Nylex Clock and the silos
The heritage-listed sign on the old malting silos beside the river and freeway marks the southern end of the suburb, where pigeons are common.
Cremorne packs workers' cottages, small terraces and converted factories into a tight grid between Punt Road and Church Street. When something dies in a shared wall here, the neighbours often smell it as soon as you do.
Send your details through the form and tell us where the smell is. We cover Cremorne 24/7 and usually attend the same day.
Cremorne jobs are usually about tight access: small roof spaces, terraces joined on both sides and commercial ceilings full of services.
We locate the carcass, remove it, disinfect, treat the odour and seal the gap, and we keep disruption to neighbours and tenants as low as we can.
Dead Possum RemovalPossums cross from the street trees onto Cremorne's cottage roofs and get in under loose iron or rotted fascia. When one dies in a small roof space, we remove it through the manhole or a roof sheet and close the entry.View details →
Dead Rat RemovalRats travel through Cremorne's laneways, under old timber floors and along party walls. We track the smell to the right cavity, remove the rat and treat the area, then block the way they came in.View details →
Dead Bird RemovalPigeons roost along the rail line and on the larger industrial buildings, and they nest in gutters, box gutters and roof gaps nearby. We remove dead birds and nest material and seal the opening.View details →
Dead Animal in Roof and Wall RemovalIn a Cremorne terrace the carcass is often inside a party wall or in a roof space shared with the house next door. We pinpoint the spot and choose access that keeps damage on your side as small as possible.View details →
Dead Animal Odour RemovalSmall cottages fill with smell quickly, and offices with recirculated air can spread it across a floor. We disinfect the area and treat the odour at the source.View details →
We find the source, remove the animal and any soiled material, clean and treat the area, then seal the entry point.
In joined cottages and terraces, the carcass may be over the party wall or partly in the neighbour's roof space.
How we help: We confirm which side it is on before we open anything, and if access is needed from next door we can explain the job in writing to share with them.
Converted buildings have suspended ceilings, ducting and plant rooms where a smell can travel a long way from its source.
How we help: We work with building managers on access times and trace the smell along the services until we find the actual spot.
Many Cremorne streets are tight, with limited parking and rear access only through bluestone laneways.
How we help: We bring what we need on foot where required and work from the laneway side when that gets us closer to the problem.

Cremorne is small, but its streets are short and easy to confuse, so we use a few well known points to get our bearings.
The heritage-listed sign on the old malting silos beside the river and freeway marks the southern end of the suburb, where pigeons are common.
The northern edge of Cremorne, lined with shops and older buildings with flats and storage above. Cottage streets run south from here.
The eastern boundary, with offices, showrooms and converted warehouses on one side and cottages and terraces behind them.

Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
The price depends on where the animal is and how we reach it. A rat in a party wall or above an office ceiling takes more work than one in an open roof space. We quote before any work starts.
Mostly rats, possums and birds, along with other animals that die in roofs, walls, subfloors, chimneys and commercial ceilings. We remove them, disinfect, treat the smell and seal the entry.
It depends on your policy, so check with your insurer or landlord. We can describe the work in writing, including the location and any damage found.
Usually the same day. We work 24/7 for urgent situations, such as a strong smell in a bedroom or a workplace. Fill in the form with the address and what you have noticed.
