Birstall's older stone houses and later estates both attract squirrels looking for a dry loft. We find the entry and see the animals removed humanely.
Birstall lies between Batley and Cleckheaton in the Spen Valley, with older stone housing around the centre and later estates beyond. A squirrel entering an older house will often use a worn gap beside a chimney or at the eaves, while estate houses give it plastic fascias and open vents. Moving above the bedroom ceiling in the afternoon is the sound most people report, sometimes joined by chewing late in the day.
We work from the outside in. A look at the walls, drainpipes and nearby branches shows how the animal climbs, and the roof edges show where it enters. Inside, we check for a drey-like nest of insulation and leaves, plus any cable damage. Same-day appointments are available. We give you a free quote, remove the animals humanely, clear the nest and proof the entry points.
A drey is the nest squirrels build in trees from twigs and leaves. In lofts they use insulation and debris to make something similar. Either way, the sign is a bundle of material in a sheltered spot, often near warmth, pipes or a water tank.
It helps for the first survey, so you can show us where you hear noise, but it is not essential if we can access the loft and outside areas. We can arrange access with someone you trust, and always explain what we found afterwards.

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
