From stone terraces to converted wool-trade mills, Bradford's roofs offer squirrels plenty of ways in. We trace the entry, clear the animals humanely and close it.
Bradford's wool-trade past left a city of big stone mills, and many have been converted into flats or offices with deep, hard-to-reach roof voids. Terraced streets elsewhere in the city have narrower lofts but long, shared roof lines. In both cases, a squirrel needs only a cracked ridge, a missing vent cover or a gap at the gutter line. We map those routes before deciding how to proceed, as every building is different.
In larger or multi-occupancy buildings, ownership can complicate things, since the roof may belong to a landlord or management company and several occupants may hear noise without being responsible for it. We can survey for any of them and report in plain terms. Business premises in the busy city centre can ask about regular inspections under a commercial service contract. Cost depends on the roof, the number of visits and the proofing needed.
That depends on your tenancy or lease, so check the terms. Pests in the structure are often the owner's responsibility. We can survey and write up what we find in plain language so you can send it to the landlord or agent.
Yes. Offices, workshops and converted mill units can have squirrels in roof voids or plant areas. We can survey during working hours or around them. Commercial service contracts are available for sites wanting regular checks, and no call-out charges apply to the first look.
