Found another hole! A mouse was seen disappearing up under that side panel where the skirting returns:

Took the side panel off, draw out, cabinet back out:

Mouse had chewed up through the foam just near that earth wire:

Plated over with steel sheet, packed any gaps with wire wool and foamed over:

It would be very awkward to get in there and redo the "plaster" that came off when they removed the skirting. I was wondering about fitting a small angle iron and if there was some cementitious product I could get in behind it that they wouldn't like chewing? Maybe a sloppy sharp sand slurry?

Just to add that neighbouring properties have been suffering too. I've made contact with the pest control guy an adjacent landlord uses and will get him to visit. Charges £180 and visits four times. 

 

Any more issues and I'll drag the WM out and metal plate behind there too.
