Why heat treatment beats sprays in SE16
You don't need to throw out mattresses, sofas, books or clothing after a heat treatment. Everything in the room is heated to lethal temperature in-place. The contents are sterilised; the property is usable the same evening.
Bed bugs in SE16: the local picture
SE16 sits within South-East London (postcode area SE). Most of our local call-outs come from rental flats, HMOs, short-let apartments and hotels — anywhere with high tenant turnover. Bed bugs hitch in on luggage, second-hand furniture and clothing, then breed undetected for 2-3 weeks before bites appear.
How a SE16 treatment runs
Our SE16 treatments run in three phases: (1) ramp-up to lethal temperature (~90 minutes), (2) sustained kill phase at +141 °F (3-6 hours), (3) controlled cool-down. You'll get a written 6-month guarantee handed over before we leave site. No chemicals, no follow-up sprays, no second visit.

SE16 bed bug FAQs
How do I know if I actually have bed bugs in my SE16 property?
Tell-tale signs: clusters of small bites in lines on exposed skin, tiny dark blood-spot smears on bedding, pale shed skins along mattress seams, and a faint sweet-musty odour in heavy infestations. We can confirm on inspection.
Do you cover all of the SE postcode area?
Yes — every district from SE1 upwards. Whether you're in SE16 or a neighbouring district, the same-day heat treatment service applies.
Do I have to leave the property during treatment?
Yes, for safety reasons. Treatments typically run 4-8 hours and the property reaches +141 °F. You can return the same evening once cool-down completes.
How soon after a SE16 treatment can I sleep in the bed?
The same night. Heat treatment leaves no residue and the bed is back in use immediately after cool-down.
