Rat Blocker Installation in Milnrow , Rochdale

A rat blocker, commonly referred to as a rat flap, is a mechanical device fitted inside your drainage inspection chamber. Once installed by our experienced drainage technicians, the flap functions as a one-way gate. It remains closed under normal conditions, effectively blocking the path for rats, yet swings open automatically when water or waste is flushed through the system. This clever piece of engineering is a non-invasive solution that requires no major structural work. It is an ideal preventative measure for properties in Milnrow that are close to water courses or older sewage systems where rodent activity is more prevalent.
