Your legal position as a Hackney E8 landlord
Under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, a serious bed bug infestation is a Category 1 or 2 hazard. Tenants can escalate to the council if it isn't addressed promptly — and councils in Hackney act quickly on Cat 1 reports.
How we work with landlords
- Same-day inspection booked directly with the tenant
- Written quotation and treatment plan sent to the landlord
- One-visit heat treatment, typically 6–8 hours
- Written 100% kill guarantee issued in the landlord's name
- Treatment certificate for your property file and any future tenant query
Cost vs void-period economics
A single heat treatment usually costs less than one week of E8 rent. Repeat spray callbacks and a re-let delay cost far more.
Preventing repeat infestations
Mattress encasements at every changeover, a clear bed bug clause in the AST, and interceptor cups under each bed leg as a passive monitor.
