Wasp Nest in a Cavity Wall – How Professionals Treat Hidden Nests in Stone Cross
If you are weighing up whether to call about a nest in your wall, it helps to know exactly what the fixed price includes and what it does not.
A single figure for a single nest
The price for treating a wasp nest is £120 per nest. That is the whole figure for one nest, and it is the same for a nest in an air brick, a crack in the pointing or any other entrance. There is no call-out charge, no extra for the time of day and no variation for the location.
For householders in Stone Cross, weighing up what a hidden nest might cost to sort out, that simplicity is the point. You are not asked to guess how big the nest is, because the wall hides it, and you are not asked to pay more if the technician finds it awkward to reach.
The price graphic on our site says one visit guaranteed. That is the promise attached to the fee, and we do not add any others to it.
Some people ask whether a nest that turns out to be small costs less. The answer is no, and equally a large one costs no more. The fee is the same for each nest, and that consistency is deliberate.
What you are paying for
The fee covers the technician's visit to your property and the treatment of the nest through its entry point. The technician is fully insured and qualified, and the treatment is intended to be safe and effective.
In practical terms that means:
- A technician coming to the property, with no separate call-out charge
- Treatment of the nest from the entrance, without opening the wall
- Safe handling around your family, pets and neighbours
- A visit at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends where available
It does not include building work. If the gap needs repointing or a vent needs mesh, that is a job for a builder, and we do not quote for it. We can explain what to ask for, but the repair itself is separate.
Where a property is a business, the same fixed fee applies. Domestic and commercial customers are treated alike for pricing. The technician is fully insured and qualified in both cases.
The second nest
Sometimes a property has more than one nest. It is not common, but a large building or a wall with several gaps can host two. Any nest after the first at the same property is charged at £60 for each one.
How would you know there is a second? Look for two separate entrances that do not seem to connect, with traffic at both at the same time. Or wasps keep appearing in a different part of the house after the first nest has been treated. Mention this to the technician, who can check while on site.
The £60 applies to a further nest at the same property. It is not a charge for extra wasps in the same nest, and it is not a way of adding to the first price.
If you are in any doubt about whether you have one nest or two, mention both entrances when you book. The technician will check on site, and the second nest is only charged if there really is one.
What does not change the price
Several things people worry about do not affect the fee. The time of day does not change it, so an evening or weekend visit costs the same as a Tuesday morning. The location does not change it, so there is no extra for being further from the technician's start point or for a hard-to-reach wall. And the size of the nest does not change it, because nobody can see inside the cavity to measure.
That is the benefit of a fixed price. You know it in advance, you can compare it with your budget and you do not have to negotiate. It also means we can talk plainly about what is involved without hedging.
If you want to be sure, ask when you book. You will hear the same figure.
Being open about this also means no awkward surprises on the day. The technician will not arrive and then announce that the price has gone up because the wall is high or the nest is bigger than hoped. The figure you were told at booking is the figure you pay, and no further fees are added for location or time.
What you can ask at booking
There are a few questions worth raising when you call. Ask whether the empty nest can be taken down, since that depends on where it sits. Ask about timing, including evenings and weekends, if you cannot be home during the day. Ask what you need to do beforehand, such as moving a car or unlocking a gate.
If anyone in the house is allergic to stings, say so straight away. Flagging it at booking lets the visit be prioritised.
Describe the problem as best you can: the wall, the height, the type of opening. You do not need to be sure about any of it. The technician finds the working entrance on arrival.
You are welcome to ask for a quote and booking by phone or through the online form, and to take your time deciding. We would rather you were comfortable with the plan than rushed into it.
Booking and next steps
To book, phone 01622 410 019, or use the online booking form on the contact page. We are open seven days a week, and same-day service is available. Domestic and commercial properties are both covered.
While you wait, keep everyone away from the wall, keep windows nearby closed and do not block the hole. After the nest is treated and the wall has gone quiet, have a builder seal the gap so a new queen cannot use it next spring.
That is the whole process: one call, one fixed figure, one visit.
