Pricing guide

Costs for pest proofing depend largely on how much access and specialist materials the job needs. Basic perimeter sealing is typically less involved than internal roof-void or subfloor work, while specialist bird or large-pest exclusion often requires elevated access and custom metalwork. Labour requirements, safety setup and the need for scaffolding or elevated work platforms can also increase the overall scope.

  • Scope of access required

    Perimeter-only jobs are generally simpler than programs that include internal roof-voids or confined subfloors.

  • Materials and fabrication type

    Standard mesh is usually sufficient for basic proofing, while stainless fixings, custom flashings or metalwork add complexity.

  • Elevated work and access equipment

    Jobs that need roofline work, netting or bird exclusion often require scaffolding or elevated work platforms and additional setup time.

  • Labour and safety measures

    Comprehensive sealing or contaminated areas can need extra technicians and safety controls, which extends labour time.

  • Extent of pest damage or contamination

    Heavily contaminated areas or significant entry-point damage usually require more vigorous remediation and sealing work.
