Specialist bed bug heat treatment across South East London
South East London covers a huge mix of property — riverside developments in Bermondsey and Greenwich, Victorian terraces across Peckham, Camberwell and New Cross, post-war estates in Deptford and Woolwich, and 1930s semis through Eltham and Sidcup. Each has its own bed bug profile, and heat treatment is the only single-visit option that works on all of them.
We cover every SE postcode as standard, including the dense student-let market around Goldsmiths in SE14, the corporate-let towers along the South Bank in SE1, and the family housing across Lewisham, Forest Hill and Crystal Palace. A single heat cycle treats a 2-bed flat in 4–6 hours.
South East London infestations are typically brought in via London Bridge and Waterloo East, hotels around Borough and the South Bank, or second-hand furniture from Deptford Market. Because heat kills bed bugs and their eggs in one pass, treatment is finished in a day — there's no four-week chemical cycle to wait through.
Why heat treatment is the right choice in South East London
South East London's combination of Victorian terraces, riverside conversions and high-rise estates makes spray-only treatments unreliable — bed bugs hide deep in floor voids and shared cavities. Heat reaches every void in one cycle, so flats can be slept in the same evening.
Heat treatment works because bed bugs and their eggs die at temperatures bed bugs cannot tolerate. We raise the air temperature in your South East London property to 50–60°C and hold it there for at least 90 minutes — long past the kill threshold for adults, nymphs and eggs. Because every life stage dies in the same cycle, there is no need for follow-up sprays and no ‘wait-and-see’ period. For a full explanation of the science and the treatment process, see our main bed bug heat treatment page.
