For homes, landlords and businesses
Mews houses and basement extensions
Mews houses share walls and roof voids along the whole row, and deep basement extensions add new service runs and light wells that mice can use. We survey from the basement up and proof the gaps. Our treatments come with a guarantee. See residential pest control.
Managing agents, porters and short lets
In mansion blocks, pests can move between flats, so let your managing agent or porter know about the problem.
Restaurants, traders and boutiques
For King’s Road restaurants, Portobello Road traders and Kensington High Street boutiques, our unmarked, 100% electric vans keep visits discreet. We also offer monitoring contracts, and deal with drain-related rat problems. See commercial pest control.
Council pest control vs Diamond in Kensington and Chelsea
The Royal Borough runs its own paid Pest Control Service for residents, businesses and property managers. You can book a premises survey or a short-term treatment online or by phone, take an annual contract, and council tenants in properties it manages get a limited free service. The council doesn’t treat bees or foxes, and says it has no statutory obligation to treat for tenants of private landlords or housing associations (RBKC Pest Control Service, checked 21 October 2026).
The council’s service is a good option. Diamond’s difference is flexibility: we’re open 24/7, your call will always be answered, and our vans are unmarked. For council fees, see the council’s own pages.

Yes. RBKC runs a paid service with surveys, short-term treatments and annual contracts. See the council’s Pest Control Service.
Who pays for pest control in a rented flat in Kensington and Chelsea?
It depends on the tenancy and the cause. Where pests get in through the building’s structure, drains or shared areas, it is usually the landlord’s or freeholder’s job. The Royal Borough says it has no statutory obligation to treat for tenants of private landlords or housing associations, so your landlord is the first call. See Shelter’s guide to pests in rented homes.
