Rats Don't Burrow In — They Walk In

Most urban rat infestations don’t come from holes in the ground. They come up your drain — through cracks in your bathroom waste, into your garden via the manhole, or directly into the property through a broken connection.

A rat blocker is a one-way valve fitted into the drain that lets water out but stops rats coming back up. Cheap to fit, permanent solution, works on every property with a standard drain.

Stop Paying Pest Control For The Same Rats

Pest control kills the rats already in. Rat blockers stop new ones getting in. You need both for a permanent solution.

Rat Blocker Fitting FAQs

How much does a rat blocker cost in Reading?

From £180 fitted for a single blocker. Multi-blocker estate installations get volume pricing.

Do rat blockers actually work?

Yes — they’re a proven physical barrier. Combined with pest control to remove rats already inside, they solve the problem permanently.

Will it stop my drain working?

No — water flows through normally. Only the one-way mechanism prevents rats walking back up.

Can you fit a blocker in any drain?

Almost — standard drains yes. Some unusual configurations need a different approach. Free survey first.

Do they need maintenance?

Annual check recommended to ensure the flap moves freely. We can include this in maintenance contracts.

How long do they last?

Quality blockers last 10+ years. We use stainless steel and proven brands.

Do you cover all of Reading?

Yes — every Reading postcode and surrounding RG areas.
