Batley's stone terraces and former mills are full of roof voids that suit a squirrel. We survey the roof, clear the animals humanely and close the openings.
Batley grew on the back of its shoddy rag-recycling trade, and its Victorian stone terraces, former mills and later housing reflect that heritage. For squirrels, the draw is the mix of old timber, sheltered voids and roof edges that have settled out of true. A mill roof can offer a vast, undisturbed nesting space, while a terrace loft is smaller and noisier, so people notice sooner. Either way, the entry point decides the plan.
Practical points can matter as much as the animal. A former mill unit may have restricted access to its roof, and an occupier may not own the building. In a terrace, we pay attention to the party-wall junctions, since squirrels sometimes pass through. After a lawful, humane removal, we proof every opening found. Where wiring is damaged, an electrician is needed, and we say so rather than leaving you to find out later.
Large industrial roofs offer shelter, timber to gnaw and little human disturbance. A nest can be established at the far end of a void without anyone noticing. Occupiers usually hear it first as scratching, or find droppings during maintenance.
Yes. The quote follows a survey, and the survey is free for homes and businesses. We describe what we found, what we propose and why. No call-out charges apply, so you can compare and decide without pressure.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
