A pest problem in a kitchen, stockroom or warehouse can stop a business trading very quickly. We provide commercial pest control for Basildon firms of every size, from takeaways and cafes to units on the industrial estates. Our technician visits on a regular schedule, deals with whatever turns up and writes it all down, so you always know where you stand.
Some customers call us because a food safety audit is coming up, others because they have seen droppings or heard noises overnight. Either way we start by walking the premises with you, listening to your concerns and working out what a sensible visiting pattern looks like for the way you actually trade.

Basildon has a busy central shopping area, large neighbourhood estates and plenty of industrial space, which means a lot of different premises sitting close together. Shared walls, shared bin areas and service yards give rats, mice and insects an easy route from one building to the next, so a problem next door can quickly become your problem too. Food outlets and bin stores in particular tend to attract the first signs.
That is why we favour regular visits over waiting for trouble. Each time, we check the likely entry points, bait stations and traps, storage areas and waste handling, then talk through anything that needs attention. Catching a few droppings early is far easier, and far less disruptive, than clearing a full infestation in the middle of a busy trading week, and it keeps your staff confident that someone is watching the problem for them.
Food hygiene officers and auditors expect to see evidence that pests are being managed, and a Basildon kitchen or food store without any records can find itself on the back foot. After every visit we leave you written notes covering what we inspected, what we found, what we did and anything we recommend you change. Keep them on file and they show a clear history.
We do not claim any certification on this page, only that we keep honest, clear records of the work. If an inspector raises a point, you will have dates and details to hand rather than a vague recollection. For landlords and managing agents, the same notes help show that a shared building is being looked after properly between tenants, and they make handovers between managers much smoother.
We know a van outside a restaurant at lunchtime does nothing for trade, so we plan visits around your opening pattern and keep our work quiet and tidy. Alongside Basildon in SS13 to SS16, we also cover Billericay, Wickford and Canvey Island, and if something urgent is spotted between routine visits you can call us and we will arrange to come out and look.

Most household pests leave clues behind, and learning to read droppings, damage, noises and timing will help you decide what you are dealing with and what to do next.
Read the guide →It depends on the premises. A busy kitchen or food store usually benefits from frequent visits, while a quiet office may need far fewer. We look at the building, your waste handling and any history of problems, then suggest a visiting pattern you are comfortable with.
Yes. We can plan visits for before opening, after closing or during quiet periods, and we keep the work discreet so customers and staff are not disturbed. Tell us when the premises are at their quietest and we will fit around it wherever practical.
You will receive written notes after each visit, covering what we checked, what we found and what we did. These give you a dated history to show an inspector or auditor, along with any recommendations for improving proofing or storage.
Tell us what you have found and roughly where it is. We will come back to you — or call 01245 327 274 if it is urgent.
