Hygiene & Facilities Compliance

Pests pose a direct risk to food hygiene ratings, health & safety compliance and your business's reputation. We provide inspection, treatment and ongoing monitoring for rodents, insects and birds, with full documentation to support your due diligence records.

Why it matters

An undetected pest problem can shut down a food business overnight, damage stock and seriously harm your reputation. Regular inspection and treatment demonstrates due diligence to environmental health officers and keeps your premises safe and hygienic.

Signs you may need this

  • Droppings, gnaw marks or nesting material found on site
  • Unexplained damage to packaging, stock or building fabric
  • Sightings of rodents, insects or birds during the day
  • A recent food hygiene inspection flagging pest risk

How quickly can you respond to an active infestation?
