Flats & apartments
Identify the actual flat and affected rooms.
PEST CONTROL / REDHILL
The person living there needs
more than an appointment message.
Obtain the tenant’s description of the signs and confirm they can provide access. Share the agreed scope and actual preparation instructions, while identifying who can approve any additional work if proposed.
04 / AT A GLANCE
05 / PROPERTY BRIEF
Identify the actual flat and affected rooms.
Name the relevant floors and resident access.
Separate the tenant’s evidence from the payer’s approval.
Shared areas need management permission.
The residential programme should reach the people using the rooms.
Discuss your homeCommercial tenancies require suitability confirmed separately.
Check the premises requirements01 / START WITH THE EVIDENCE
The reported finding should not become a more certain diagnosis when forwarded.
Droppings or damaged food packets.
Mice controlPossible rodent evidence at a named location.
Rats controlPhysical traces around sleeping furniture.
Bed bug treatmentRecurring kitchen insects.
Cockroaches controlMouse enquiries should preserve the tenant’s cupboard reference and discovery date.
Rat concerns need direct observations with any exterior reports separately attributed.
Bed bug assessment needs physical evidence where available; relayed symptoms alone are insufficient.
Kitchen insect reports need dates and products used by the resident since discovery.
REDHILL / PROPERTY CONTEXT
Check postcode coverage and availability first. Then ensure the resident understands what is being proposed for the home.
A booking made by an owner or agent still needs workable entry. Confirm who will meet the technician and any agreed access limits.
The person admitting the visitor may not be authorised to approve extra work. Identify a reachable decision-maker in advance.
Preparation should reach the tenant in its confirmed form, not as a shortened message missing method-specific requirements.
07 / SCOPE BEFORE A QUOTE
The quote should be understood by the person approving work and the resident preparing access. Extra work must not be assumed authorised.

03 / OBSERVATION CHECKLIST

Bed spotting or shed material differs from irritation alone.
Repeated insects need dates and resident product-use history.
Outside or nesting activity requires safe observation and suitability checked if unknown.
