Loft clearance services following a pest infestation
PGM & Son are specialists in the removal of contaminated loft insulation, pipe lagging, pest corpses and pest faeces such as rat and mouse droppings and bird guano, including disinfection, cleaning and the laying of new insulation and pipe lagging throughout Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
Our trained technicians are experienced professionals in dealing with rat infestations, eliminating the cause and cleaning and decontaminating loft spaces, council properties, cellars, outbuildings and commercial sites.
Many of the lofts we visit have poor insulation and most are not worth trying to save, so we believe taking everything out, cleaning up the mess, spraying to remove dangerous germs and diseases, then re-insulating to government recommendations is the best policy.
Why is it necessary to have a loft clearance?
When pests such as rats, mice, squirrels and birds take up residence in a loft widespread damage is caused to pipe lagging and loft insulation. Diseases such as psittacosis, salmonella, from bird pests - such as pigeons - are passed to humans from contact or inhalation and leptospirosis from contact with rat urine.

Hiring a professional loft clearance service after a pest infestation is essential to safely and thoroughly remove contaminated insulation, debris, and affected materials. Proper clearance and decontamination also protect the building from further damage and reduce the risk of future pest infestations.
Why professional loft clearance is essential after a pest infestation
Pest infestations in the loft can lead to significant damage to the structure of a building, as well as creating unsanitary conditions that pose health risks to occupants. After a pest infestation, it is crucial to conduct a thorough loft clearance service to ensure that all contaminated materials and waste products are removed.
Loft clearance services are essential in preventing the spread of disease-causing organisms, bacteria, and viruses that can thrive in pest-infested areas. Moreover, clearing out the debris and other contaminated materials can help prevent future infestations. By removing sources of food and shelter, you can eliminate the attraction for pests to your loft space.
Loft clearance: health, safety, and pest prevention
Hiring professional loft clearance services after a pest infestation ensures the safe removal of contaminated insulation, debris, and pest waste. Experts use protective equipment, disinfectants, and cleaning agents to eliminate bacteria, pathogens, and pest residues, while inspecting the loft for potential entry points to prevent future infestations.
