Make access practical
Clear the floor and move loose items away from cupboard openings. Tell the technician about fixed kickboards, integrated appliances and awkward pipe routes. Do not disconnect gas appliances or electrical equipment to create access.
Keep evidence in context
Photograph damaged packaging and the locations of droppings before disturbing them. Explain which cupboards are affected and whether signs appeared after building work. This helps an inspector decide where further access is justified and what proofing could be practical once the route and activity have been established.
Discuss fixed fittings early
If removing a kickboard requires a joiner or the landlord's permission, identify that before the appointment. A restricted inspection may still provide useful information, but its limits should be understood. Ask which areas remain unexamined and whether another access arrangement would improve the assessment.
