PROTECTA PEST CONTROL LTD

What PROTECTA PEST CONTROL LTD does

Protecta Pest Control Ltd is a privately held, family-owned pest management business based at 26 Ennerdale Crescent, Newbold, Chesterfield, United Kingdom. The company was established as a formal business in 2012 by Gregg, who began catching pests at age eight on family land in Derbyshire, and is operated together with his wife Norma (office administration and RSPH Level 2 qualified) and his sister Joanne. Services cover residential homeowners, commercial premises, farms, and land owners within an approximate 20-mile radius of S41 8HQ, spanning Chesterfield, Sheffield, Dronfield, Killamarsh, Eckington, Bolsover, Clay Cross, Staveley and surrounding Derbyshire and South Yorkshire villages. The service portfolio addresses rats, mice, wasps, ants, fleas, cockroaches, moles, grey squirrels, rabbits, and flies, delivered through on-site inspection, treatment, follow-up visits, proofing advice, and prevention recommendations. Gregg is RSPH Level 2 certified, BPCA-trained, an NPTA member, and registered with the PROMPT Professional Pest Controller Register, with the company listed on the Derbyshire Trusted Trader Scheme and holding 300+ Google reviews.

The business operates on a transactional, fixed-fee pricing model with no proprietary technology platform. Pricing is published upfront and unit-based: rat and mouse treatments are £210 for three visits including full inspection, treatment, follow-ups, basic proofing advice, and a written report; wasp nest removal is £60 per nest with a £25 charge for any second nest on the same visit; free re-treatment is offered if wasps remain active; a £60 call-out fee (£95 after 19:00) applies if the customer declines to proceed. Same-day appointments are typically available for calls before mid-afternoon. There is no subscription layer and no recurring contract model disclosed; commercial work for farms, food sites, shops, and warehouses is structured as flexible per-visit arrangements.

Go-to-market is sales-led and owner-driven. Gregg handles inbound calls and texts directly on 07398 674924, with Norma taking bookings and office enquiries. The website (protectapestcontrol.co.uk) and a separate blog serve as the primary digital presence, with location-specific service pages targeting organic local search across more than 20 towns and pest-type pages optimised for SEO. Customer acquisition otherwise relies on Google reviews, referrals, and Derbyshire Trusted Trader referrals. There are no third-party resellers, no app, no API, no integrations, and no institutional investors, funding rounds, or subsidiaries disclosed.
