickwork and render
Doors
Gaps under doors and around garage and shed doors
Drains
Drain defects and open connections
Rats can squeeze through gaps of around 15mm and mice through gaps of around 6mm. Most buildings have several gaps like these around pipes, vents, doors and brickwork.
I identify the entry points during the inspection and recommend or carry out proofing, so the problem doesn’t return once treatment ends.
Our Rodent Proofing Service
Proofing is matched to each entry point found during the inspection.
Proofing work can include:
- Steel mesh fitted over air bricks and vents
- Sealing gaps around pipes and services
- Filling holes in brickwork and mortar
- Door bristle strips and kick plates
- Proofing around decking, sheds and outbuildings
Materials are chosen to resist gnawing, so the proofing lasts.
Proofing the Drains
Where rats are coming from the drainage system, external proofing alone won’t stop them.
Drain proofing options:
- Non-return rat blockers
- Capping redundant connections
- Patch lining over defects
- Gully and rest bend repairs
A CCTV drain survey tells us which option is needed.
Proofing for Businesses
Commercial premises often have loading doors, service ducts and voids that need proofing as part of an integrated pest management programme.
Commercial proofing covers:
- Loading bay and roller door gaps
- Service ducts and risers
- Kitchen and food storage areas
- Proofing recommendations in site reports
Proofing recommendations are recorded so you can show due diligence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is rodent proofing?
Closing the gaps and defects rats and mice use to get into a building, such as gaps around pipes, air bricks and damaged masonry.
Do I need proofing if the rats have gone?
Yes. If the entry point stays open, new rodents can use the same route.
What materials do you use?
Gnaw-resistant materials such as steel mesh, sealants and mortar repairs, chosen to suit each gap.
Can you proof drains?
Yes. Rat blockers, patch lining and capping redundant connections all stop rats getting in from the drains.
Do you proof commercial buildings?
Yes. Proofing is part of our commercial pest management, with recommendations recorded in site reports.
