The pest, infestation size and number of visits all affect price. Current 2026 UK guidance gives these broad private-treatment benchmarks:
Indicative UK guidance checked August 2026 from MyJobQuote. Romford City Council also operates its own chargeable residential pest service with separate published prices, so compare the exact service and number of visits rather than headline figures alone.

A quote for the wrong pest is not useful. Describe evidence carefully and ask whether follow-up visits and proofing are included.

Romford pest-control responsibility
Havering Council directs residents with household pest or vermin problems to pest-control companies rather than offering a general council treatment service. That makes it especially useful to describe the evidence clearly before comparing private quotes.
Havering states that it does not offer a general pest-control service and cannot identify pests for residents. It directs householders to pest-control companies and points to recognised directories for finding providers.
Havering's pest fact sheet advises blocking mouse entry gaps, securing food and rubbish, reducing clutter and fixing damp or leaks that encourage pests such as silverfish. Ask whether the quote covers proofing and prevention as well as treatment.

Questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
Havering says it does not offer a general pest-control service, so private householders are directed to pest-control companies.
Cost depends on the pest, infestation size, treatment method, access, number of visits and whether proofing work is included.
Yes, where safe and appropriate. Havering's advice specifically recommends blocking gaps and entry points as part of mouse prevention.
