Loft Cleaning, Clearance and Disinfection
“As soon as you notice regular wasp activity around your home or business, give me a call. I can quickly identify where the nest is, treat it safely and give you clear advice on staying sting‑free for the rest of the season. Whether you’re in Stroud, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Dursley, Wotton-under-Edge, Nailsworth or any of the surrounding villages, I’ll be pleased to help solve your troublesome wasp problems.”
After a pest problem has been treated, the work isn’t always finished. Rodents, birds and insects can leave behind droppings, nesting material, soiled insulation and damaged wiring – especially in lofts and roof spaces that aren’t regularly checked. That’s where a professional loft clean makes all the difference.

Why Clean a Loft After a Pest Infestation?
Rodents and other pests can leave a surprising amount of contamination behind them. Common problems include:
- droppings and urine soaked into insulation and timbers
- nesting material, food remains and carcasses
- damaged or chewed electrical cables and pipe lagging
- lingering odours and airborne dust
These issues can pose health risks, attract further pests and hide faults that need attention. A thorough, safe clean‑up helps you draw a line under the infestation and return the space to a usable, healthy condition.
What Our Loft Cleaning Service Includes
Every property is different, but a typical loft clean with Chris Tudor Pest Control involves:
1. Initial Inspection
- checking the loft for remaining signs of pests, contamination and damage
- assessing access, insulation type and any hazards such as fragile ceilings or exposed wiring
- confirming that active infestations have been dealt with, or advising on treatment if not
2. Removal of Contaminated Materials
- carefully lifting and bagging soiled or damaged insulation
- removing obvious nesting material, droppings and debris
- segregating any items you wish to keep so they can be cleaned or disposed of appropriately
-
3. Cleaning and Disinfection
-
- vacuuming accessible loft surfaces to remove loose dust and droppings
- applying an appropriate biocidal treatment to help reduce bacteria and odours
- highlighting any visible structural or electrical issues uncovered during cleaning
Where needed, we can liaise with or recommend electricians, plumbers or other trades to repair issues such as gnawed cables or pipes.

4. Re‑Insulation
If you wish, we can arrange to:
- install new loft insulation to current recommended depths
- ensure even coverage while keeping access walkways clear
- work around downlights, tanks and ventilation points safely
This gives you a clean, better‑insulated loft ready for storage or simply improved energy efficiency.
Proofing and Prevention Advice
Cleaning is only part of the story. During the visit, Chris will also:
- look for and point out likely entry routes used by rats, mice, squirrels or birds
- recommend proofing measures to reduce the chance of future infestations
- explain simple checks you can make yourself from time to time
Where appropriate, loft cleaning can be combined with our dedicated pest proofing and prevention service for a complete, long‑term solution.
Ideal for Homeowners, Landlords and Homebuyers
Our loft cleaning and disinfection service is especially useful:
- after rat or mouse treatments in homes in Stroud, Nailsworth, Dursley, Wotton‑under‑Edge and nearby villages
- for landlords and agents preparing properties for new tenants in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Cirencester
- following bird or cluster fly problems in rural and edge‑of‑town locations such as Tetbury, Malmesbury, Bibury, Bourton‑on‑the‑Water and Moreton‑in‑Marsh
- when a survey or homebuyer report has identified historical pest issues in the loft
We work tidily and respectfully, keeping disruption to a minimum and talking you through what we find as we go.
A Word from Chris:
“Lofts are out of sight and often out of mind, which is why pest problems up there can go unnoticed for a long time. Once the infestation is under control, a proper clean really helps to make sure everything is safe, hygienic and ready for the future. If you’ve had rats, mice, birds or heavy insect activity in your loft and you’re worried about what’s been left behind, I can come out, assess the space and give you a clear plan for cleaning, disinfecting and putting things right.”
