What our clients say
Trusted by estates, homeowners & commercial sites.
Bees and dripping honey — cleared and cleaned up
“I had bees in my unused chimney and honey started to drip down and smell. I called Beegone who took some of the chimney apart and removed the bees and the comb and cleaned up the mess.”
We called three companies — Beegone delivered
“We had bees getting in our home which was horrific for us. We called 3 companies… we wanted a professional job done. Thank you Beegone, I would recommend and use again!”
Vermin in the loft — sorted, and kept informed throughout
“Joel & Andrea both did an excellent job when we found we had vermin in our loft. They fitted a non-return valve and cleared the loft, kept us informed of what they were doing, and have solved the problem for us.”
Pre-qualified, not just presentable
Accreditations held across our specialist divisions. Thornemere Ltd · registered in England & Wales, company no. 09269881 · trading since 2008.
One company, five specialist brands
Why one company beats five suppliers.
Most sites juggle a different supplier for pests, bees, drains, ecology and roofs — five contracts, five invoices, five people to chase. Thornemere is one company across all five, so you replace them with a single relationship — and one company that owns the outcome.
One team that knows your sites — not a different call centre for every trade.
A single agreement across every discipline, with response times agreed in your contract.
Itemised by division, so finance keeps full cost visibility — billed upfront, monthly, quarterly or annually.
We self-deliver ~95% of work with our own employed teams; specialist input like scaffolding is vetted and supervised by us — one chain of accountability, no inter-supplier blame gaps.
The disciplines
Five specialist teams, one company.
Each discipline runs as its own expert brand and in-house team — but you reach them all through one contract and one point of contact.

Visit Sewerfix sewerfix.co.ukA real, employed operation
Our own people. Our own fleet. Managed in-house.
A liveried fleet and qualified, directly-employed teams self-deliver the vast majority of work. Where a specialist is needed — scaffolding, for instance — they're trusted, vetted and managed by us, so the job still gets done properly and on schedule under one accountable contract.

We survey your site, then recommend the right cover.
For the disciplines where prevention matters most, we don't ask you to guess. We survey the site first, assess the risk, and recommend a Bronze, Silver or Gold programme — sized to the building, with response times agreed in your SLA and billing to suit your finance team.
What each programme includes, once we've recommended the right one:
| Bronze | SilverMost chosen | Gold | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scheduled visits a year | 4 | 8 | 12 |
| Typically recommended for | Lower-risk sites | Standard commercial sites | High-risk & regulated |
| Documented visit reports | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Client portal access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Response agreed in your SLA | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Priority response | — | — | ✓ |
Not sure which you need? That's our job. Book a survey and we'll recommend the right programme — scoped to your site and billed upfront, monthly, quarterly or annually. Book a site survey

Estate & heritage
A heritage roof renewed
A characterful period property needed its roof renewed, with the look and detailing kept faithful to the original. Woodpecker re-roofed in matching clay tiles with specialist leadwork, working to a conservation-aware brief.
Outcome — watertight and true to the building, delivered on programme under one accountable contract.
Commercial & facilities
Access where others couldn't
A pest problem on a hard-to-reach part of a commercial structure had been left untouched. Our own team accessed it safely from scaffolding, traced the cause and resolved it properly — managed start to finish in-house, under one contract.
Outcome — the problem fixed at source and signed off, under one accountable contract.
Development site
Protected species, on schedule
A development was held up by protected species on site. Crown & Burrow surveyed, secured the licence and delivered the mitigation to plan.
Outcome — planning de-risked and the programme kept moving.
